The APC Petit Standard Index

If your city cannot afford APC Petit Standard Jeans, it's going to vote for socialism

There are certain material milestones people dream about: buying a car, a ring, a home, and then perhaps a watch. Those things are nice, but for most New Yorkers they are hysterical impossibilities.

The attainable essentials are probably an MTA card, a canvas tote, a bottle of orange wine, and a pair of jeans that can help you acquire a job, meet friends, attract a partner, procreate, experience family, or simply have a funeral attended by a couple warm bodies one day.

If you file a W2, have a boss, work in an office, etc. you have to have a pair of jeans with a cut that is office appropriate and transitions seamlessly to having a Little Gem Salad or you simply cannot function and the most reliable do-everything denim is absolutely the APC Petit Standard.

My ass is too fat for this cut, which is why I still wear NBA Jeans.
