Full Count Denim Thread

Yeah, that's kinda just the case for FC jeans. I feel like maybe the pockets on my 1108XX (15.5oz) pair are slightly bigger, but the rest of my FC pairs in the standard denim have somewhat shallow pockets.

Sad. Warehouses too. Never understood why.

The smartphones in the 1940s and 50s were just smaller

The pocket bags are my only complaint with the 2 pair of Full Counts (1101xx and 1108xx) I've bought. I like my Edwins better because the cut and denim are very similar, and the pockets are deeper/useable.

do u wash them inside out? thanks~

[smoothsailor]

^no , no regime here. Take it of, uncuff the cuffs, throw it in the basket, and wait till it reappears again

My 0105s in 32 have arrived from Japan just now. 5 days to the UK. Pretty damn fast and great customer service from FC who were able to pick a pair out for me and let me know the waist measurement before shipping.

These fit ALOT more comfortably in the waist than the 31s (which I seemed to be unlucky with and they were undersized) 

Will be giving them a good 40 wash first to get rid of most of the shrinkage. 

Looking forward to wearing these a lot. Their standard 13.7oz is so comfortable from the start. Not sure what other brand can really compare in that department.

No unfortunately not. And now l have my teenage son living with me, so for him it's a magic laundry basket but for me it's more washing to organise and get dry ...

So l have an non-magical laundry basket atm 🥲 (tiny violin playing in the background)

My boy has a magical house hold, where I see him about 10 min. A day.

Glad you got that sorted! Glad to hear also about your good experience with FC customer service, I had a great experience too.

And regards comfort straight from the off, I've yet to experience quite the same in any other brand's fabric - I think there's a fairly large consensus here on that! They're a joy to wear!

I spent all day yesterday in my 0105s, and yeah, they are easily the most comfortable pair of jeans I own.

[PrettyBoyTony]

Thought I'd post an updated fit of my 0105w seeing as I got the 32. I've washed and dried on high to shrink the inseam a couple of times but think at most I lost half an inch. Was thinking about getting them hemmed but the double cuff is growing on me. 

Loving the colour of the indigo now. Looks very saturated. It's great being able to wash and dry as normal and not worry that they will get too slim. The waist stretches back to the point i need a belt. Very comfortable. I'm stoked!

Throwback to 2009.  Here are BIG x Fullcount 1108's.  Tons of washes, handfuls of repairs.  15 years later it still sees wear and fits like a glove, actually better than I first got them.  Out of all the jeans I have bought throughout the years these have stood the test of time and are probably my favorite.  Breaking in a pair of Resolute 710 so only have these 2 pairs in my rotation.  I've also had a habit of keeping all the price tags and jean tags of all the different pairs I've owned, so here are the original from the run.

It was recommended to me that I look into the 0105 cut and I'm pretty fired up about the fit. These are the lighter super smooth version and are ridiculously comfortable as advertised. I've normally been wearing a 34 in most jeans and went with a 33 in these. I could of probably sized down to a 32, but a little extra room isn't a bad thing. Tripled cuffed in these photos so I'll probably send these in for a hem at some point.

Agreed, I have the same pair. And the not so smooth pair, both in 36. The smooth one could have been a 34.

but I might have lost the wide fit of it

[jkbrwn]

Yeah... I started wearing my 0105SS yesterday and my god, comfort I've never experienced before.

 

Does anyone have an 2102SS jacket? I was in the market for a Type II and the softness of these 0105 is making me think the 2102 will be great, but FC pricing......

I have the jacket and the pants. It's a great jacket. The entire experience of the cloth in the pants translates perfectly in the jacket. As for the cut, it's a nice, boxy, properly short-cut Type I fit.

Thank you! After posting this I realized that Cultizm got stock of the early 60s Warehouse 2002XX and couldn't resist that sweet no VAT almost the same price as Bears price.

I have the jacket as well. I don’t wear it now, but I like it - it’s the same as the pants. It’s a great fabric.

The extent of the loose threads made me laugh.

Looks like someone has thrown a plate of spaghetti at the model! 

[Alec Leamas]

Seems to be domestic-ish pricing though so maybe fill your boots! Even if there is a bit of pasta on the product!

Next year's edition: the sewing machines are still attached as well!

Guilty.
