Full Count Denim Thread

[aho]

Poor impromptu photo of the sleeve on my FC Type 1:

 

Surprised how fast it's breaking in but I do wear it at least 4 times a week for extended periods of time (no washes as of yet; worn about one month). I love this thing as much as my favorite pair of jeans which is saying a lot!

Updated fit pic of my 1101 after they've been hemmed and settled a bit (although I got them hemmed a little too long). A couple weeks of wear. Pretty bad hip flare depending on the angle (can't really see from this angle) but that just something that happens with me and tapered cuts. Easiest pair I've had to break in, in a long time. Super comfortable from the get go. Enjoying them so far.

fit looks great , very comfortable looking 

[Coolguyzack]

What do you mean by hip flare? I think they look good

[Broark]

Those suit you well man!

[d-rew12]

Thanks guys! 

 

What do you mean by hip flare? I think they look good

Just excess fabric in the thigh that kind of flares/poofs out making them appear bigger. Also caused by my wallet and phone sometimes.

 

Tapered cuts make it seem worse when the knee is small but thighs are big causing excess fabric to bunch up. Most people usually don't mind but it's sadly always bothered me.

Great fit d-rew12!

[setterman]

Been searching through the thread and didn't see what I was looking for.  How much inseam loss are guys getting with the XX denim?  3"?  

[the spirit]

^not quite, maybe 2.5 after all shrinks are out.  

[Al6ert]

Picked up some button-down Full Count Flannels. really dig the hand feel of these...somewhat similar to that of the spring weight Flat Head flannels with a tighter weave.

Hi,everyone.

 

I have some size question about full count.

 

what type of 1101 is ? does it has highrise?

 

I like the denim with highrise,

[chicote]

The 1101 would have a high rise by my standards!

Hi,everyone.

 

I have some size question about full count.

I like the denim with highrise,

 

The 1101 has a relatively high rise with some taper below.  0105 is similar in the top block with less taper.  1108 also has a high rise but is much trimmer everywhere.

[jet.shi]

thanks for help.

 

if My actual size is w31,

 

Which size of 1101 will be best for me?

 

W29 or w30?

[Flash]

30 would be the safer option

[Sugar Mountain]

Jet.Shi - you and I are the same size in jeans. I wear a 31 in Sugar Cane 47s, TCB 50s, Warehouse 1001XX etc. I take a 30 in the Fullcount 1101 and that is a perfect fit. Don't go down to 29.

[jet.shi]

Thanks a lot . Will get a w30.( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Just to keep things moving round these parts...

how do your fc 1101 compare with your sc 47s?  my 47s fit me perfectly (sz 32) and i was thinking of going for the same size in 1101

[Sugar Mountain]

My size 31 Canes are tighter in the waist right after a wash than my size 30 Fullcount but stretch out for a good fit. The FC are slimmer through the thigh and of course they taper considerably more than the stovepipe leg of the 47. In the top block, both pairs have a fairly fitted seat and the rise *feels* about the same, even if the measurements don't necessarily match up.

 

I'd recommend that you take a size down in the Fullcount because they are a shade oversized in the waist and the denim will stretch very easily.

Threw my 1108 in the dryer, expecting some cool marbling like who and all I got was a dry pair of jeans.

Will snap some photos on the weekend, but am loving how they look

[beautiful_FrEaK]

are there any threads left though?

[bradl]

Yoke is falling apart at an alarming rate, but hoping it can hold out for a little bit longer. Going to take jyoni up on some repairs in the coming weeks, and I will try to add them along with my Red Clouds.

 

Also was browsing denimbro, and came across your post with the 1108xx from 2013, and thought it was pretty interesting the route these jeans have travelled over the years.

I wonder what other factors come in to play, like detergent, washer/dryer type, water (we have our own well at our house), and hard vs softened water.   

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@bradl:

 

it was even from 2012 (I just checked to be sure).

These pants surely travelled a lot from Japan, to Europe to North America.

Too bad they don't stand a change against your abuse

For me, it's whatever detergent we have which is currently arm and hammer with stain fighter, so probably pretty tough on denim. Normal wash setting with gentle spin., with low heat for 60 mins. Its top load, so not sure if that has anything to do with it either

 

Also addicted to having clean jeans. Can start to notice by the end of work they start feeling grungy..

Almost travelled more than me.

Also one thing I have noticed with the 1108xx is that they have very similar denim to the Samurai S710og16. Will update with pics, if I can capture it with my camera, on the weekend.

[helanga]

I need some advise on FC 1108xx...

Currently, i own a RC R400 size tag 31 (79cm) and it fit me nicely. I read some thread/forum posted by BF that the cutting of FC is smiliar to RC.

I intend to cop 1108xx soon and should I take size tag 31 or 32? How the shrinkage after a hot soak?
