Full Count Denim Thread

[redgreen]

Hi guys,

Looking at 1904 shorts, and was looking for advice on sizing.  Should I go true to size in hopes that they will stretch over time or go up one size?  I got momotaro shorts and the thighs are quite fitted, was hoping for something more relaxed but worried about the waist being too big.  I usually get my denim in size 34" waist.

Thanks

Get the larger size. Short are suppose to be really comfortable and have space for your butt to breath during summer. Wear a nice belt. If it ends up being too big, just wash and use the dryer, it will certainly get smaller.

Been wearing this for the past 2 years or so 

Sit alot as evident from the intense ass fade.

Not really feeling the fit anymore (abit too tight on the thigh) not comfy especially when I am really sweaty. So putting this on ice for the time being...

The printed on arcs have lasted well I have a similar pair but only a few dots of paint left!

It does held up very well through immense amount of sitting down, guess I will have to do some real hard labour to fade it out.

[H...crimper]

They are looking good though.

Anyone ever have an issue of loose fly buttons on full counts? I have a 1101 from 2019 that has had this issue since new. I'm not sure if it is due to the softer than usual fabric, but I frequently find myself having 1 of the bottom buttons on the fly unbuttoned randomly. I found that when I button the fly up, the last button would come off the hole while I button the next one without much tension.

Yes! I had this issue with mine. What I ended up doing was stitching the button hole closed a bit at the narrow end of the tear drop shape, making buttoning a bit tighter. Seemed to solve it.

haha i see, its weird that I only have this problem in this FC pair, but I guess its due to the soft FC fabric. thanks for the tip!

Hi!

I bought a second hand 1101s, and I'd like to know what the S stands for?

[Maynard Friedman]

0105 SFS

does anyone know if the one wash 1101w shrink in length at all after hot soaking or washing? 

[Suitedupmon]

@roomtemplacroix

I was going to answer earlier this week, but I knew I was going to give my pair another hot wash. After two hot washes now (heavy agitation), I've lost about 1 1/4 in. in length.

[roomtemplacroix]

received my 1101w yesterday. i wear a 29 in most brands and bought a 30. i understand now that most advise to size down by 1 on this thread. i hot soaked them in 130f water for about 20 minutes and then let them spin in the washer, then hang dry in hot sunlight. that process resulted in .5 inch shrink in the inseam but not much elsewhere. i wouldn’t mind hot washing them to shrink more, but either way they’re nice and loose and probably gonna be my summer shitkickers for the foreseeable future. this 13.7oz denim is very very cool. 

[Suitedupmon]

They look good, man. I sized up one from my typical measurment as well. The diaper butt gets pretty ridiculous after a few weeks of wear but they are way too comfy for me to regret the decision. I just end up washing them pretty often. Enjoy!

Full Count is definitely a brand where you size down by 1”.

[Cold Summer]

Nice fit! You could've sized down but that doesn't look bad at all.

For their regular denim, for the XX true to size is better imo.

1101 after their last wash so they can go have a rest in the shelves for the TCB contest. 

[Maynard Friedman]

One wash, BNWT, arcs and tab, unworn. PM me if you’re interested.

[Lazerr]

Anyone happen to have experience with the 1108SL? Seems like they run smaller than the usual 1108 based off of Okayama Denim’s size chart however the Fullcount page shows usual sizing for a 34.

I had been saving a pair of 1101s w/arcs that I got about a year ago, thinking I'd keep them nice and only wear them for work events and social outings. Now that I'm working from the home office for the next 12 months minimum and no longer spending nights out on the town, that plan seems pointless. Thanks for the inspiration @irual, my 1101s are now officially in the weekly rotation!

[irual]

You're welcome @MileHighEvertonian  Wouldn't mind having another pair of the 1101 myself. At least you will be comfortable working from home wearing the 1101. Post some pics when you get a chance!

What does ‘inverted’ mean in this context?

Difficult to explain, but the bottom part of the belt loop is folded under, then tacked. I think this is to accommodate the cinch strap.

When l went to Soas to check out the various '1922' models, this was a feature on one pair they had.

 

[MJF9]

@Dr_Heech what was your verdict on the FC 22s overall?
