I'm sure you're dying to know the outcome of this story...
Couldn't spring for a £200 pair of jeans on this occasion, so after some head-scratching I chanced a pair of N&F Weird Guys 22oz 'Broken (twill) Elephants'. Once I'd overcome new levels of vanity sizing (had to return a 31 for a 30; true size is probably 34/35), I'm very happy with them: a bit more rise and a bit more room everywhere than my APCs - especially in the lower leg - which is what I was after. Looking forward to sick fadez - and less gouging of the waistband.
I'm probably a bit late here but I went through the same conundrum. Went to Son of a Stag and ended up with some Tellason Gustave that I'm still happy with over a year later
