The Flat Head

[dino might]

Dino why did you end up selling the 4001's?

really been wanting the perfect black jean for years now. found one i was happy with before i got all snobby and shit. i thought i had maybe found them with the 4001, i indeed would have.. if only the stiching was all black as well. i realise want black black.

For those waiting.. far too long.. we finally got our restock of the F310 and F380:

[mikeinthefuture]

JUST ordered a pair of F310's. I'll post some pics pre-soak/post-soak with measurements. I CANT wait for these puppies!

[Echotheory]

So I just got my F380's in the mail yesterday.

Did my first hot soak while wearing them and they shrunk up nicely. Harder than hell to button up right now but I'm sure they'll stretch.

My one concern right now is the amount of bunching right at the knee. Is there anything I can do about this now? Or is this something that will eventually work itself out.

[midnight]

It should eventually even out as you wear them. Don't worry about it much.

[skistar]

so 2.5 mo in my F310's have stretched to fit better than I ever could have dreamed and the shades of blue coming through are out of this world. I'm a little torn through because I don't want my combs to crack but I also want all my creases to to remain where they have set.

what's my best bet? another soak? hot or cold? when should I soak?

thnks ahead of time FH experts...

If you soaked them when you first got them I don't think you should have to worry about your creases moving. If you are that worried about it do a cold soak. If it were me though I would just keep on wearing them, because having rips in your combs is pretty normal, I would wait until the stitch is coming undone or something along those lines..

[skistar]

well I've got stitches coming undone on the back pocket and also the seam where the 4 parts come together between the pockets on the back. Nothing major, and they don't need to be fixed anytime soon but I am doing some damage. I think I'll hold out for a while though, everyones just been saying how these things turn out so much better if they have early contact with water.

I'm going to stop thinking so much though and just wear my jeans, I'll soak em when people start complaining about my pants smelling, that seems to have been a good guideline for me so far.

That's the spirit!

My F380s are behaving like suede...kinda weird/cool

[Wesley Pipes]

^Please elaborate on that ish.

[midnight]

Probably something about the hairyness of the denim and how pushing it in one direction creates a certain color streak while pulling it in the other direction creates a different one. Maybe? Happened to me on my seXfh's...

[Broken Dam]

hey, just bought some 310s. Is the general consensus around here to do a hot soak right away, then leave them for awhile? Also, how should they fit pre-soak so I know they will eventually fit right?

[Knugget]

No. They will always fit a tad bit slimmer than pre-soak. You should do a soak, just to get the shrinkage out of the way and other reasons that you probably don't care for.

[jays978]

^Please elaborate on that ish.

The denim is still hairy but on it's way to not being, and if i sway the fabric one way with my fingers, it has the characteristics of suede where the color shade darkens/lightens.

I missed out on the SExFH's but came across the 1001's which appear to be similar cut to the 3001 but with a button fly. does anyone have any experience with these. I read through this entire thread and did a search but could not find anything.

Thanks for the help

[jiomitori]

Poly/cotton thread? 3001 or 310 shaped back pockets?

Kiya, you're amazing.

3001 shaped pockets, indigo arcuates, cotton poly-core thread.

[cure]

When you say "released this year" are we safe to say not within the next 4 months? I'd hate to spend my money on a pair now and not have enough for the new cut.
