APC new standards, 3 weeks.

well, got my APC New Standards on aug 30 in New York at the mercer street store,
since my waist size is 28, i tried on the 26's, after learning APC stretches out 2 inches after wear.
i couldnt even button up the 26's.. ballcrushers.
so i got them in 27W x 34L. snug fit, not too tight, nor too loose.
started wearing them on the 31st, they were mad stiff, and after 6 hours of continuous wear, honeycombs and whiskers had already set in nicely.

now ive been wearing them for 3 weeks straight, non-stop.
some people think its gross, i personally think i just love my jeans more than they do.
i feel progress is coming along smoothly, planning to soak these after 3 months of wear.
the waist did stretch out considerably, 15 inch across w/ dip, but nothing a belt cant fix.
the soak should also shrink the jeans back down an inch or half.

front, got some pretty nice whiskering going on

these were pretty cheap for selvedge.
$155 isn't that bad at all. plus, it's much better quality than those overpriced true religions or rock and republics.
after i break these in, i'm planning to save up and get a pair of Dior 19cm.
