Acne - fit true to size

APC New Standards -size down 2 or even 3 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).

Julian Red - fit small, so maybe true to size on raw and possibly size up on non raws

You would get about £150/200 on eBay mate.

schtoop, I will give them a good home!

Got some LVC 1947 501 rigids if anyone wants them? New without tags, were a 32x36, now a 32x34 after soaking them.

Can't get on with them - went TTS and should have sized up one. Too tight for me.

picked up some unbranded 101s off ebay for £50, cheers phikz for sizing help. Have to say the quality is on par with APC, fit same as New standards above the knee and taper a little more towards the ankle. I'm a 31 in new standards and 32 in unbranded for anyone thinking of buying. Like i said quality is same as APC but £100 cheaper, will be interesting seeing how they fade

Yeah for the money you cant go wrong, I actually prefer the colour on the undranded's they are even darker than apc's.

The top button on my petite standards has come off and I have lost the button bit, I have the back prong tho.
Does anyone know if APC have the facility to re-apply a button in any of the London stores?

2-3 inches in waist, between 1.5-2.5 in the leg. Depends how you wash them really.

Hotter the water, the more they will shrink. Your best to wear them in a bath of water so they 'shrink to fit'.

If they fit perfect now they won't after a soak. sell them and get the right size. or never let them touch water

They won't shrink 2-3 inches in the waist assuming you wash in the bath shrinking to fit- they'll shrink 1 inch at most, infact, mine didn't shrink at all in the waist: i.e. they measured 16" across before wash and after wash. (They might shrink more than an inch if you use a washing machine).

They will shrink at least 2" in the leg though.

I went TTS and they're just too tight for me in the waist, best of sizing up 1" in the waist I reckon.

Best fitting slim fit selvedge sub £150? Been eyeing up the Tellason Ladbroke Grove but unsure how slim they are, I like quite a slim fit.
