It is a better method than having loon pants...

How much does the waist stretch back out on the 0105xx, past the original raw size? If they easily go back to the original measurements waist and thigh wise. it's all good. It's the difference between a 34 and 33 for me. Something like this would be spot on:

 

 

My 0105 size 33 started out at 35.5" in the waist (raw).  After a one hour warm/hot soak, line dry, and a few days of wearing, the waist was 36".   Not sure where they'll go from here with more washing and wearing.

[big truck]

Good stuff JohnM thank you.

[garden gnomes in space]

My size 32 0105xx go out to 34 pretty easily.  I dont really need more than that although I'm sure they would give a tad bit more if required.  not sure this helps at all but there you go...

[edmond]

i do everythinf on a 34 but i wear 33 on fc 0105 and 1101

[edmond]

ih and fit wont look like that on me unless im 6 foot 2 with a 34 waist

[darym]

im considering buying the new fc1109ic,

i wear sz30 on samurai s710xx and its a lil bit tight on the thigh now, even though the waist is perfectly fine

can u guys help me on the sizing with this 1109ic? got really confused

[nycsurfer530]

@darym, 1109 will fit slimmer than your 710s. If your 710s are sing on your thighs i would size up for your thighs sake, just note that the waist will on the looser fit.

I wear a 29 in the S710xx and a 28 in both 1109 and 1109xx. The 1109 fabric does stretch out, so I'd go with a 29

[the spirit]

Haven't updated here in awhile - 1109xx starting to show a hint of their potential after about 4 or 5 months of effective wear and 3 washes...

[Sugar Mountain]

The Spirit - Those are looking great already. I think you're going to have some stunning evo on those a few months down the line. 

 

Really love the way the arcs break down on Fullcount... So nice.

Figured this might be as good of a place to ask as any.

I read on Okayama Denim's Instagram that Fullcount is going to make the Brown's Beach jackets up to size 44 come F/W 15.

Can you confirm that Ed? If so mark me down for their shawl collar style cardigan/jacket...been eyeing them from afar for awhile now!

[edmond]

hhi broak. hold on ill check the catalog

[setterman]

Quick fit picture of my 0105 post wash (ignore color, it's off).  Just washed these back in mid September, and can't image I've worn them more than 25 times since, but they were so stretch out I need to wash them again.  If these would hold their post wash measurements, they'd be perfect.  As is, they're already stretching out after a half hour of wear.  Would really consider dropping down to a 35 on another pair of these (these are a 36).  Big truck, get them as small as you can stand them.  

 

       

[Broark]

Thanks Ed, I really like the look of the shawl collar cardigan jacket and a 44 would be ideal.

Plus since I've been on a jacket buying spree lately the fact that they're coming next fall is good news.

 

And I agree with Setterman, buy them as small as you can and you'll end up happy after stretching.

Not the same cut, but I went for a 35 in the 1101 (one size down) and sized to the thighs essentially and I'm very happy with them.

[d-rew12]

I need your guys help. I am split between the 1101 and the 0105. I just visited BiG today and tried on the 1101 in a 36 OW and they were a lot bigger than the measurements on the website (I know pairs vary but the waist was like 38+) so I know I'll need a 35 but since they didn't have the OW version and neither OW sizes for the 0105 I couldn't really compare.

I love the fit of my PBJ xx-009's (sz 36) but I have them hemmed to a 30" inseam and the leg opening is just too big (~9.4" would prefer 9-9.2ish). Because of the bigger thighs in both fullcount models I'm kind of wary of the 1101 since it tapers pretty extreme but fits better everywhere else than the 0105.

Any ideas which would potentially be a better fit? I know it all comes down to preference but I'm curious to here other opinions.

[Broark]

I can take measurements of the hem of my size 35 1101's that have been hemmed to around 32 in. if you're interested d-rew.

I'm a big fan of the cut and plan on wearing my 1101's more next summer.

 

Also, had a bit of a denim geek out today.

I work at a retail shop here in Austin, Texas that sells generally mainstream raw denim (N&F, Unbranded, etc.) so I rarely run into people who appreciate quality denim.

Hell, I rarely see anyone around this city wearing interesting jeans.

This guy casually came in wearing a pair of well broken in Fullcounts! Not something you see everyday here at all.

He said he got them while in Japan and they're some of his favorite jeans and picked them up because they're not widely represented.

Just had to share that here.

That would be awesome! If you wouldn't mind, could you measure the thighs and waist as well? If not, no worrys but I appreciate it!

Edit: I figured screw it and went and purchased them last night from denimio. pretty damn cheap with the weak yen so, can't wait!

Ive decided against them setterman. The idea of stretchy jeans is not enthusing me.

Grabbed myself a pair of 1101s for the Holidays. 36 one wash was too big so I ordered the 35 raw (couldn't find 35 one wash). The thigh ended up being smaller than BiGs measurements so I got a bit scared and gave them a cold soak in the washing machine. The waist pretty much stretched back out immediately (which is great). I haven't really worn them yet, and they're a bit slimmer than I'm used to but not uncomfortable or anything. Just have to get used to them. I also will be giving them a hem soon.

Hey d-few, sorry I never got you any measurements on my 1101's, recently moved and it's been a busy time of year.

I think they look good though, the 13.7 oz denim stretches easily and I think the thighs will give a bit.

I know whenever I washed my pair in the machine I felt like they were a bit slim but then after a couple days of wear they feel just right.

[garden gnomes in space]

d-rew thats  a perfect fit in my opinion.  nice silhouette without being too snug or sloppy.  good choice in cuts/size.  If it were me, I would get them hemmed so I could rock a mini single cuff...

No worries! I decided to say screw it and go for it. Right now they're pretty good although a little tight (could just be because I'm not used to them), but I'm glad to hear that! Have to be careful for when I wash in the future, but it's no big deal. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with them! And yeah, I am definitely going to get them hemmed. Going to go up to SF next weekend and have them cut down to 30" length. Perfect for a small single cuff and a little stacking.

[chicote]

Great fit d-rew! Exactly how I'd want the 1101 to look imo.

[PeterParker]

With the loss of my Warehouse 700J's, there is a void in my denim life that only a fuller cut 501 repro can fill. tried wearing my Kapital TH, but I simply can't wear cuffed jeans any more so those will have to wait until they get a proper hem.

 

And so the time has come for the Fullcount 0105C:
