Looking good Keat!

 

I've got my seven-month update on my 1001s coming at the end of this month.

[saintkeat]

Hehe the fight continues Mr RocknRollla!

I saw two movies here from tfh production. I cannot seem to find them. Anyone got the URL?

Sharing some evo pics of The Flat Head Pioneer series denim worn for 10 months.

You can really appreciate the vertical fade patterns synonymous with this fabric. These jeans have their original hem.

Those are awesome, I really should wear my 2111's more.

[Cold Summer]

Wow those look good - those are Matt0's jeans from a few pages back, though these photos are a lot better than the old ones.  That's pretty much a perfect-looking pair of jeans IMO.

We did a trade. It really helps having a few pieces of aged denim in the store to show our customers some real evo. I agree this pair for me personally is perfect. They have reached that sweet point between well-aged and trashed.

Beautiful.  I like in particular the comparison pic showing the new pair against the worn pair.

Probably worn these for another month since my last update. Been wearing my SG2109 and SExI08BK shorts (jorts) since the California heat has been rearing its head. Fucking love this denim though... Right front pocket is about to explode (after numerous repairs) so once they do, will be hot washing again and getting SE to work their magic.

 

 

[Cold Summer]

Love the contrast and texture on that last shot.  Some of the best BSPs I've seen.

[GermanBitch]

Bought a pair of Balder's soaked them for about 20 minutes. Breaking in raw denim is a bitch though. Haven't figured out how to post pics.

[itsbenhere]

As said a hundred times, be careful with subsequent washes.  Unless the inseam is at 33", they're going to keep shrinking.

[Cold Summer]

Yeah if all you did was a twenty-minute soak there's going to be a lot more shrink left in those.

The paisley bros

Love the subtle details and differences of these shirts

[spython]

due for repairs. have been temporarily retired until I can get them up to SF.

cheers!

[Cold Summer]

Those look awesome, it's great to see a lot of nice FH evo in the past week or so.

 

What's the estimated wear/wash time on those?

[spython]

I will try to post more detailed photos later this week. I've gained weight since purchasing them and the fit is.. nowhere close to how they started out. Enjoying the larger thighs on my SG 3109s!

 

Cold Summer - I purchased these in July of 2011. Did not wear them much until I had them tapered (knee down), I would say they are at 2 years of wear and ~8 washes. 

[johnny5]

Those SExFHxRJB look amazing. I would love a pair of 103BSPs if it wasn't for the ridiculously low 9-inch pre-soak rise. 

[johnny5]

Whoah. Anyone know anything about this? 

 

Looks like a 14 oz., left hand twill, 100% zimbabwe RJB/FH collab is in the works? 

 

Very tempting, though hard to know what the fit will be like, looks slim tapered like the 3002? Sizing in Flat Head or RJB seems to always be TTS so I may take a flyer on them.

[Broark]

Those do look awesome, I'd be interested if it was more along the lines of the 3012.

Those arcs look crazy!

[Cold Summer]

I actually wore the prototype pair for those jeans for a few days, they're pretty interesting.  The fit is the same as the D109/D006, it's a slim tapered fit that's different from the 3002, the rise is a little bit longer and the shape of the leg is a more gradual taper than previous ST cuts. 

 

Mine had the same 14 oz. Zimbabwe cotton as my RJB D105s, though.  I'm curious as to whether the left-hand twill version is basically the same thing, or if it's a different weave.

[Broark]

Interesting, most likely too slim for me by the sounds of it.

I'm always into special releases though!

[johnny5]

Strange too, because I always thought the "FXR" series used Flat Head's pioneer denim, not RJB's zimbabwe denim, and just had RJB fixings. I guess this is an exception? 

[Cold Summer]

Yeah, the previous FXR models were FH denim.  Those ones were based on Flat Head models (hence 3001FXR) while this one is based on an RJB model (the D109) so it's made with the RJB fabric.  I guess it just depends on whether a particular FXR model is based on a Flat Head or RJB model.

[Broark]

Finally got one of the FH bracelets, love it!

[Kwaker]

I've got the single-strand in black and natural.

I really like the swelled ends ... the 3:16/SE version pales in comparison.

[Cold Summer]

Update on my 1001s: Seven months, three washes.  The colors on these pictures are a lot better than last month's update, these are pretty much true to life.

Nice progress shots Kyle!

[reallypeacedoff]

Looking great Kyle!

 

Just washed mine again this morning, letting them hang dry while at work...
