Full Count Denim Thread

New Jeans Day for me today.  Not exactly the pair I was looking for, but I saw that they were on sale and I've never owned a pair of Fullcount.  Fit is perfect, which is good because it was a final sale.

Just grabbed my first pair of Full Count's. L0105XX 50's. FC's were always on my list and seeing limited made me snatch them up. I'll fit them into my rotation somehow, as long as I stop these impulse buys.  Oh well always good to have spares.

You and me both. They feel super wide for the first few hours then I'm like.. oh - this feels great. Whenever I wear anything other than my 0105SSW, they all feel so tight and rigid by comparison. Overnight I saw that Cultizm had an extra 15% off sale items so just picked up some 1101SSW for a mere $167(!) as well because the Super Smooth fabric is great for SoCal and so comfortable. Think they may replace current daily Warehouse's as this fabric is just magic.

@indigoeagle, they're not meant to be. I notice no significant difference between them. You can literally measure the same cloth garment five times and come up with a variance of 1cm. Don't overthink it.

I have just tried on the super smooth 0105 in 33.
And I found them much wider than my "normal" 0105 in 34.
I then checked the measurements on the maker site and it confirmed, what I had noticed.
But perhaps this pair was a bit wider. Not sure.

But good to hear that you found them to fit basically the same.

I think, it has been stated by some users here that they found the waist to fit about one size bigger.
So I'll probably stick with the 33 in these.

@indigoeagle FWIW - I had the SS in a size smaller (29) than the regular 0105 (30).

My SS, only worn one or two times, were larger in both the waist and thighs than the bigger size of the 13.7 oz denim. I really needed a belt with the SS. I usually don't wear one.

I'm not sure if it was the way they were sewn or if the fabric just gave that much in such quick wear time - but the real life factor was even more than a size bigger, closer to 2. I've since sold them so I can't provide any measurements.

Apologies, I was not meaning to say that size to size they should be the same (30 in both are not the same measured size necessarily), just that the proportions for the true size are intended to be the same. It's the same pattern. That being said, I don't even know for sure what sizes I have. I think I have 13.7oz in 31 and SS in 32? Again, when you're playing a game of 1cm here or there on a measuring tape, you're playing to satisfy your own neurosis, not a distinguishable fit difference at five feet. I am not intending to devalue your desire to know those things and satisfy yourself, but the net result after three minutes of wear is nothing to anyone but you when discussing a completely wide legged relaxed fit. If you're wearing Iron Heart 666's, that 1 cm could mean the difference between maintaining an ability to continue your bloodline or not.

Pretty crazy how much texture super smooth has for such a lightweight fabric. This is after a few washes and one tumble dry. Taken in direct sunlight, still pretty damp.

Gave my 0105ss' their first machine wash and they shrunk more than I thought even on cold. Inseam shortened up a little and got some more leg twist. They've already loosened up quite a bit after a day or so of wear. Really enjoying these so far!

@jkbrwn the 1101's from WAYWT and further up here are looking great.

Size wise - did you just go with the same size as your 0105's? (I think you have some of those too right?)

Thanks pal. I did. They’re both a 38”. I easily could’ve done a 36” waist size but my thighs would’ve said no… I also wanted to have the flexibility of beating them up a bit in a washer/dryer as I’ve not really done that before. I feared that a 36” would’ve shrunk too much. Rear rise feels significantly higher on the 0105. I got my WWII 0105 in a 36” and they’re a good fit too, but I think I prefer the extra rise I get from a 38”.
