what’s really funny is that he laughs at the large proportions american bodies have. did he ever notice his own body?

I think you’ve a little too much quiche Jean.

APC used to make good stuff at very reasonable price (I\’m talking about at least 15years ago).

They made most of their line in France for shirting and jacket, in Scotland for knitting etc, but now in China and Tunisia where he is from (not many products).

I don\’t understand why people still buy APC… If Primark make tight fitting product in every garment, technically they are same level (it\’s just bit of branding difference).

I would really like to know what he thinks about the industry though…

Steve, u probably don\’t know A.P.C. that well, they are changing – slightly – all the time. Colours and shapes….. Just look at the regular old army jacket. It looks a lot different now than the original one.

To Kiya,

Who are the mill that manufacture chambray in the USA? I can\’t find them… I have been to a couple of textiles show in the past month and have not been able to find them. I find importer from both China and Japan only. Little help!

Touitou’s cynical remarks are probably and rightfully aimed at the mass consumer clothing industry, not at smaller firms.

For me it looks like he wasn\\\’t really interested in the interview. I\\\’ve never read such short answers anywhere else…
I like his thinking concerning the factories, but Steve\\\’s right for me.

Anyway, I need a jean and it looks like it\\\’s going to be a Raw New Standard, or any other advice? Does anybody know where they are made?

I am really sorry but no repition??? APC tend to get repeat itself every season , Same Cut different materials, same look : cropped and toned france during the student revolution .. And his attitude doesn\’t shine like he is really enjoying himself doing it
Bummer, expected more of the man
