My APC Experiment

Today is Oct. 25th 2010.  My first blog post is going to be about my first pair of A.P.C. Petit Standard Jeans.  I have been eyeing a pair of A.P.C.’s for sometime now, and been curious about the fading process that everyone talks about.  I have never really been able to achieve much fading and organic wear and tear with my past jeans due to the fact that I like to keep buying, so none of my jeans really got a fair chance.  This time is going to be different.  I decided that I will do what some of my friends have done, and what many on the net have talked about.  Wear them everyday, don’t wash them, and just continue to break them in.

These Petit Standards are definitely a keeper. They are in my opinion a great slim yet relaxed jean. I know a lot of people said to size down on the jeans since they stretch a lot, but me personally I don’t like them too too tight. I like my jeans to be snug yet not constricting. On every site that I went on, there was no exact measurements which really irritates me. I like to know exactly what I am buying online. From actual waist sizes, thighs, knees, and bottom opening size.

My measured:
Waist:
Thigh:
Knee:
Bottom:

Day One;  I had my wife take a couple of pictures because I want to document the changes that will be taking place over the next couple of weeks.  The goal is 3 months.  I will be updating every 3 days with photos and wear them for approximately 10-12 hours per day.
The APC’s are definitely one of the stiffest jeans to date.  The pairs of denim before this was Naked and Famous Weird Guy, and I thought they were stiff off the rack, but APC’s take the cake.

I encourage anyone and everyone to post their pics if they would like to participate in any denim experiment.  Please feel free to contact me through here or email me at mydenimx@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.
