WHAT IS A.P.C. KNOWN FOR?

Comfy turtlenecks, well-proportioned straight-leg pants, plain baseball caps, understated leather goods, and quietly luxe sneakers are all part of the brand's offering. However, the brand's true claim to fame is Japanese raw selvage denim — denim that has not been wet, processed or manipulated in any way before being purchased.
