I think this is 14-15 years old now. Tanner golden natural prototype Mike sent me. It’s taken on a bit of a curve.

Have a really similar one! Tanner natural, but with a nickel buckle. Must be around the same age. Can't remember exactly when I bought it - but at least 13-14 years ago.

Pretty good deal if you're in the UK. Just picked up a pair of 770, new with tags. £75.

Treated myself to a pair of 1108XX today. Despite always having gone with the 1109XX, the last pair I had were just too tight in the thighs after the second wash (plus... eh... maybe lockdown wasn't too kind).

Do any of the UK posters want them? They're in decent condition. 30x34, washed twice, had a crotch repair done, never hemmed but always worn rolled up a few times. Yours for free (if you're happy to cover postage).

Now gone. Winging their way Stateside.

@TheIntelligentHoodwinker If no one in the UK takes them I'll pay for shipping to the States!

OK! DM me and we can work something out.

Anyone know where I can find some old 1108/1109xx in sizes 30-32 (depending on model)?

Son of a Stag in London have some. Was considering another pair of 1109xx

Really excited to start this so hopefully I'll be seeing some Nippers on superdenim shortly 

 

 

Oh wow. Missed this. Good luck! I'll get some for my 5yo.

I need to stop opening this thread. So dangerous.

Also got this recently - my Grandads army hip flask. 

Great thread! Drive my wife mad with all the 'tut' that arrives on a regular basis.

This turned up today. I think it's from the 70s. Has a little pull string thing that makes him say a few (incoherent) phrases.

This has prompted me to dig out one of my favourite 12 inches. 
 

Its from the now defunct Money Studies - the in-house label from Turntable Lab in NY.

Great track. I used to have the Dead Bent 12" on Fondle Em which kind of sounds like a demo version.

Love Doom. Favourite album is Operation: Doomsday! by a mile. But I love most of his stuff and have been a fan since the KMD days. Met him very briefly in Shoreditch House once at a Ghostface show!

And yes, sorry all! It is a photo I pinched off the Clutch Cafe website (where I bought it). Will take some pics of my own and report back post haste...

What size is it...?

Tag size is medium, but is definitely a small and short in the body as they often are. Are you in the market for one?

 Interested in trying Cushman myself.

Cushman ones are lovely.

Have this one which I love but is a bit small. Might part with it.

London store is closing/moving. Anyone know where the new location is going to be? Loved the store, always though the location was a bit out of place.

I have the UES 400T in 34 and the 1108 in 35. UES is definitely roomier up top. More room in the hips and thighs. So you can definitely size down compared to your FC 1108

Ah, thanks for the response!

After a new pair with minimal details and think the 400T might fit the bill, so resurrecting this thread.

After something relatively slim - thinking I might size down? Fullcount 1108 and 1109 is my usual benchmark.

Sorry, but they're even worse than I thought...

Please share photos. This sounds too good to miss. 

I’m picturing something along the lines of...

I was thinking a mix of Pharrell Williams' derby and Vincent Price in Witchfinder General

please share your opinion.

Washing machine on the the shortest cycle. You'll never look back. Messed about with all those hand washing rituals years ago - doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

I'm a 31 in most jeans and often wear a tapered cut. A 7 inch hem is perfect for me as a relatively slim  (battling against my mideel aged spread) guy with size 8 feet. 

Same - pretty much identical mesurements to me, and I've worn similar for many years. 41 now - can't really see myself transitioning to a new look. I likes what I likes!

So much for my price reduction theory.

The 1109 is still one of my favourite cuts though - I'm on my 5th pair with a 6th on ice. Honestly, I can see myself picking up a pair of these new ones at some point unless I find something similar from a different brand.

Not familiar with the TCB fiasco - what happened there??
