Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in buying a pair of F380s. I was just wondering how they fit. Is this the baggier fit in the line? Do they fit similar to the APC Rescues? Currently I'm just rocking a pair of Levi 501's and 505's.

My waist is about a 33. What tagged size would fit me comfortably? I wear my jean a little baggier than most people on sf. Thanks in advance.

That's a damn good fit. Are you sagging at all? If you can fill the ass more, they'd be spot on.

Yeah I think it would be similar to Rescues. I think a tagged 33 or 34 would be perfect. Just look at the measurement charts on self edge and just keep in mind the waist will shrink 1" or so, and stretch back out.

crosspost from the evo thread

f310 ~10 months. not worn very hard as you can tell.

can't seem to get a good full shot indoors even with outdoor lighting.

colour and contrast are pretty accurate.

[khoiphan92]

think ill do it one every week or so now

[thatslapz]

Hello people,

I am pretty new to Flat Head and after searching in this thread I could not find an answer to this question...

For F380, what is the sizing advice?

[.API.]

true to size unless you have legs like ronnie coleman.

S05BSP (38) fit pics (no soak):

edit: moved from self edge x flat head thread (sorry, my mistake!)

edit:

pre soak measurements: W37 L41

post soak measurements: W35.5-36 L39

[bdotwells]

you can't be serious about that pic! :eek:

haha obviously.

[Turntabloid]

haha obviously.

it is frightening - one way or the other!

[craiggg]

i've had my BSP hemmed to a 37 but have still underestimated the size of my legs... i need them to be about a 32-34 after soak... will they reach this??

[sidneylo]

If you soak the hem at the hottest temperature you can manage, you'll get ~34" at most.

is it true that 1XXX FH denim stretches more than 1inch in the waste over time?

any first hand experiences?

[YIKES]

I think it does... it's the same denim used on the SEXFH05 and it stretches the waist pretty good.

My 1001s stretched from 29" (post soak) to 32" within about 2 weeks of wear.

exactly what I wanted to hear!

thanks clou and yikes!

it will be painful, but 2 weeks should be ok ...

They will stretch like fuck. I may suggest sizing down one from your usual flat head size.

here is the deal:

i am usually buying tagged 36, so that after a soak the denim is tight, but not too tight (comfy style) and then stretches to a 37+.

the 1001 in a 36 is already tight before soak (still on the ok side, but in fact immediately wearable). after the soak it will be tight, up to 'i cannot button the last one to two buttons'.

nevertheless, a 38 in a 1001 will leave me again with an already comfy fit directly after soak, stretching until it is not a real (sufu) slim fit anymore.

despite that, my legs and backyard are not even filling a 36 usually!

so i guess, based on what you guys just posted, my 1001 tagged 36 will be my first (painful) sufu experience in denim!

i just was not sure, whether it will stretch about 2 inches, after some initial wear. otherwise i would probably never fit in - just too lazy to get on a diet for a single pair of jeans

[midnight]

my size 29 1001's were fine in the waist post soak, a big snug, but after less than a week the waist stretched 3 inches to the point where the jean is almost unwearable. The top block of these is so much looser than my 4001's it's ridiculous. Shoulve sized down.

[Turntabloid]

hey,

could be wearing them under the shower be a good substitute for soaking?

i do not have a bathtub, but i can have the water temperature quite accuratly adjusted in my shower!

20 minutes by 30 degrees celsius?

[dnm_dnmz]

hey turntabloid

i just curious

is that your waist size 38 or the length was 38?

if your waist size then, what size did you pick for your skulls

thanks

[Turntabloid]

my waist is 37+. skull 5010xx is tagged 36 and is on the perfect-to-comfy side.

after the month of wear it is bound to become too loose ...

i will measure it tomorrow and pm you!
