Looking at APC and Dior. What wash/cut for these that is current (aka available in my size) is generally the best/your fav all around? I've never had either of them, and did the same thing with nudies (was recommended, and bought a pair. if nothing else, at least to have experienced lots of other brands I suppose) and liked the idea. I just cant see any of these in person (though APCs site is pretty good on the pics) so just asking what some of you would say about is the best/your favorite cut and wash as I'd like an opinion because I'd only be buying one of each (maybe). =/

Do you really need to ask? I bet the answers are dior bas 19 and apc new cure.

apc pretty much only makes the raws as far as jeans go dude. its those or nothing pretty much, unless you want pants in the denim cut. they have those "pre-worn" ones that are basically raws that field workers wore for a year to break them in, but i think thats pretty wierd and would not buy them.

^ Yea, I know APCs are all mostly raws. Just seeing what everyone would say is the best/fav current cut/wash for each. Yea, I wouldn't be getting any pre-worn ones, lol.

get the new standard or petit standard selvage, and dust or umc in 19cm dior. you could probably rock 17.5cm as well, so look into the sheers.

I personally love the way the 19cm cut fits. I tried on 17.5cm and it felt a little too slim for me, but you could probably pull it off. Also tried on 21cm but didn't really feel like it was anything special for my body type.

Never tried on APC, but I kinda want to try the New Standards to see what they're like.

^they are like 21cm so you will not like them. if you like 19cm get new cures. i think the petit standard are more like 17.5cm, as in lower rise, slim, and not tapered really.

You seriously need to get rid of your own insecurity of sexuality.

While one day I'd like to be in a position where a pair of Dior's would fit in my closet but that day is not now (broke masters student).

I did however just snag a new pair of APC's to go along with my Flatheads and I gotta say.. I'm surprised at how much I like them.

honestly eclipse, im sure you'd be gloriously happy with either, as long as you get the right size and there are plenty of size charts and masses of talk about sizing in both the apc and dior threads.

my personal opinion might sway towards a size up in your thanaz size, and give 19cm Dior a shot. Or size down from your thanaz, and rock some New Cure. j

you can almost always resell if you buy from sufu, or anywhere else and they are new. so just go for it.

the APC's are obviously a lot more bang for your buck. But if you're tall and skinny, the 19cm will probably look best. if you have an athletic or even a medium build or you're short, the 19cm aint for you.

Thanks for the opinions. I'll most likely snag some APCs first and go from there.

Thanks again!

Stand by your APC's, the quality (despite lack of real world experience) seems to be on-par with the more expensive alternatives. Great indigo color and fantastically stiff starchiness

I'm actually selling off my Diesel collection to feed my newly acquired habit, any takers?
