  1. I have a pair of PBJ 007 and 013 in 31, but went for a 30 1109xx.

    I've only soaked them, and I reckon they'll shrink a bit more. I think I could have got into a 29, but like you say, you probably risk not being able to wear them again after a couple of hot washes.

     

    I actually just had another pair arrive on Friday from Denimio. Only ordered them on Monday night.

     

    Could you make measurements of your 1109xx W30 ? Waist. Thigh , knee, hem...

    I'm wearing 3sixteen st-100x W31 but now I am looking for a replacement

  2. Dmitry, the 15.5 oz. XX is darker than the 13.7 oz. FC denim.  I can't really comment on the fading properties given that both pairs are fairly new.  While the XX denim is a bit darker, it's worth remembering that even the 13.7 oz. is fairly dark and neither the 15.5 or 13.7 oz. is especially blue, say compared to Warehouse (800) or Iron Heart (UHR).  The strength of the 13.7 oz. FC denim is its softness and pliability.  That said, I really like the heavier 15.5 oz. XX denim too and it is also quite soft.  In general, FC denim is stretchy, much more so than Cone Mills, for example.  So despite the shrinkage you'll get on raw jeans, the denim will stretch back to and probably beyond original measurements.

     

    Thank you! I Is FC denim a bit darker than Warehouse (800) or Iron Heart (UHR)?

  3. Ed, if the indigo and denim on your signet FC jeans are as good as you say, they must really be something.  Though I have more jeans than I need, I have to say that the standard 13.7 oz. FC denim on my 1101 is incredibly soft and comfortable and the XX denim is an excellent variation -- still soft but more substantial.  Based on comfort alone, FC is tough to beat.

     

    JohnM, I just choose FC 1109 in 13.7oz denim vs 15.5oz.

    15.5oz denim has a darker color?  These jeans will a different fading?

  4. unbelievable how dark they still are, these will yield such a great contrast over time, and the texture of the XX denim is really amazing! thanks

     

     

     

    yo mate,

    measure the real waistband of your jeans like BiG does, then look at BiGs sizecharts for the 1109xx for yourself, and then ask us again to double check.

    a size 31 worn, washed, worn, whatever, doesnt mean much at all!

     

    My size non wash was 32" (81.3cm), after wash and wearing 2 years -  33" (84cm).
