so I got fed up with the low rise on my Somets and got rid of them. I had my eye on the BSPs for a long time and decided to go to SENY to check them out in person. I called earlier in the day to ask about a size 30 (which was available in the morning) but when I got to the store someone came from Philly to swoop up the 30's. There was still the 29's left so not all was lost. I tried on both the IH 301s and the BSP and it was a tough call between the two. I ended up getting the BSPs since I own many FH shirts already and have a love for the brand.

Since there's so many questions about sizing, I've decided to post some pics and measurements. Here's PRE SOAK fit pics:

Here's the measurements pre-soak.

Waist: 30" around

Front Rise: 9.75"

Back Rise: 13.75"

Thigh (right at crotch): 11"

Knee: 7.5"

Hem: 7.25"

Inseam: 39.5"

Outseam: 49.5"

These are drying as we speak after a 45 min hot/warm soak. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll fit significantly better after the soak.

Aww, but flat heads back pockets look amazing!

[anthonyoj]

MiniW - Those are going to be ridiculously tight after that soak.

I agree with anthony. I like the fit pre-soak...

[Vinneus]

lol size?????

[Vinneus]

if anyones interested... they are slightly worn 1001's sz.33. great price!

[Vinneus]

well.... unstitched pockets, evo just short of 3 months, 3 washes, pardon the wedgey.

[MiniW]

the pain... so much....

I managed to put these on while they are still 5% damp. It was a struggle but I got all the buttons buttoned up. Anyways I like the fit a lot better than before, and if I survive the first few wears then I'll be real happy.

Here's some pics:

POST SOAK measurements:

Waist: 28" (they are probably at least 29 now since I managed to get them on)

Front Rise: 9"

Back rise: 13.25"

Thigh: 10.5"

Knee: 7.5"

Hem: 6.75"

Inseam: 37"

Outseam: 47.5"

As I type this I realize that my fingers are all blue. Now I just need to get them hemmed.

Edit: just read your earlier post. MiniW- They don't look like they shrank that much (which in your case is a good thing it seems like, haha).

[thatslapz]

Being back at school for a month made my jeans filthy, especially the car wash the other day. And since I'm not about to pay 1.75 to wash these things when I could it for free at home, I just cold soaked them to get the surface dirt out. I should have some better pictures after a real machine wash in 2 or 3 weeks, maybe a month, depends when I decide to go home haha. But anyways, here's a couple teasers

[salaami]

daaamn, vinneus' combs are poppin' like fuck in just 3 mos. thatslapz' jeans just slapped the fuck outta somebody's FH

[kino]

stack 'em miniW!

[Vinneus]

thanks salaami... bad w/out the arcs? idk if i miss them or not....

[salaami]

imho with or without arcs are ok. it's all preference. the buddy lee avatar is dope

[thatslapz]

My arcs are just starting to come undone (after 13 months of hard wear, shits tough). It really is personal preference. I just think I would miss them if I took them out since they've been there for so long.

Nice fit!!! Don't worry, they will stretch. I wish mine fit after my boiling soak. Had to sell them.

[MiniW]

thanks for the comments, at 5'10", 37" inseam is crazy stacking, even more than Hedi Slmane would approve of I'll probably hem them to 34-35"

[Markmont]

^^^^ Can't lose with 35" imo. That's a good safe length. I stack with 35" and I'm only 5'7".

Soaked the 3001's, went TTS and was perfect fit pre-soak! Post-soak, kind of tight, it actually took me awhile to get them on. The weird thing is, the only difficult part was the waist. I've been wearing them for a good 3 hours now and they stretched to pre-soak width (waist) already, these jeans are really growing on me. Love the fit, love the rise, love the back pockets, definitely sticking with these for awhile.

[klimek135]

Great fit MiniW, once they stretch, they'll be perfect.

[JSFU]

anyone know how much the f380 denim stretches?

[Flash]

should streach back out to taged size

[JSFU]

should streach back out to taged size

so no more than that? i have a fear of denim stretching now after my last pair stretched sooo much i have to keep soaking them to get the ideal fit.
