Full Count Denim Thread

[Flash]

not that it needs to be said again ..but , great fit and be sure to keep us updated on the evo

[superfuzz]

Thanks! I'm really happy with them. I've been rotating my denim lately, but I'm hoping to pretty much only wear these for a year. I'll post evo pics.

What boots are those?

 

(great fit btw)

Welcome to the Fullcount family Superfuzz. How'd you size on those 1108XX? I love the way that cut looks but always wonder if the thighs or top block would be too tight for me...

 

In the meantime, my 1101 are nearing the two month mark and there's already plenty of repairing to do. Gotta love that cotton thread. 

[superfuzz]

Sugar Mountain, I went TTS, which for me is 28, so I usually can't size down anyway. I was looking for a straight, classic fit which I don't really have in my rotation right now. I think BIG's one washed measurements are pretty spot on for the raw after a couple soaks.

[efujobu1]

Bout to pull the trigger on a pair of 1101 sized down 1. Can you guys comment on the stretch of this denim? I'm planning to hot soak it for an hour.

Anyone already wash their pair? Significant shrinkage?

[Flash]

the denim shrinks to tag size ( would take more than 1 hot soak ) and stretches back to pre soak measurements in points of strain , be sure to post some fit pics 

 

allways regretted not picking these up

i have a look on yahoo auctions from time to time but never in my size 

[efujobu1]

Thanks flash! Will do. Always worried about the thigh measurements but these seem fine.

Anyone ever size up on the 1108? My considerable gut makes me need a looser waist but I still like 50's cuts...Thinking I can achieve this by sizing up to a 34 in 1108 instead of going with a TTS 32 0105. Am I crazy?

 

Or can anyone comment on the 0105 being looser one size ish than a normal 50's sized pair?

my regular size is 34 and i wear both, my 1108xx and my 1109, in 36 because of that same reason.

[Sugar Mountain]

I can't comment on 1108 sizing Aho, but I would've thought you'd be better taking the 0105 if you're after a fuller cut. Be sure to size down one tag size for true waist in Fullcount.

 

I washed my 1101 earlier in the week. After two month's daily wear, they were a little gross from sweat, food splats and my family-in-law's dog. I really like how the back pockets are shaping up, with a lil' vertical fading and some nice puckering.

 

 

The lower stitch on both pockets lasted only a couple of weeks before blowing out, so that needed repairing. I'm quite pleased with my needle work.

 

 

 

Also had to repair one of the button holes, as that was breaking up. Seems Fullcount are not really built to last but rather built to fall apart beautifully!

[Bill_e_jean]

your 1101 looks great. I gave my 1109 a cold soak yesterday after nearly seven months of occasional wear. so far i had no issues with the button holes on my pairs.

[Sugar Mountain]

Yeah, I think the button hole thing was just a freak manufacturing flaw. All darned up now though. 

 

Any photos to show of your 1109 in their current state?

[Flash]

wore my 1108's for about 6 months without a single busted stitch , you must be really hard on your jeans SM

[Sugar Mountain]

Either that or you sold me a duff pair mate! 

[Flash]

Been thinking about getting a pair of 1101's ever since i say your fit pics , cant really justify it but as i already have the 13.7oz denim in the 1108 cut and ive got some evisu 2000 no.2's on the way

Damn this weak yen its a curse as well as a blessing

[SLAB]

I did not notice any weak(er) cotton stitching on my fullcounts compared to other Japanese brands

 

Aho, sizing up two would considerably alter the fit? Better to get the 0105 as sugar mountain already suggested.

 

I did not get around washing my 1101's yet; hope to try them on post wash sometime following week

Aho, the 1108 might do what you're looking for. I had a pair of size 40 1108, too big in the waist, but too small in the thigh. If I was looking at a pair of 0105s, it would be a toss up between size 35 or 36.

You could always wait until the next special edition 1101 comes out. Like you, I wish I could have got hold of the 20th anniversary edition and the 1992 revival version with American cotton fades beautifully too. Good call with the Evisu.

[Flash]

those and the limited ww2's and id be a happy man 

[aho]

thanks everyone, I think I'll stick with the 0105 after all since I'm a 50s cut type...Bless the falling yen!

 

same guy wearing a 32 in 0105 and 34 in 1108...guess I wasn't talking crazy after all!

[ironheartfan123]

i keep wondering if i am going to buy one of those remaining 0105 contest jeans in sz 30, so tempting!

[efujobu1]

Got my 1101's from Vari few days ago.  I still need to take fit pics but I'm pretty happy with pre-soak fit.

It's not monstrously huge like my Eternals and Devis pair were.  I'm not gonna have to wash and tumble dry theses babies. =)

selling a soaked size 32 1108 fuck wont fit me for 200 bucks shipped brand new just doesnt wanna fit hit me up

[Sugar Mountain]

^^ No, not the 1922. I should have written 1993 Revival but they are a US cotton model of the 1101 (label is 1101XX but not the same as the recent 15.5oz anniversary version also called the 1101XX). Fullcount originally used US cotton before switching to Zimbabwe for their denim. Denimba recently posted a great side by side comparison of two pairs of 1108 with these two different denims:

..but then you don't know how different they were dyed. You don't know how many parameters have been changed so a real comparison is hard (from the scientific point of view)

 

You haven't seen the 1922 before? I really like them for the blatant rip-off look they have

They were very oversized, Foxy owns a pair

[Sugar Mountain]

^ Yup, furthermore I think the Zimbabwe 1108 from that contributor were worn for a long time without washing, leading to a high contrast fade. I don't think it states how the the US cotton pair was worn and washed. Still, it's an interesting side-by-side and that guy PBoy has some wild jeans (check out his Eternal 811).
