———————————————————————————-

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).

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

Anyone know how much Nom de Guerre denim will stretch, if at all? Bought the unwashed slim fits from oki-ni outlet, I can only just do up the top button plus they're really tight at the thighs, but fine from the knee down.

Charge £15 for chainstitch hemming, and if I call before I go down, should be able to do it while I wait. Saves me going all the way to east london or adding extra charges by sending to the denim doc.

How did it go mate, get them done?

Been working 7-4s every day so haven't had a chance yet, as soon as I do I'll post up some pics.
Probably won't be for another week though.

His hemming skills are good tho'

Thanks for the good rep, Mr Black.
First post on here as just joined this forum. Looks like there is some great denim debates going on. Looking forward to sharing in them.

since apc stopped producing the black petit standard i need a legit alternativ for a black jeans.
which model from acne comes close to the petit standard? max or ace?
and how would you recommend sizing at acne?
…i'm a size 30 at apc and i don't need to roll 'em (length), so i have rather longer legs.
my feeling tells me 30/34 or 31/34.

any help much appreciated!!

I think Max is more similar to PS - as Ace are more a skinny fit, while Max are slim (prefer the fit of Ace myself). On my Acne Ace i went TTS and they fit perfect.

Max is a great fit, I sized down 1 on the waist for a slimmer fit as they have stretch in them
