I'm late for work, but wanted to post these pictures early!

...I'm a bit concerned, since I've often heard people discuss the need to wet stretch upon first trying APC's on...I was able to button them to the top, albeit, a snug fit.

I've soaked these in the tub for an hour, hopefully that will tighten them up...eep

should have gotten a 25. at least a 26.
diesel size - 1 = apc size.

I know, I'm thinking 26 would have been a better choice...

I assumed that since I'm a 30 in Levis, that my true waist size was 30...hmmmm...here's to hoping

It pains me to sit with these on, and my penis will never forgive me...does that count?

i think you failed.
and soaking APCs wont do shit.
if anything, you wont be able to return it now
plus you probably gotten rid of the starch/indigo and shit on the jeans. meaning shitty fades/creases. and just slow progression in general.
damn son.

i see no reason for you to get pissed at people trying to help you. in a month they will look like total ass and you will definitely regret buying a 27

they will stretch at least 2 full sizes within a week or so of daily wear. sucks for you, but you should have heeded our advice on this one.

not really, getting rid of the starch will just cause it to fade slower & more naturally, but not necessarily mean shitty fades or creases. It won't lose much indigo either.
I see nothing too bad about doing an initial soak on APCs, though it isn't really necessary.
