FAQs
What does 'selvedge denim' mean?
Selvedge denim refers to denim woven on a specialized loom that leaves a clean, finished edge (a 'self-edge'). This often indicates higher quality denim and is traditionally associated with raw denim, known for its durability.
How do I properly break in raw denim jeans?
The best way is to wear them as much as possible in their original state. Avoid washing them for at least the first 3-6 months. When you do wash them, use cold water and a gentle cycle, and air dry.
How should I wash my A.P.C. Standard Jeans?
Machine wash cold at 30°C. It is recommended to turn them inside out and wash them separately or with similar dark colors to prevent dye transfer and protect the fabric.
Will these jeans stretch?
Yes, like most 100% cotton denim, these jeans will stretch slightly over time with wear, conforming to your body's shape. The amount of stretch depends on fit and wear.
What is the rise of these jeans?
The A.P.C. Standard Jeans feature a high-rise waist, meaning they are designed to sit higher on your waistline.
Can I tumble dry these jeans?
It is not recommended. Tumble drying can lead to significant shrinkage and can damage the fibers over time. Air drying is the preferred method for maintaining the fit and longevity of the denim.
What is the difference between the different MPN numbers listed for this product?
Different MPN (Manufacturer Part Numbers) often indicate variations in size, color, or specific production runs. However, for the A.P.C. Standard Jeans, they primarily denote different sizes or minor production details while maintaining the core product characteristics.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with raw denim. Wear the jeans regularly for short periods, and they will soften and conform to your body shape over time. Avoid excessive washing during the initial break-in period.
Color transfer to other items
Indigo dye can transfer. Wash the jeans separately or with dark colors for the first few washes. Be mindful of contact with light-colored furniture or car seats until the color has stabilized.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are washing at the recommended 30°C. If shrinkage is a concern, consider air drying instead of using a machine dryer, which can cause more significant shrinkage.
