How do I know I have picked the right sized APC Petit Standards?

I am a size 32 in most jeans so went with a 30".

Just got them now. Can't do the top button up but that's okay as I know they'll stretch. The fit looks okay but I mean they are super tight. It was a real struggle to get them on. Will the thighs stretch out a little too?

Would a 31" have stretched out too much? First ever pair of APC's Oops

Can someone tell me how much new standards shrink in length after the first wash. Since my ideal length is 31", would hemming to 33" be ok? I've looked at previous threads but can't find a definitive answer. Thanks

Go with a 4 mate. I'm yet to find any size 5's :'(

cheers man, most 4's I've come across have a 84cm waist, equates to just over 33.
I'm tempted to buy both sizes.

Regarding ED-55's - are there different fits of them? Some sits say slim and some say relaxed?

Are you talking about the labels themselves, or the shops description of them?

ED-55 are a looser 'relaxed' fit but the legs do taper… leg opening is around 6 or 7 inch laid flat

edit: ^ that.

No, they're all the same. Roomy at the top, tapered quite a lot at the bottom.

Cheers. Orders a 31 that came today to compare to the 30 petit standards.

Could do the top button up well easy. Tightness on the thighs felt almost the same too. Dont fancy wearing a belt so guess they would have stretched too much in the waist.

Tried the 30 on again and could just about with a struggle do the top button up so I guess in the long run they will fit better once stretched. Not that it matters becuase I sat down in the 30" whilst trying them on and snapped the tag off so I'm stuck with them now anyway Sad Laughing out loud

Just hope the thigh stretches out a little.

Anyone got any experience of RRL denim? I like some of the washed ones but so expensive.
