Space infader, innit.

maybe next time round somebody could try Arseteroid...........

sorry, couldn't resist...

I've recently become interested in Full Count. I prefer a slim cut as opposed to the vintage cut. Which model should I look at? Right now, my denim is a 32 waist with 11 inch front rise and 11.5 inch thigh. I really don't want the high rear rise.

the slimmest is actually the 1110z. Blue In Green have it, or did last time i checked..

.... when you notice that the keys on your keyboard have a pale blue tint to them

as i'm wearing my old 13oz Cobras right now, that's inspiring me to do a before/after of my own.

not everyone gets the same results. whilst the denim should typically behave the same between batches, it's normal to see variations. method of soak etc can also mean differing results but as long as you like them & they fit that's the main thing.

i can second that on the pocket sizing, whilst they're no Strike Gold in the depth department, they is plenty deep.

I hot soaked my brand new pair ( size 36) twice and got somewhere between 0.75 - 1 inch of shrinkage in the waist.

what he said. i got an inch after a couple of hot soaks on some 3109's.

@brownmetallic - those Jins are awesome. Nice work!

congratulations.

for a nice pair of jeans.

and getting married......

mine stretched massively after the 1st soak so if that's what you're after you should get it. a 2nd soak shrank them up even more.

btw. here's my pair in action (still with a little crotch blow)...

 

you got some great lap & pocket bag fades there - looking good.

Guns & Money came to mind when I heard of Lawless denim  ... my line will be branded Convict

i forgot about these guys. i recall snakeskin, and a bunch of meatheads standing next to expensive cars.

 

One interesting detail about Lawless denim: they let you customize each pair of jeans. I'm surprised no one mentioned that.

 

They let you choose patch design, thread color, stitching details for pockets, seams, hems, button metal (copper, brass, etc) and some other details I'm forgetting now. Try getting that from any of the bigger brands. (An aside - I can't believe I'm referring to a couple Japanese companies that have a fraction of one percent of total denim market share as "bigger brands".)

 

Anyway, I backed a few pairs from Lawless. I can get over the typos and marketing for customized jeans made of 18.5 oz Kuroki selvedge that are under $100 and 17 oz Kaihara for under $80.

. 

 

Let them prove themselves. Maybe the quality will be good. There's a lot of room in the market place for new companies, and I'd rather support them, and other new companies, than shoot them down.

 

i'd say there's no room in the market for new companies, especially when they're kickstarter funded and peddling the 'for americans by americans' thing. they're a dime a dozen.

seconded - different fabrics.

what Ed said.

i have some Iron hearts that have it worse than this, and have been since day one. it's been 18mths now since i first put them on and it has amounted to less than nothing.

your jeans are fine. wear & move on.

i saw a bit on mine but nothing that needs to come with a warning.

updated fit pics following a second hot soaking. i was contemplating sizing down yet again as the waist had stretched massively but a second soak really did the trick all over, and even after a full day's wear they haven't gotten loose again. well happy with this outcome..

nice work there

didn't know there were different versions out there, this is just what the shop had. feel a bit ripped off to be honest.

pardon the shit quality

[/url]

bought these about a year ago, but they've seen maybe six months of wear all up, so pretty pissed the outer sole has already worn through.

should i be concerned that the bottom layer of my Red Wing chukkas wore through in less than 6mths?

*off-topic

no worries. just on the shrinkage, that's in both waist & leg in case you were wondering.

Long time no update

My 1st Fullcounts so pretty happy so far. Will need a hem though..
