Official thread sponsor: First aid for your old denim.
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) |

You can frame your beloved favorite pants or denim jackets or nail them on a wall.

How do Acne Max Cash fit. Closer to New Standards or Petit Standards? Edit: D/w they look too skinny for me. |

I've been wearing 510s for the last three years and now the wash I kept rebuying has finally been discontinued. I'm looking at APC New Cure. What's the fit like in comparison? In terms of, thigh fit, the rise etc. |

Hi, new to this forum and was just wondering what you had to say about edwins? i've had some nudies for the last 18months and they're wrecked hole in the crotch area. Would you opt for edwins over nudies? |

yes but depends which ones you go for, the lower price edwins are pretty wack, but for the higher priced edwin's you can get APC/LVC which are imo, loads better. |

I do like the LVC, got some in the local sakis store. Never seen any APC around tbh. Are there any sales you would recommend to look at for some? might be too late with sizings being a 30 short/regular leg. |

Edwins over nudies all day fs, you can always get edwins on sales too, don't think APC are loads better, that's fucking harsh mate |

I've got a pair of black APC PS's that need a wash. (Not sure if you can get raw black jeans, but they've started to fade). Same process as indigo denim? Also, the legs have stretched out a bit, is there any way to shrink them back without having to taper them? |

Anyone handled Passarella Death Squad denim yet? Love the tee's and looking to get either a pair of these blacks or the black APC NS. |

Knowing PDS they'd probably fall apart if you so much as looked at them. |

Anywhere with LVC 505 raw 32 x 32 in the sale or even full price? Thinking the 34 x 32 I have are a tad too big especially if they are going to stretch a little bit on the waist. Thanks ps - anyone wanting to trade their mr porter LVCS in 34 x 32 for my 32 x 32 - PM me before i have to sell them at cost price to the GJ that already PMd me |

Anybody tried or own Acne "Jones" jeans? Just wanna know if they're true to size or if I could size down 1. Past seasons jeans have fit big so that's what I'm hoping |
Loomstate denim does still have starch in it
