Be careful when hemming raw denim (getting them cut shorter). Raw denim is known to shrink when it comes in contact with water - that's why inseams on raw denim are so long. If you're not smart about it, you'll end it with high waters. I'm against hemming raws, I just saw cuff them. I've seen too many pairs on eBay that have been "hemmed" to like 29" inseams :x
APCs are sanforized, b

who was the nt'er mentioned how he got raw-type fades from regular denim before. and was any pics ever posted? i got some plain denim with a raw look to them and was wondering if i treat it like raws would it come out with similar results. i posted pics of my denim couple pages back too.
 
is it possible to still develop the "honey comb" effect after giving your jeans a wash? 8o
 
I thnk I'm gonna pull the trigger on a pair of APC Petit New Standards. Didn't see any on Ebay, does anybody know any sites that have them cheaper than retail?

Also, how long do these jeans need to be worn before they stop bleeding? Thanks in advance.
 
Ended up just picking a pair up at Nordstrom with 30% off. Really liking the fit.

Only thing that I was kinda surprised with is how stiff they are. It's my first pair of Apcs
 
that was fast :lol.

you can't stop jeans from bleeding onto shoes, less you wear dark colored shoes :\

Yeah I wasn't expecting to pick em up that fast but a buddy of mine was working at Nordstrom so scooped em up.

And I always heard after a certain amount of wears the jeans would stop bleeding? Guess I heard wrong.
 
yep. i personally like that feeling idk why :rolleyes :lol

lol I see what your saying.. but these have gotten a lot easier to wear since washing.. not as "rigid" and it also feels softer..

This was my biggest problem when I got my pair.. Those first couple of wears will be real hard to get used to :lol
 
508 is regular fit with a taper. 511 is skinny. 508 is roomier in the seat and thigh area
 
I have a sudden interest of getting in the raw demin club but gained a little bit of weight

. I pulled the trigger on the shrink to fit 501 as a cheaper alternative until I go back to where I wanna be. Anyone have experience with these?
