I just finished a 45 minutes hothothot soaking my new F310 true to size and daaaamn it literally took me ten minutes of fighting to get the button done up. I'm gonna have to take them off to let them air dry while I sleep. Hope I can get em back on in the morning. lol

My thumbs will probably have blisters tomorrow.

A bit of shameless self promotion; if anyone's got a pair of either F380s,

F350s, 3008s or 3005s (in size 30,) and is looking for a slimmer pair of jeans, I've got a pair of F310s (in size 30) that I'd like to trade.

these 310 are the shit! such a killer cut and fit.

my only peeve is the zipper...i'm used to buttons (I opted for the 310 vs the 1001 because of the poly stitching). Also, like some people mentioned, the zip sort of wants to fall down, but it won't if you pull the zipper all the way up and tuck it under the fold. Maybe the fact that I'm wearing a belt helps...

I think Flat Head is my favorite brand right now. Their jeans and shirts just kill. I like how they use the vintage 50s-early60s Fender spaghetti logo font http://www.fender.de/images_cms/germany/logos/Spaghetti-Logo_WEB.gif

the zipper going down? :-/

It's an amazing conversation starter.

3001, True to size, pre-soak

[gonegonegone]

i think you should size up 1.

[mr.invincible]

^ those look like a good fit pre-soak, but i fear its going to get really tight on you after soak. Lets see some post-soak fit pics and then a weeks wear to see how much it stretched.

[kiya]

amnesiac, you need one size up... don't soak those, exchange them for a size up.

1001's 7 months

[mr.invincible]

if you can see the threads of the outerseams, does that mean i should size up one lol ?

[jjkchung]

slapz, coming along nicely

[Hendodo]

keep it up slapz . any washes yet??

[amnesiac]

I went ahead and soaked them anyways, one because i didn't check back here to see advice (Not the best decision), two becuase i did have a decent amount of room in the waist, about an inch. I did a luke warm soak and they they fit about how I would like them to (it was pretty easy to get them on) maybe a little on the tight side. I'm gonna stick with em. And Im hoping once the denim softens up with some wear the fit will look better, it's extremely stiff right now.

i think the fit looks great; a really ideal slim fit from me. keep it keep it

+1. You had me worried because my unsoaked 1001's fit the same as your 3001's, but your post-soak fit is exactly the fit I want.

Thanks, I did 1 hand wash in cold water with woolbrite at 5 months. I'll probably do another soon.

Custom sized, great construction, and fast shipping for a fantastic price. I couldn't be happier with it.

1001's around 8 months.

I'll try to get some better pictures soon.

I wonder if 310s have a zipper issue because zippers don't shrink with the jeans.

[thingymajig]

I wonder why raw jeans have zippers, especially if the jeans are unsanforized. Surely buttons would work out more convienient for all?

[Guest Ark Sakura]

I'm sure that's the problem. It's a minor design flaw in an otherwise perfect jean. I'll wear these for a year and then get a pair of the 1001.

[denimstars]

I agree, i am looking at the 1001s as my next project. I wonder when the restock is coming in...

[kiya]

That's why on the SE05BSP we chose to have it a button-fly.

I wonder if 310s have a zipper issue because zippers don't shrink with the jeans.

My 4001s have a zipper and it works fine. They shrunk a lot too after the initial soak. Once I got used to actually pressing the zipper down to make it lock, they haven't come unzipped once.

[gonegonegone]

if you didn't size down that's not a problem i guess.

but i sized down 1 and even though i used the zipper locker, they have come unzipped every 10 minutes...

Official size advice: One up or true to size. (lol just playing devil's advocate)
