The verdict
Fit
A wide-leg Type 00 cut with a mid-rise and a straight, slightly loose leg; because it is a baggy fashion silhouette, confirm sizing against A.P.C.'s size chart before ordering rather than defaulting to your usual number.
Quality
Made from sanforized 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim milled exclusively for A.P.C., with front scalloped pockets and batwing stitch details; the denim is sourced from Japan.
Is the price fair?
At $375 it is a premium raw-selvedge jean; the exclusive-milled 14.5oz Japanese selvedge and collaboration detailing justify the step up over the standard version for buyers who specifically want selvedge construction.
Best for
A raw-denim enthusiast who wants a heavier wide-leg Japanese selvedge jean from the A.P.C. x Brain Dead collaboration and plans to break it in over time.
Care
As stated for this raw pant, hand wash in cold water and line dry to minimize shrinking.

What owners report about A.P.C. jeans
Owners report the raw pairs — cut from 14.5 oz. Japanese selvedge — start stiff and snug, stretch to fit with wear, and fade into high-contrast patterns documented in multi-year wear logs on denim sites. Reviewers rate the fit and construction well for the price, and the line is a common first raw-denim purchase. Long-term wear posts also show front-pocket and crotch repairs along the way, and sizing differs from model to model across the range.
- Strengths
- The raw Japanese selvedge fades into defined, high-contrast wear patterns and conforms to the wearer over years of use.
- Watch out for
- The break-in is stiff, sizing varies between models, and multi-year wear logs show crotch and front-pocket repairs.
- Sizing
- Reviewers advise buying raw pairs one to two inches smaller than your usual waist because the denim stretches, and note that sizes differ from model to model.
