    Full Count Denim Thread

    my FC1108 , bought in 2018 (i.e. previous model, current model is FC1108-2019). Thanks to @beautiful_FrEaK for his article in Indigoshrimp that helped me select this pair. https://indigoshrimp.wordpress.com/2017/03/06/full-count-1108-review-by-beautiful_freak/ Here is an update on the progress. FC is not only one of the most comfortable Japanese denim pair but also fades nicely in vintage way. numerous washes and hundreds of wears. I bought another FC1108 (2019 model) in Dec 2021. Consistent use of cellphone in right front pocket and wallet in one of the back pockets helped create a nice character in fading. One of the best thing in pre 2019 model is use of multi color thread in different areas such as arcuate, back pockets, inseam, belt loops, etc. Also different thread counts in different area and stitches per inch, creating marvelous user experience when stitching is critically noticed. Thread used in inseam is yellowish green in color. Its color, thread count and stiches per inch used, all these three features creates an amazing looks on indigo, I don't experience such level of beauty in my other pairs of FC or other brands [please see the last picture of this post] also, please accept apologies for low quality iPhone photos, real pair is much more marvelous strong roping and train tracks: whiskers, faded belt loops , patina on rivets pocket blown out, leather patch, arcuate were part of pre-2019 FC1108 model, fine stiches on back pockets (i.e. more stitches per inch than current model) : honeycombs though not much prominent but noticeable and looks nice inseam stitching

    What about Jeans Jackets ....

    Sleeves width is slim including sleeve opening, giving a modern look. I have a little belly tummy , so body width at 2nd last button was important factor while deciding on sizing. Here are the actual measurements "when new" in CMs of size 40: Chest (pit to pit): 53.5 Shoulder: 47 Sleeve Length: 60.5 Width at 2nd last button: 47.5 Width at 3rd last button: 49 Sleeve opening: 10.5 Body length: 61.5 Hem Width 46.5 After using the jacket for a few days, I notice that 2nd last button width now is 48.5cm and hem width is 47.5cm (both increased 1 cm after use)

    What about Jeans Jackets ....

    Here is my new TFH Jacket, Type III The construction is clean, slim towards waist, custom buttons, all details and quality what you can expect from THF. I bought size 40. I am extremely thankful to all for feedback and input here. A little bit tight at tummy when 2nd last button is buttoned up. As this is one-washed so expect it will stretch out after some use. I will try to avoid hot washes in future (only cold wash when needed).

    After Use Initial waist was tight and difficult to wear, but quickly it stretched back Waist 90cm (stretched back not completely , maybe later on, non wash width was 91cm) Knee 24.5 (0.5 increased after initial soak / wash state, as knee also a pressure point) Inseam 79 (though after wash it was 78, maybe stretched as legs are relatively wide, so pressure is put on inseam length) (so I should have either gone for 83m or 84cm in raw state to achieve 77cm) Jeans constructions is immaculate and impressive, greenish yellow thread, hardware proportions not too heavy neither feel weak, leather patch feels like silk, light denim weight to use all year round. Perfect example of couple dedication in their work and it is about how they taking care of limited raw denim community I compared OA01XX with my FC1108 (size 35), which I have been using for almost a year. 1 cm leg opening and 0.5cm knee is wider in OA, remaining points seem similar. In Non Wash state OA01XX was light greyish in color. After wash it appeared as Indigo towards greyish tone. During 1st wear, I noticed soft, as wider legs so it was extremely comfortable. Let's see how this new fabric evolves Lastly: sorry for posting low quality pictures , take from iphone

    After Wash Waist 85 (-6) FR 31 (-1) Thigh 32 (-0.5) Knee 24 (-2) LO 22.5 (-1.5) Inseam 78 (-7 not -8 as desired) Picture of hot soak another pic is for an unwanted crease which was developed during hot soak, in order to keep dipping into hot water I folded one inseam and put some weight for short time, (behind knee, calf area), the picture taken after use of 5 hours, the crease is still visible [so guys extra care when washing or soaking)

    My new purchase, OA01XX, size 36 Hemmed to 85cm , I was told 8cm shrinkage to achieve 77cm (the desired length after wash). I achieved 78cm after hot soak and initial wash. Received below washing instructions from OA. Thanks for their support. ********************************************************************************** <How to 1st wash your jeans in OA method > 1. Close all the Button of the jeans 2. Soak in 40°C (104°F) water for 1 hour 60°C is too hot. The leather patch may shrink too much, and the waist to shrink too much. 3. Machine wash in cold water, No laundry detergent and softener. 4. Dry in the sun (don’t use dryer. Too much shrinkage. ) We think your jeans is going to shrink perfectly 2 sizes in this OA method! <Recommendation for the second wash> Don't wash it too much for the first 30 times wearing. After then It is important that you get a moderate washing. If you keep wearing it for a long time without washing, it’s going to reduce the life of your jeans! Don’t be so nervous for washing! ************************************************************************************************************************************************** As I couldn't achieve and maintain 40C during initial hot soak, so rather than "cold wash" as 2nd step, I choose "hot wash" 40C, without detergent and spin. After washing, put into sunlight for 4 hours and later wore today for 5 hours.

    Warehouse

    whether Warehouse 1001xx (the flagship) model is based on1947 cut or it based on other year model? Also, "Warehouse & Co. Duck Digger Lot. 1001XX 13.5oz Jean" has the same cut like 1001xx? or it has some features from 1001XX but cut is different? By Dick Digger, I understood that it has addition of arcuate only
