FOB Factory

[ExileOnMainSt]

Just recieved my first every garmet of clothing from FOB.

I must warn, if you are less of a man-child, and have some sort of grown man build, FOB is not the right fit for you.

My shirt in the biggest size is hella tight around my boobs and forearms.

There might be a badass hickory striped work shirt going up in the supermarket soon.

[edmond]

yes sah! them for skinny peeps only

[edmond]

same as this

[horriblyjollyjinx]

i agree from the bears website the fit pics on those f151 looks like a sam s5000

but i doubt that the f098 fits like a ww2 these are a bit tight to fit like a ww2 cut

look at these

looks like a ww2 cut worn really snug to me. I look sort of similar in my TFH 3003.

[edmond]

sized down ww2 cut? wow thats a good idea..

[SLAB]

Edmond, you still owe us fit pics of your f161's :-)

[edmond]

ok will do that in a couple of hours.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

sized down ww2 cut? wow thats a good idea..

Marlon Brando did it(almost).

[edmond]

cool i do some searching on marlon brando's grease guy pics.. hmmm.

Bump time for this thread, and a cross-post from the jean jackets thread

Just picked up this FOB Factory jacket for £60 on eBay, in pristine condition:

Love the cheeky little tab on the jacket:

And the fit, presoak:

Done some looking around, and there's little information to be found on FOB jackets so I'm unsure of what to expect when I soak it. Any ideas on shrinkage etc?

[salaami]

those are the epitome of a beautiful fade...simply marvelous. nice find, brummie. you do the denim tux as well as the best of em'

[CrashTestBrummie]

Haha cheers man, just hope that it doesn't shrink too much as I'm feeling the look of the jacket right now!

[fur]

resurrection????anybody have anything going on?

[fallen angels]

Yup, I still wearing my FOB F151's a couple times a month but basically just to work (office job), no hard wear. They're really great though, and i like the feel of the denim more than the Skull 6x6 denim (which i also really like), just my personal preference.

[RRLselvageDenim]

I'm trying to decide whether to bust out my brand new FOB 151 arcs and tab --it's been been sitting in my closet for 3yrs or sell them. Still working on my Sammies 0110xj and Iron heart 634S

[CrashTestBrummie]

That reminds me, I still got a raw FOB Factory Type I jacket hanging up, forgot all about it till you just posted...I'm still wearing an old deadstock Evis Type II...

[edmond]

im soaking my fob f098 a 47 xx type cut right now in 15 mins i will hang them dry..

[Flash]

are they the old arcs?

[edmond]

Anybody have an idea how the denim on this ages? : http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bears/fob-f1122b/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dfullcount%2Bbears%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dopera%26rls%3Den%26hs%3DRFn&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhh27MZ9fYL8A4uNy8a2VPDnNpw_EA

something like this

[napoleon]

Nobody has mentioned it in this thread yet but has anyone else noticed where the side loops are sewn on at the bottom? The loops are not sewn into the thick seam like on most repros but just bellow it. I thought it was a bit of a defect on mine until I saw this picture. You can see it on the very bottom right. Has anyone had one the side loops rip off because of this?

In case someone finds this useful... I've had a chance to try on a few raw pairs in person and in terms of just waist sizing, 32 FOB F151s fit the same as 33 Eternal 811s, fit the same as 32 UES 400Rs. I really wanted to try on a pair of R.J.Blues with the leather pockets but didn't find a pair quickly and ran out of time.
