hey sufu again,

so i suppose my screen name isn't exactly reflecting my latest and first post. in retrospect i knew i should have posted my question in this thread instead of the denim thread - ooops! i didn't have time to read the FH thread before asking my question as i was working all freakin weekend.

this was my original question:

"Hey Sufu,

First post here. Definitely a reader, though.

So, my question is what are differences between the F310 and the 3001's. I know that the 310 has a cotton/poly stitch, and that is a big difference - but I heard that although the fade on the 3001's is a little faster, the 310's hold up a little bit longer.

Basically, does anyone have any experiences with both of the denims? And if so, can you tell any other differences?

Much Appreciated!"

----pretty much the same question as this below:

after reading the answers to this question - it seems that i have pretty much got my answer: no real difference save the poly/cotton thread and it's durability. i had just wondered if anyone had a preference.

So - i apologize for getting off to a bad start and hope to get to a better one.

BTW - most of the replies were helpful save for a few that were a little, uh, different.

to clear up: i am a sufu reader, but i am still new a trying to figure all the odds and ends out. if i have the balls i may ask some questions i can't figure out -

thanks.

get the 1001

i dont see why anyone would favor the 310 over the 1001.... i have both

Hem those bitches.

[anthonyoj]

Hem those bitches.

As a dude who is almost 6 feet tall the opportunity to have such awesome stacks was one I had to take. I'm sure they won't be so excessive in a couple days when they settle some more.

[jobesjobes]

Those look mad anthonyoj. I am 6'3" and the opportunity to have such nice stacks is awesome! I had a pair but had to sell due to them being slightly to big but I think I am going to cop another pair because the denim is so nice! The stacks will look really nice after about 20 wears. Props to you!

retiring jawns too early is # superdenim mistake. when a jean is ready for retirement, it'll make you retire it, cause it'll be rendered unwearable. otherwise it's like a star halfback put on waivers/traded because he just turned 30

[Hendodo]

^^ lolz,

LT or Westbrook concept..

seriously though, my F380's wont be retired until maybe 2 yrs.. lov 'em

a lot of the seams are just torn up as of late but here's what i'll do, just for you. 1 month of EXTREMELY HARD wear. no driving, only biking or walking. i'll run in them rather than in my shorts. they only come off in the shower so i'll be sleeping in them.

i'm 100% serious.

[rmc]

I really wanna start wearing these again but i have an inner pocket rip on both ends, chainstitching coming loose, beginning back wallet pocket tear...so i mite have to slow down on these. I was wearing these everyday and I know these are gonna look dope wen im done wit these....gotta keep goin tho. Yo kiya....help me fix these tears so I can wear the sh*t outta these like i've been for the past year and 9 months. haha

FLATHEAD F380 since Janurary 7th, 2008

[Hendodo]

lookin great, dude!! will rep when i can.

cant wait for post wash pics

[The Andrew]

Does anyone have any pictures of the Flathead 5XXX denim fading?

[danisfake]

those f380's are lookin dope

[craiggg]

i've noticed my flatheads fading is going a sort of green colour which is weird, anybody else had this?

i'm thinking of getting my F310 tapered a little, sometimes the calf looks wider than the thigh... will the heavy denim pose a problem to some tailors or should they be fine with it, don't want them messing up my jeans.

[Osmosis Jones]

darn...another hole

man, i spent 3 hours doing repairs on the BSPs. patched and restitched the right backpocket, waist is stitched up and reinforced. crotch is completely redone and reinforced. left backpocket is fixed and reinforced.

can't be bothered to do anything else.

[Hendodo]

[Osmosis Jones]

i'll give you some denim scraps i have if we ever have that SFC meetup.

otherwise, ask kiya for some.

I've seen many pairs with a green tint to them.

They shouldn't pose a problem for a tailor that knows what they're doing.

lets see some pictures on the repair

did you happen to be riding a bike passing by starbucks around 430-5ish?

[inquire]

So I have been wondering since this morning if this shirt is a size too small.

I do plan on gaining a bit of weight in the near future..

should I stick with this or size up?

fh mint black - size 36

[LandoCal126]

Inquire,

I would definitely go a size up if you are planning on getting bigger. I bought the largest size (a 40 I think) and wish they had made a 42.

Would love to see someones mint shirt who has worn it in and the purple has faded in areas. Anyone?

[anthonyoj]

I would definitely go a size up, especially if you're planning on gaining weight.

[Hendodo]

i would size up 1 even if you arent planning on losing weight.
