Is Son of a Stag the place where people get their jeans chainstitched? What's the damage?

Picked up apair of selvedge Levi's 505 and a pair of Edwin ED80 for £40 each in Urban Outfitters btw (down from £100 and £130 respectively), both really nice denim.

£25 per pair same day or £20 couple of days pickup, I had 4 pairs done the same day (was a week day) and they did it within 1 hour for £80.

Quality very good, coloured matched stitching etc.

Are Petit Standards slimmer through the thigh? I have a pair of NS tagged a 32 and they are perfect through the thigh but could do with being slimmer from the knee down, couldn't get my thunder thighs / calfs into 32 new cures. Same problem with Dior 19's although 21's fit fine.

Am in a world of indecision regarding APC NS and PS. HW makes New Standard look great (no homo), but I rarely see em looking this good. If I go for PS are they going to sit alright on red wing chukkas and New Balance? Thoughts?

I find the same problem with my 32 NS. If you've got big thighs don't bother with the petit standards, I couldn't get into a 34, shame as the cut below the knee sits on most shoes nicely. Anyone had their NS tapered slightly?

I am 2 stone over BMI, therefore they fit well on the legs and waist.

Couldn't get on a 31 PS compared to a 31 NS. If you have a slim leg the thigh looks too baggy on NS.

I've got a pair of brand new Petit Standards size 30 to return to Mywardrobe tomorrow. Paid £84 for them with the bank holiday discount code which I assume has now expired. Anyone wants them for £88 delivered let me know asap. Cheers!

What is the deal with sizing on APC Washed Black jeans ? Do you size down 2 or true to size ? I am guessing true since it is already washed ? Can anybody answer this ?

I'm after a pair of these where have you seen them?
if you size down 2 in the raws i would say only size down 1 in the washed blacks.

I'm after the washed black in the new standard style. I'm going to have to buy them direct from apc.fr as nowhere else stocks them. What size and model are you after ? I see them sometime on ebay but in the french section.
