The Flat Head 3001


fadeaway

Recommended Posts

At some point in the past 20-ish hours the outseam knee stiching exploded a bit.

How urgent is this? Do I need to get them repaired right away and stop wearing for a bit or can I keep going a while longer?

Also, where to take these in NYC? 45rpm only repairs their own jeans now. Just a good regular non-denim-specialist tailor?

11.5 months one soak one wash no detergent by the way. Color is pretty off too, blanket in the background should be ugly military type green.

I have learned the error of my ways. Let us be sensitive in this moment of mourned youth and naivity I am going through a rough time right now.

you don't want to see the cracking behind the knees...

I feel you kidkorea, but only for a couple of days. I have grown to like the hairyness and plus, it died a bit when I wore it more and more. The thing I like about is the texture and feel of it and you put that in comparison with nudies jeans, which i have, they feel alot stronger.

those arent f3001...

youre the same user who posted and said it was f380s!

i've just had these delivered... i'm a bit of a n00b but compared to my nudies that i have i've never felt denim so stiff.. i put them on and couldnt cross my legs or pull my leg up so my heel was touching my butt... even though my grim tims are much slimmer so it can't be the tightness thats restricting the movement, just the stiffness suly.. which will soften up i hope????

other than that, i love the fit on them :D i'll get pics later, i think soaking them down a little would make them pretty much how i want them, although i hope the waist doesnt tighten up too much more..

They're going to be pretty stiff for a while, but as you wear them they'll soften up. Keep in mind they will never become so soft that they will feel like regular gap jeans or something. Nice upgrade from the nudies to flat heads, btw.

i'm pretty happy wth how it is now, the waist if shrunk would prove to be a challenge to get into i reckon, its pretty perfect at th moment, but i'm hoping there is room for stretch there as i ike to wear them quite low also.

the legs are how i want them, the thighs look massive on the pics (i only have tiny thighs) but i didn't notice this off pis, the hem could do with being a bit narrower, but i knew that when i ought the anyway.

how long do you think i should soak them for and how warm the water, because i don't want mega shrinkage?? cheers...

and daft question, but could i soak them however, and hen soak below he knee in super hot water to reduce the hem a little more than the rest??

Craig..

Turn them inside out, soak them in cold water for 15 minutes then let them air dry and you're done.

Yeah, i was just a little too late on the SExFH

buttonman these are a sizze 28 and i'm normally a size 28... no way hould these be sized down are my initial thoughts. (lot of demand for the sexfh in a 28.. can you sort something out kiya :P )

soaked them now and wearing them.. they feel like cardboard haha.. lot lot different to the nudies i'm used to.
