The LVC's 1915 and 1922s are over sized too. I know you are interested in the former, but IMO the Fullcount 1922 is a better take (pattern and hardware wise) on the early 1900s 501 than either of the LVC models.  I'd recommend getting it over either of the two LVC models.  The only thing they have going for them is the denim.

I'll try to get the 1922 out tomorrow, wear them and compare them to the new XX denim - maybe, even some pics...

This way I can confirm the measurements and describe the method.

(usually, I measure with the waistline parallel/aligned or directly along the entire waistline.)

Here is an old pic:

Did not get around to take a pic,

But measurements are: around 34" (86.36cm) at the moment.

(Could be stretched even further if needed - measured straight along the aligned waistband.)

A shame to see on Facebook that there has been a termination of the business arrangement between Fullcount and Take5. The four stores will now cease to sell the brand's products.

Wonder what the problem was ? Seen on Bennys blog a few weeks ago he had a meeting with Miki

[Sugar Mountain]

I'm only going by the Bing translation, but it appears that Take5 believed they had exclusivity in HK, China, Taiwan and Thailand but Fullcount were selling to another Thai store. The visit to Osaka was intended to rectify the issue but to no avail. Hence, the termination of business.

Thanks mate

[Foxy2]

That explains why my recent orders have been slow...

Indeed, that is bad news.

So, a little round up of 1922 waist sizing collated from the net. A number of the sites put the 1922 as approximating the 0105 cut.

...and yet, measurements by Foxy:

Which would seem to put Joe Net as the winner and current holder of the new most accurate measuring site award!

Hooray for JoeNet!

 

Worthy of a site bump.

Cheers.

Hey, just to clear up some facts for you the Fullcount Online Shop list their measurements for One-Wash/Rinsed/Pre-shrunk jeans. Bears and American Clothing definitely list their sizing as Raw.

Our sizing reflects the official measurements by the Fullcount brand, which are One Wash.

no excuse not to buy if you have a size:

[PeterParker]

Could not resist the temptation.  Wary of the 0105 fit, but sized down 2 should be interesting.

 

On a serious Full Count spree, just purchased a moderately worn pair of 1108 a couple of weeks ago!

[superfuzz]

I'm jealous of you guys who can size down, I'm a pretty solid size 28, so it's usually hard to find anything smaller in the US.

[garden gnomes in space]

I sized down one on my 0105, worked out great.  I miss the smell and feel of a brand new pair of full counts.  shit is crack.  

[Quoise1203]

You should get another pair

[garden gnomes in space]

You should get another pair

[S-Town]

Did you get the WW2 05 cut Gnomes? Best summer jeans I've had in a minute!

[garden gnomes in space]

no, i just went with the 0105xx.  Probably the best cut I have ever worn in my opinion, and the xx denim has crazy texture.  

[Maynard Friedman]

Gnomes, you sized down 1 in your 0105 compared to your SDA 101 and Warehouse 415 if I remember correctly. How would you compare the 3 fits?

[garden gnomes in space]

yes I did.  They are all pretty similar, but the SDA101 seems to have a slightly lower rise that the other two, to the point that I notice it when wearing them.  Its not uncomfortable, but its not ideal.  The rise and top block on my size 32 FC 0105 and size 33 WH 415 are almost identical.  I think out of all 3, the Full Counts stretch the most, but this usually gets resolved as usual, with a wash.  Everything else fit-wise is pretty similar.  

[garden gnomes in space]

also know that the thigh measurements that and-japan has listed for the 0105xx is utter bullshit.  its not 12.2" for a size 32 once washed.  Its closer to 13.

@Hog:

 

Fullcount released a new 1922 model using their new 13,6oz wild zimbabwe cotton denim.

Crotch rivet!

[Maynard Friedman]

Thanks Gnomes,

I may have to sell one of my 'spare' pairs of SD-101s or my FH1005 to get a pair of 0105XXs...
