Full Count Denim Thread

Depends on the fit you want, but you could probably wear the 35.  

 

Having had the standard 0105 and the heavier BiG 0105C, I think I'd go for the heavier denim with any future purchases.  Both denims soften up quite a bit with some washes, almost too much for my liking with the standard denim.  The heavier denim stays closer to what you'd expect in a pair of jeans.

thanks ! is the XX version a bit bigger in the waist btw?

[setterman]

As far as I know, the only difference is with the weight.  Patterns are the same. My 0105s are a 36.  Not sure I'd want them any smaller post wash, but they get pretty baggy after a few wears, and make me wonder if I should go with a 35 if I get another pair.

hi guys, im considering to buy a pair of 0105. i wonder if there is any major difference between the XX and normal version apart from the weight. and i wear 36 for most jeans (~90 cm in the waist using BiG method), shall i get a pair of 35 (one-washed version) in this case? Cheers

 

 

Great choice- the 0105 is such a great cut along with the 1101. In my opinion I'd go with the 0105XX- it's such a lovely denim and really does age like a 50's Levi's. I'm a 32 in most jeans but definite 31 in Fullcount. I've got a number of pairs in both denims and because my 0105XX are the most worn in so far, my initial opinion is that I prefer the XX denim over the standard. Still, once I've worn all the pairs in both weights I'll give my opinion- which on current calculation will be in 12 year's time!

I'd say go with the standard denim from Full Count. It fades beautifully and, if I remember correctly Tchengaa, you live in southern China right? For our climate, the lighter weight denim makes much more sense. It's really comfortable even in summer.

thx for the tip! do you suggest me to downsize to 34 (around 88cm in the waist) for the one wash version? since full count denim is quite stretchy...

[nycsurfer530]

if you go standard fabric, definitely size down one

Hello all thinking about a pair of FC in the standard 13 oz.

Can anyone provide a link for a basic breakdown of cuts. I like comfortable with a longer rise but I'm skinny...so it's a tough balance between comfortable and too loose like a scarecrow.

Thanks

I reckon the 1108 might be a good one for you- nice rise and a straight fit and the great thing about Fullcount denim is it's comfortable straight away. As long as you size correctly (always size one down) then none of the cuts will make you look like a scarecrow! 0105 is a nice straight 50's cut, 1101 same kind of cut but with a taper so more like a 60's cut, and 1110 is a slim tapered too. Here's a link to Fullcount online- compare the measurements of each model (there's a useful line up of fit pics of each model too) and you'll get a sense of how the cuts differ but the great thing is that the models aren't drastic in their differences in my opinion.

Hope that helps!

seconded on the 1108. i also have skinny legs. in my head i wanted the 0105 but when tried on, the 1108 looks much more flattering.

Shameless plug but my 1108 are up on ebay

Thanks for the post....just checked the rise on the 1108.... I need at least 12 @ 36". So I'll investigate the 01s

[edmond]

1101's for me i size down to get a slim fit but high rise

[Mr-Bielby]

Can't get in with the 1108, ended up waist too big to accommodate the thighs plus the leg opening is too big on the larger sizes.

1105, or 1101 are great though sized down 1

[Max Power]

I'm still waiting for my 1101 to stretch as much as everybody experienced. They fit ok now, almost comfortable but so far havent stretched more than usual. Also I decided that these will now go into the rotation, together with the Resolute and probably a pair with  heavier denim when it gets really cold.

[JohnM]

^ Are they size 34 Max?  I would think they'd fit well and be comfortable.

[setterman]

Yeah, surprised to hear you're having any sort of issue Max.  I have found though that if you aren't wearing jeans daily, the waist feels like it tightens up some if you're giving them some time off between wears. 

[jewellben]

Has anyone experienced any shrinking with the FC one wash denim on first washes? Could do with losing a bit in the length on my latest pair

[aho]

^It will continue to shrink...Don't have exact measurements, but you can def get some shrinkage out of their one washes

Damn ed, thanks for the inside scoop! Wonder if repatterned means a tweaked cut? I need some 0105s while I'm at it...

[aho]

More pictures on instagram via Tsujita-san and fullcount official....Teasers, but looking mighty fine regardless. That patch...

[Broark]

Saw these too, very tempted.

I'm guessing the denim is slightly different?
