Hmmm I'm tempted to say size down? I went TTS, I'm lean/skinny but I got football butt and monstrous calves. Was surprised when I didn't have to size up.

After doing some research in this thread and other places, I finally went and bit the bullet and got some A.P.C NS. Tried them on and as soon as I did I knew I couldn't go back to my raggity old 508s. Getting them tailored just a bit length wise and picking them up saturday. Can't wait to start breaking them in.

My waist is a true 31, usually wear a 33 in Levi's because I have big f***in legs (amateur bodybuilder) but I went 31 in the APC NS and they were very snug, just how I wanted them to start out. So, long story short, two sizes.

Yeah, definitely snug. But not in a suffocating way like most skinny/slim fit jeans are. Will break in very nicely.

I laugh when someone rustles jimmies and comments on how the ripped up jeans in the designer clothing thread look like some abercrombie jeans. I think abercrombie's jean washes actually look better aesthetically than the the washes of those $7-800 jeans. For that price I expect them to look a lot better.

Unless they're faded or black don't do it if they still look indigo

Anyone know of a good denim tailor in sf that will be relatively affordable for tapering legs?

Oh no you're probably right I read too fast.
Are denim alterations generally more expensive than other pant fabrics?

I just picked up a couple pairs that I had tappered at Taraval Cleaners. He did a great job, charged $30 a piece to taper from the inseam (I think it's $25 regularly). Had pretty good revues, apparently he was a tailor at Nordstrom for 15 years.
it was my first time going there and I'm pretty happy with the result.

Yes, and make sure you stress that. Last thing you want is to pick them up and the selvedge is cut off

In SF right? I might have to go there. My normal spot downtown charged me close to $50 for mine and it was done on some Levis that I figured to just get custom fitted instead of buying a new pair. I feel like if I take my N&F pair there, they will charge me more.

Yup, right off of 19th on Taraval. Damn, $50 just for a taper? Definitely check this place out. Those downtown spots try to price gauge people, probably to cover their overhead
