Full Count Denim Thread

[chris_n]

totally forgot... how are you guys saving your leather patches from being shrunken to death during the initial hot wash?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

trating with leather care and not wash hot just don't overdo the temperature

[Snake]

A good hand wash with warm water will take care of most of the shrinkage. There is no need to hot soak your jean and ruin you leather patch. FC denim may take a couple soaks/handwashes to get all the shrinkage out of the way.

[chris_n]

i'm pretty familiar w/ the fc denim characteristics, but what's odd is my leather patch never shrunk extremely until my most recent wash. same wash style as all the other times.

[BrownMetallic]

when hot soaking, i usually keep the waistband above water while scalding hot, then fully immerse once tepid... & always prepped with Obenauf.

yea don't initial hot wash, i threw my 1108s in hot wash reg-cycle and i regret it they shrunk down way too much. i think doing a gentle/delicate wash with warm water should be fine and if leaves any unwanted wrinkles just warm soak them for 10 min and then hang dry. thats what i plan to do with my wh660.

mmm, not a fan of the white stitching

[ranonranonarat]

good share snake, thanks.

not a fan of the hardware though. seems a bit too clean for me for a pair of WWII's.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the bag looks cool though

[paulduke04]

pardon the awful iphone pics. here are the fit pics of big contest jeans i started wearing for 2-3 weeks. it'll try to get better pics later - i think my roommate has a dslr

that knee bagging is the only thing i don't like about the jeans atm. hopefully the denim relaxes soon - still quite starchy/stiff.

new natural indigo jeans from fullcount.

1101 cut. price is reasonable for ai denim. question is, if it is 100% natural indigo

[Snake]

Yeah I wonder. AI is only 2500 yen more than the regular 1101?

[Flash]

Fullcount has allways been pretty reasonable with there ai jeans iirc BIG was selling there 0105 for around $325 but that was a few years ago

all your photo links are "page not found"

Under your photos in photobucket, you should have four links, one of which is IMG code. Copy and paste that link where you want the photo to appear in your sufu posts, like below.

...

That's how I do it in other forums - there it works without a problem.

Here in SuFu it does not work...

Do I need to do something with my photobucket settings? Or my SuFu setting or status? Too little posts to contribute pictures...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I also use the "IMG code" link which photobucket provides...and it works everytime

I use the same codes over at mynudies - not a problem.

Here at SuFu - wtf

Makes me think it is a problem with the settings.

edit - can't do it from my iPad - need to do it from my iBook - not that it makes sense, but it works this way...

fixed!

great pair. the pocket flasher looks great! can't wait to see fit pics.

[Foxy2]

W31 - Pre-soak - Post-soak

W 17.5" - 16.25/16.5" (will stretch easily)

FR 12" - 11.5"

BR 16.25" - 15.5"

T 13.5" - 13"

K 10" - 9.5"

LO 9.25" - 8.75/9"

IS 36" - 33.25/33.5"

Some post-soak shots...

breaking them in right now at home - if I wear them outside later today I will take fit pictures.

right now I am stretching the waistband, rise is high - this model (like a true 1922 model) is supposed to sit right on the waistline and not on the hips like most modern cuts.

denim feels dry and lightweight - although not as lightweight as some Warehouse models feel, but this is only subjective right now...

How breathable are fullcount's 13.75 and 15.5oz denims? I'm considering getting a pair for summer

[Denim Phenom]

You'll be fine.

[aho]

crosspost from osaka showdown

These are some pics of my FC1108 at 185 days. So far I've only done the initial hot machine wash to shrink em. Kinda regret it though as they shrunk down way too much. Planning on washing them sometime over the weekend, I'll post some new pics after the wash.

Sorry for the iPhone pics. I do have an s95 but haven't really played around with it so no idea how to take proper photos.
