What owners report about A.P.C. pants
Owner and reviewer commentary on A.P.C.'s pants line centers on its raw and treated denim. Heddels describes the fabric as starting out "a rich deep indigo with a red cast, flat and starchy, with a slight sheen" and reports the jeans "fade really well—and fast" once broken in, though "you really have to beat 'em up to get the character to come through." A separate owner review calls the denim quality "second to none," noting raw pairs are cotton with a natural sheen that develops character through wear rather than showing early wear-through or seam failure.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently single out how the raw denim develops deep, individual fades with regular wear.
- Watch out for
- The recurring complaint is fit rather than durability — one reviewer notes "A.P.C. sizes differ from model to model," so a size that works in one cut can run tight or loose in another.
- Sizing
- One reviewer advises "You should take your regular size in these jeans. Don't size up or down," while cautioning that sizing is inconsistent across different A.P.C. styles.
