Acne - fit true to size APC New Standards -size down 2 or even 3 from true waist size APC New Cures - size down 1 or 2 from true waist size April 77 - size down 1 or 2 from true waist size Dior raw 19s and 21s - have vanity sizing and are labelled as two sizes smaller than actual size Edwin Nashvilles - size down 1" - quite a different fit to most jeans out there though (massive rise, loose at thigh and comparitively tapered at the leg). See the Edwin denim fit guide. Julian Red - fit small, so maybe true to size on raw and possibly size up on non raws Nudies - size down 1 or 2 Raf by Raf - true Ring - true (New thread, old one started by Paulo G, archived here) |

How effective are reductions on waist size by the denim doctor? Got some old fucked up samurais that fit maybe 2inchs too big for me and was thinking of sending them off. Is that too drastic of a reduction? I had a pair of fluxus taken in by 2 inches, pics are in here somewhere. About £20 by the Doc. |

Brings the back pockets close together and just looks wrong. |

@eazy, unless it's over 2" it shouldn't effect the pockets, had the doc do a few pairs and it's unnoticeable! |

Its the arse seam that gets taken apart and pulled closer together to reduce the waist, to me its noticeable but I guess I'm fussy. |

How do Fallow jeans fit? Bit of a late reply but I backed my Fallow jeans. They were a nice fit in the legs but I ordered tts and the were too big in the waist but weirdly tight around the top of the thighs. I ordered the10oz selvedge ones on the oki ni sale. Kept some Indigofera ones which fit great. |

Think ive got some dodgy apc's, things are fading like none ive ever owned before and constantly bleeding denim. Just soaked them to try to stop the bleeding and fuck me they have faded fast. I got these at the start of April brand new and look at the state of them for only 3 months monday to friday wear. Pretty extreme for 3 months from new, no?
Bump, for these. 2 months on and they look so fucked and faded, been wearing APC jeans for years and they have 100% changed something.

What have you ordered lee? Got Jake to get me a pair of the new damage 09 in 04 cut. Combined shipping with Soulti so he posted them up to me yesterday |
....should I just get a new pair or wear them around the house with the top button undone and hope they stretch some more (sized down 1 when I bought them)?
