The Flat Head

[suicide]

hendodo is in MILBRAE? you ever touge down on one of those streets from 280 to el camino real?

also, anybody with the BSPs notice that the legs are basically rotated to one side? I'll try to explain it a little more. basically, it's like the cuffs of my jeans are rotated clockwise so that the selvage on the left leg is rotated towards the front of my foot rather than perfectly on my ankle. Then the selvage on my right left is rotated towards my heel instead of my toes.

this is common and not unique to the BSP's.

yups millbrae. never touged, but ive biked down b4. i swear , you can hit 50-60 easily going down one of those hills. first time i went down, i underestimated the steepness, and got a little apprehensive.

I think your BSP's have some major legtwist.

[sidneylo]

Every raw jean will have leg twist to a certain degree. For certain, every jean will have leg twist on the left leg. Check your jeans.

what's the popular opinion on going true to size in 3001? anyone done it? pictures?

True to size 3001s

these were SUPER tight in the waist but in 2 months of wear they've stretched to just "tight". The zipper is somewhat of an issue but its not too bad. The big problem area as someone mentioned is the thighs. If you have huge thighs consider sizing up. Hope that helps

[Osmosis Jones]

Yeah, I noticed it. Thanks guys.

You gotta touge it! I've hit almost 100mph going down in a miata before we hit El Camino.

Should I have these 310 chainstitch hemmed or leave them as is? I just have huge case of knee flair. Opinions?

^ I'd say leave them as they are. they look good. No hem

[mrchariybrown]

leave them as they are. after a bit of wear the knee flare will disappear as the stacking falls and becomes more compressed.

[Guest Ark Sakura]

Thanks for the feedback

I think I will probably leave them as is and wait for them to settle down.

Nice boots, what are they? good fit too

[Guest Ark Sakura]

I got those shoes in Italy from a small shoemaker's shop for about $125. There's no name or brand on them. They're kind of like a variation on classic doc martens duty shoes, but with a really dark oxblood.

[mr.invincible]

or you can just cuff them higher. the selvage is pretty important.

do fh1001s come in sz 27?

[gonegonegone]

FH 1001 Sz 32 brand new for sale, check my signature.

Dumb question, sure it was answered in here before, but I can't be arsed to go through 280 pages, and I was just wondering:..

What's the difference between the standard 3001 FHs and the limited ones (besides the patch, of course)?..

Thanks.

[kiya]

do fh1001s come in sz 27?

You don't need a size 27, we've yet to find anybody that needs anything smaller than a size 28. So unless you wear a size 26 or so in non-Japanese jeans, you're a 28 in the 1001.

Update on my BSPs.

FH SE05BSP 5.5 months of wear

Just dried from a soak.

[Guest Ark Sakura]

Nice, pics Pan. I'll bet they dried pretty fast in this heatwave.

[danisfake]

nice BSP's, I hope mine turn out like that.

[michaelscott]

what are people's opinions on going tts with bsps?

anyone have any experience with it? i know that it all differs depending on body type and all that, so was wondering if it worked out for them.

fit pics would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

This isn't exactly your question but I think it's relevant: My experience with sizing up 1 with 05bsps is that I had to hotsoak them three times in boiling water and hot dry them to get them to fit. I probably lost quite a bit of indigo and the leather patch is ruined, but they fit great after all that and i'll never have to worry about shrinking. That said, if I had to do it again, I'd go TTS. But that's my body type and also my real true size is like 32.5 so I'm in between and went with 34. YMMV Kiya recommends sizing up 1.

I know this is an old debate, but I'm a true believer in the "new" FH arcs....they look so good with ass fades as proven with the above pictures...

[halberdklown]

^ i most definitely agree
