The FOB Western shirt F3152 looks pretty cool

just curious if anyone have updates with wear?

also, does anyone know how the 161 fits?

[john11f]

bump...wearing my F151 again. these jeans are made to fade rapidly. i rarely use them but during those times it develops a lot more hues & creases...

for those interested. SIZE DOWN 1

Are these the same jeans that you were told to size up 2?

[john11f]

yes, now it has stretched a lot.

[machineo]

hey john can you give measurements of your pair now? i bought a pair of 151s a long time ago sizing down 1 (to a 32). It was discouraging to see that pre wash they were already 31.5, as well as reading the recomendation of sizing up 2. so can you give me an idea of how much they stretched and how long it took to stretch? i knew i wasnt selling these for a reason!

[gimmegimme]

yes, now it has stretched a lot.

Good to know. Post some pics if you get a chance!

[john11f]

i'll try to post some pics but not much going on for my pair. i've been distracted by the Sorahiko's (inspired by partytaco's constant wash but good fades) & the Oni Shoai's.

see if i could measure them for you...

nevertheless, one of the best jeans in terms of construction...seems bulletproof!

Your denim collection is my wet dream.

I was trying to gather some more information / did'nt find anything in the encyclopedia..

They seem to be pretty good qality - and apperantly make a 66 cut that looks like it might be well done..

So - in case they are in your posession / or you know anything about the brand ....please share

[Cameland]

Theres a fob 151 thread with a couple of pictures, maybe you should read through that.

[indigo_junkie]

^^ I was just about to mention that. Don't know if this 66 cut is anything like the F151, though.

[gimmegimme]

They make one of my favourite patches...love the helicopters.

[beatle]

Thanks...so I found it

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=16887&highlight=fob

Also found these lovely evolution pics

So - does anybody have the 66 cut and could give impressions ?

[cheep]

i know hap has some... you should ask him.

wait... i think he has some... one of his posts was the first i had heard about them.

[beatle]

I believe the model is called F161 / 66 cut

66 fading example...

Selvage looks nice and clean / pretty thin redline

Fit seems okay

[beatle]

Yeah - I might do that......

And this shirt looks awesome

[indesertum]

haha I was looking at pics at Bears and I really liked the name.

[gimmegimme]

The Colt store on Rakuten has a FOB Outlet with some nice shirts as well.

They also make an organic jean (161) that looks very similar in cut to the 151, which btw, only has a 33" inseam after washing....SO annoying.

Side story - I went to look at rawselvedge.com to see if they had any wear pics (they don't) and spelled it rawselvage.com and it re-directed me to contextclothing's website. Strange.

that work shirt is delightful.

[jubei]

I;m sort of weirded out by the name, but they seem to put out good stuff. Nothing super adventurous, though (which is porbably their greatest strength and weakness). I've not handled them in person, but I always lump them together with Fullcount and maybe Flathead when I think of repro brands.

[john11f]

I have the F151 and it is one of the most well constructed jeans I have. If you order, size down. The indigo is almost as dark as the Eternal 811 and even the cut.

Yes, i also like the cool apache helicopter patch.

[beatle]

Thanks so much, Mods - big rep..

[fallen angels]

I;m sort of weirded out by the name, ...

the "FOB" in FOB Factory means "Free on Board" (or sometimes Freight On Board), which is a common term used in international commerce, not "fresh off the boat" haha

the F151 is great, definately one of the most well constructed jeans i have too. i actually went with my true waist size and the fit is real nice after a hot soak (see pic). havent experienced that much stretch on mine, but i only wear them once in a while. did yours stretch a noticable amount?

the apache patch owns

[gimmegimme]

^^ Those look great. What size are those...and what did the inseam end up being after soak? I'm still upset these are so short.

[beatle]

Seriously considering a pair...if there's someone out there who has them and wants to sell - let me know...Looks like F151 or F161 are the best shot...

[fallen angels]

^^ Those look great. What size are those...and what did the inseam end up being after soak? I'm still upset these are so short.

i got a size 34.. when raw, the inseam was about 36". after the soak, it was about 34", which is the tagged inseam size.

[Chponglasia]

Thinking about picking up a pair of 151s. The measurements vary widely on different sites. Could anyone who has this weigh in on shrinking AND stretching? For reference I usually wear 32 in most everything. I'm thinking 32 would be good, but a few sites have the post-wash waist as small as 31, which won't work for me. Help?

Thanks.
