All this talk about true waist, true to size... is getting me a bit confused. First off, how do you measure your true waist? Is it where you normally wear your jeans or somewhere higher/lower? Would like to know because I'm thinking about buying a pair of FH3010. If I measure where I wear my current jeans (APC Cures 31) it measures about a 33.5, so I'm guessing I just get a 33 in FH, do a soak, lose maybe an inch in the waist (so 33) and they'll stretch a bit to about a 34 right?

Thanks for the help

Your waist size is measured about 2-3 cm below you navel. I you go true to size then measure the "area" where you normally wear you jeans.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the clarity, so I measure a true waist 33, thinking I'm just gonna size up to a 34 seeing these shrink quite a bit and apparently don't stretch that much. I'm going for a Sidneylo fit (probably won't be identical because his are a 29) but he sized up one so yeah. Anyone who has a reason for me to get a 33, I'm all ears.

Also after looking on the selfedge size chart I'm wondering how they measure the thigh, is that supposed to be doubled?

[flex_flEx]

if its something like 12 inches, then yes, double that and thats the thigh measure

All right last post, could have put it all together in one but whatever. I'll just quickly post my stats; 6' 155-160 pounds and a 33 inch natural waist (measured 2-3 inch below navel). I'm kind of stuck between a 33 and 34. Reading this thread I'm hearing different things, some say true to size, some say size up. Kiya himself says these don't stretch all that much so perhaps a 33 would be a bit tight for my liking post soak. If anyone can chime in on the 33vs34, I know Mr. 3001 says size up but still..

Quick question about the thighs seeing these measure about 24 inches in the thighs (doubling the 12 measurement from selfedge). I measure around 20/21 inches at the thickest so will I be allright after a soak or will the thighs be too wide?

Thanks, and Kiya you can be expecting a new order soon

I'm 6'2" and 185 and I usually wear a 33 but sized up to 34 in these. My thighs are bigger too (probably 11.5-12) so I think you should get 33s. Mine were tight as shit at first but as Mr3001 says, ALL DENIM STRETCHES. Recent fit pics in the FH 3001 thread

FH 1001 size 32/36 which is my true waist size

pre soak

post soak (3hrs in the hottest water available from the tap)

edit: totally speechless about lamb.'s F310, amazing contrast

Mich, that's a nice fit and the tatoo is crazy also.

Why haven't these been mentioned on superfuture before? Is this the same cut as the 3001 with a button fly?

[Mich]

Yes they are, and they are made of different denim, 16oz.

I just don't like zip fly's on jeans, so that's the main reason for getting these over the 3001.

[Wesley Pipes]

^no homo?!

mostly no homo, but mich where did you get them from?

I also see that you used a seam ripper. I didn't even notice in the second shot.

[midnight]

mmm sounds ridiculously appealing. May have to buy a pair. Nice fit too

[skistar]

sweet... midnight is here too, this is a pretty cool page so far.

kinda rad/rare to have have a single red post on this page!

maybe if everyone cops these we wont ever have to tell anyone about the zipper lock ever again? I'm pro 1001.

I wish my 310's were 16oz

^always a great choice too. I wish my 310's were slightly tapered as well.

perfect timing. Was gonna wait for a pair of 3001, but I will get these.

Speaking of, does anyone know if this 16oz denim really fades the same way as the 3XXX denim from the 310s? I'm assuming this 1001 denim is the same denim used in the SExFH which is advertised as having the same fading properties as the 3XXX.

I've had this question for bit but didn't know about the 1001 and its too soon to tell with the SExFHs it seems.

Sounds great, do you think they will make these in a 27, and if so will you be carrying them?

28 to 36..

We've never found anybody that needed a 27 3001. Ever.

They shrink like crazy, there's no way you'd need a 27...

^ Is this the same cut as the SExFH, but just with their standard-weight denim, and non-yo yo adornments?

Yes and no..

The waist runs the same as the 3001, so +1" from tagged size.. it has the yoyo themed tag.. it's not the identical pattern, it's a new slim fitting jean with a taper.

[themexican]

Mitch beat me to it

i just picked up a pair as well, price was about $300 through proxy. Bought size 32 as well (true to size)

Measurements before/ after hot soak (1 hour)

waist- 17/ 15.5

inseam- 38/ 34.5

rise front- 10/ 9.5

rise back- 14/ 13.5

thigh- 12/ 11.25

knee- 8.5/ 8

hem- 8.5 / 8

seems pretty close to the 3001's but in 16 oz denim and button fly.

[salaami]

lamb just sold a shitload of FH denim...

[Casper]

Mich how did they magically turn into the old style arcs in the 4th pic? or is that a totally different pair of jeans?

[Yardsale]

wow good things come to those who wait! can't wait for the tapered FH

[opethrapture]

They fit you very nice indeed Mich!!

[ADDIC]

Kiya, do you have an estimate of the FH in Sep? Need to know how much not to spend until then.
