How are these doing @volvo240thebest? They looked awesome here.

I'm considering a pair at the moment - what has the rise and thigh ended up like on a 34 after some wash and wear??

I wore them basically every day until the end of June, then put them away because they’re quite thick and the weather this summer has basically always been too hot for denim. It’s still hot enough now, but I’m hoping to wear them again next week if it cools down a bit.

I’m away from home for a couple of days, but I’ll try to give you the measurements next week. The rise is comically high. Basically, any tucked-in look is completely farcical 🤣 But apart from that, I think it’s the most flattering fit I can remember having on myself. Just no tucked-in shirts or T-shirts 🤣

Thanks that's interesting! It's fully cooled down here now kinda missing the warmth already.

I'm actually keen on the rise, that's why I'm interested haha - I'll keep an eye out for those measurements thank you!

I've been eying the baggy 50's for a while and when I saw they got restocked I decided to the pull the trigger. These are a size 34. I requested a hem from them, but they showed up unhemmed. A little sad, but I actually kind of like how the chunky cuffs are looking? I need to dwell on it

 

 

Also picked up the catface jacket in black. Very lightweight, has some crunch to it Love the big front pockets! Going to give it a wash and see if it shrinks up a bit.

Both look great. I was considering the jacket too but decided to go with the Pullover Shirt. Odd they didn't hem the jeans! I always get this fear and feel like I need to send a separate email regarding the hem note. Looks like I'll keep doing that...

How's the fit compared to your Fullcount 0105? They look wider 

[space_cowboy]

I was emailing back and forth when Ryo regarding sizing. He was adamant that a 36 would of been the right size. Funnily enough, I was contemplating a 33 based on some fit pics I've seen from other people on the internet and almost got that instead, but I'm glad I didn't because that would of been way too tight in the waist. The 34 seems just right, the waist is a little snug but it already has stretched out some with a day of wear and the rest of the leg is draping nicely. Compared to my 0105ss', the baggy 50's feel more fitted through the waist, hips, and butt which is exactly what I wanted. The back rise on these is also significantly shorter than the 0105. Down through the thighs and legs these have a lot more room. Keep in mind I sized down on my Fullcounts. I went with a 32, mainly because the ss fabric has considerable stretch too it. I picked up a size 33 0105 in the ecru denim secondhand and they're actually tighter than my 32's, so I'm probably going to sell those. If I would get another pair of 0105's in their regular denim, I would most likely go with a 34.

Yeah the FC SS does seem bigger. When I had the SS 33 it seemed more wider than my 33 13.7oz.

Maybe I'll give the baggys a try later down the line once my standard 50s are more faded.

Contest S40s

Fabric on these is amazing, high rise makes for great work pants, bit tight recently…

So nice that people are still wearing the contest S40s.

How do you like the jacket? Really like it but I’m not sure about the sizing because they seem huge in the body looking at the size charts.

also thinking about buying the baker pants.

I like it! There is a good amount of room in the body, but that's a plus for me since it makes layering nice and easy. You could always size down if you want a tighter fit. FYI -  gave it a hot wash and dry and there wasn't much shrinkage.

@greathoudini

I got the Baker pants and I love them. Sizing is a bit tricky. The listed waist measurement does not account for the two waist buttoned cinches. The measurement listed is unbuttoned. Buttoned the cinches take in over an inch.

Gave my 1890's jacket a wash and wanted to share my favorite selvedge detail.

Hey man! Just checking in on this and pleading for the measurements if you get chance! haha
