^ I'd really like to have a pair of 1101XX too EdwardBear -- actually I have a pair but in the wrong size!
Anyone know if Fullcount might do an Anniversary pair in the 1101 cut or are we confident that it's only the 1108 and 0105 at this point? I was holding off on the XX until I knew for sure.

I have the 1108XX (36) and really like the 15.5 oz. denim -- actually prefer the weight to the banner Fullcount denim. The latter may be a touch softer but the XX denim is a nice blend of softness and durability. Can't remember exactly how hairy it was. The color, however, is quite dark.
b_F., you must be quite trim now if you're wearing a size 34! I have a feeling a 34 would be way too tight for my fat thighs ;-)

Good to see you're taking this seriously b_F! ;-) Max is a formidable competitor!

I'd love to see an 1101 anniversary also Max -- my favorite Fullcount cut.

Tilmann, you're my man but Flo can fade a pair of jeans in six weeks ...

JDelage,
I love the Sugar Cane Type II modified from Self Edge. It's my favorite denim jacket of a total of three I've owned. Soft and comfortable, quick break in, superb fit with enough room in the chest and armholes. The overall length is fine for me. Yes it's longer than the classic Type II but it feels good and looks fine. Quite a bit of shrinkage if you decide to go for it.

mindrewind,
Tell us more about your photography (film, etc.) -- beautiful. Love the shot through the trees -- reminds me of a print I have from Michael Kenna. Do you know his work?

I picked up a couple of Type II denim jackets recently (size 42, raw) and thought I'd share post soak measurements for those interested:
Studio D'Artisan D4385
Chest 21.75"
Shoulder 18.75"
Sleeve 25.75"
Length 26.75"
Sugar Cane 1953 Type II (Modified Length)
Chest 22.75"
Shoulder 19.75"
Sleeve 24.25"
Length (NA but can get later -- a couple inches longer than the Studio)
Both are very nice. The Sugar Cane is very soft and comfortable and has more room overall, as the measurements would suggest. The Studio is slightly darker in color and harder finished with longer sleeves -- probably a more classic fitting Type II. The Studio is 15 oz. while the Sugar Cane is a touch lighter weight, but similar.

$385! + shipping. wasn't expecting it to be priced quite as high. as much as I love Roy going to have to pass - exchange rate means this one would work out almost £340 with the shipping, that's just to stratospheric for me right now. shame as it looks v. nice.
cool_hand,
I was hoping for a bit lower price too, especially since Roy's jeans are a relative bargain. But then my wife (bless her) says, "Don't you know that shirts are much harder to make than pants?" I didn't know this, but she's no doubt right.

Beautiful cotton and overall look b_F. Rise a touch low for me though at 27cm (10.6") on a size 34.

^ is this one cut wider than the blue chambray that Roy offered a few years ago, or the short-sleeve, red shirt at Self Edge a while back?

New shirt is completely bananas in the jungle style. I'm getting one for sure.
... the jungle style! Who can resist?

^ great pic! Looking at the trim build of Hayashi-san, I'm beginning to understand why the hips of the 710 are fairly trim ;-)

Anyone have experience with the 15.5 oz. XX denim vs. the banner denim over time (e.g., durability, softness/feel, fades)? Prefer one or the other?
0 -
^ that's pretty much what I was wondering garden gnomes. Of course, the Fullcount banner denim stretches as much as any I know, so even a little more shrinkage might be compensated by FC stretch ;-)

I have a pair of brand new (with tags) Fullcount 1101XX in size 34 ('one wash' not raw). Bought these before realizing I'm a size 33. For those not familiar with the FC XX denim, it's 15.5 oz., slightly heavier and darker than the Fullcount banner denim.
$175 shipped CONUS. Prefer USA sale but will consider international if these don't move quickly and buyer is willing to pay extra shipping.
Measurements available, as needed.
Thanks,
John

^ yes setterman, something I hadn't considered ....

Quick question and shameless plug:
Just bought a pair of one-wash FC1101 in size 33 that fit well. Would you soak or wash these before wearing or am I good to go with the wash from the factory?
Let me know if you're looking for a brand new pair of one-wash 1101XX in size 34 -- a touch too large in the waist for me. Had these prior to the 33 and now realize the sizing error.

nycsurger530,
How do the 50s compare to the 1101 and 0105 in terms of fit?
Thanks.

Not knowing if I'm a 34 or 36 in the 710 has definitely saved me some money! Where's the 35? ;-)

#1 Ooe Yofukuten 0A02 (perfect fit, great people/company)
#2 Warehouse 1105 LTD (perfect fit but with zipper and could be a hair longer)

Anyone have any experience with the D4383 Blue/Black denim jacket? Looks nice, not sure of weight or comfort/stiffness.
