Osaka showdown

Lookin really nice mate

[oomslokop]

fc 1108 (obvious). weekender, so no real evo to speak of.

except maybe for this cuff mark (was double cuff, now triple, too lazy to hem):

bought this july last year, but only just now discovered this stamp :

just a note on sizing. this is a 32 and im a true 33. waist actually measured almost 35 raw. washed it for the first time after the initial warmish soak a couple of weeks ago and it got pretty tight but stretched out to almost loose in the waist/hip in no time. très comfortable this jeans!

nice to see your pair. as I wear the 66XX I'm not sure if i should replace my XX with the 66XX...or better: I just wear both and post them here

Completely up to you mate

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So here we go. Denime 66XX (new) after 2 weeks of wear. Fit update

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Guys, where are you?! Summertime!

[setterman]

Update on Warehouse 15th Anniversary 1001XX and #700. Last washed the 1001XX back in early January. Been worn once or twice a week since then. #700 was purchased in early February. They are the one wash version, plus I washed them once more before wearing to make sure all shrinkage was out of them. Was planning on washing them this month, but probably won't wash them before July. They've been worn four days a week on average. With summer's heat and humidity, either pair of Warehouse will probably only be worn when the predicted high temp is less than 75 degrees. Will wear LVC 37s or 66 in warmer weather.

Nice Setterman, did you get any further shrinkage from the one-wash 700s?

[setterman]

a little bit. IIRC, the biggest change was close to an inch in inseam. everything else was small (1/2" or less).

Nice update , still wearing my fc's but not much to show ill take a few pics tomorrow if the weather is good

DD108 @ 110 days; 2 hand washes

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My pair after...well..maybe 6 or 7 weeks of wear

[setterman]

couple pictures of my 700s as they were airing out last night. gave them a light wash back in mid July, been wearing 2 or 3 days a week since then. Weather is going to turn by the end of the month, and my 700s and new LVC 44s are going to split daily wear over the winter.

Took some full length pictures of the 700s and 1001XX last night. 700s got their third wash back in July (2 by me, 1 by the factory) and the 1001XX were last washed back in late June. 700s have been getting three or four days a week wear since then, 1001XX once or twice a week. When October hits, by 700s and new LVC '44s will be splitting daily wear and the other jeans I've been wearing this summer will be put away for most of the winter.

Those 1001's look great , love the colour

Ill take some pics of my 1108's sometime this week

[OkayamaDenim]

Last month, we had the opportunity to sit down with Mikiharu Tsujita (Head designer/Founder of Fullcount) and talk about the roots of denim in Japan and the progression and change in demand for these products over time. Being a part of the original Osaka 5, Mr. Tsujita had a lot to share from his personal experiences over the years. What excited us more than anything, though, was him showing us several pairs of Fullcount jeans that have seen years of use. The 1101 model we have pictures of below come from his personal collection, and is a pair he wore for several years before retiring them for display in the Fullcount office.

The FC1101 worn for about 2.5 years by Mikiharu Tsujita of Fullcount. They were washed several times (exact number unknown):

This pair of FC1108 saw 3 years and 2 months of wear, with about five washes. Notice the repair work on the rear

^ive always said it...if i wasn't wearing warehouse or ooe, i'd be fullcount all day... thanks for the pics, beautiful stuff

[Maynard Friedman]

What if it wasn't Warehouse, Ooe or Fullcount?

[aho]

^old school denime, LVC or evisu! for different reasons...WH has that perfect balance for me in the end...

[Maynard Friedman]

I'm really looking forward to wearing my Warehouses - I have a pair of Warrens and 1001XXs that have been sitting in the cupboard for 3 and 2 years respectively.

Currently due to end my summer rotation of Edwin and LVC and pick up on last year's winter wearers - Flat Head and SDA. Should start the Warrens in a years time!
