Full Count Denim Thread

[SLAB]

this is a picture I could dig up quickly; fullcounts in the middle; Skulls on the left; Warehouse 660 in early stages on the right (old pic)

Just got a pair of 1109xx

The denim is perfect , soo dark and a nice wearable weight ( 15.5 )

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I have to agree with flash. To me it is also perfect denim. Heavy (yes, 15,5oz is heavy when talking about normal/classical denim ), dark, hairy, the right amount of irregularities, stiff&crunchy enough at first but not too stiff, comfortable to wear (because of the weight and the 100% Zimbabwe cotton).

To me, it’s the best denim of the Japanese repro brands, offered in any of their regular product range (some special and limited editions might be better but I like the thought that I can get these awesome jeans/denim whenever I want ).

If I was going for Fullcount, I'd get some 15.5oz XX ones - this is about the perfect weight for me I hope that the denim on my 15.7oz Zim cotton Momotaro 0901s isn't too dissimilar.

^anyone with the new 15.5 denim that also had the fc contest jeans? wondering how they compare, just picked up a pair of 1653 LTD's from the BiG sale...

[Maynard Friedman]

I thought it was the same denim as the competition one, albeit with different coloured selvage. Too good a deal to miss there aho, once they reached 50% off!

[akka225]

@aho: fit pics would be great, also if they don't work out let me know, i had my eye on those as the top block measurements seemed generous but things looked a little slim below that.

fit pics either way!

^i'll keep you posted...ordered a size too large but wanted slim legs/gigantic waist (bought a 33)...guessing theyll get delayed in the thanksgiving shipping madness as they are shipping out tomorrow.

i'd be interested to hear if they really are the same denim but with diff. selvage...either way, zimbabwe really makes a difference and i'd say the softness of all ive felt (rjb, fullcount, momotaro) are equally awesome/comfortable!

[S-Town]

The XX denim looks awesome!!

Are the front pockets small on Fullcounts?? One of the Rakuten listings seemed to indicate that.

Never had I even given front pocket size a second thought until I bought a pair of Momotaro 1005SP. Can barely get my hand in there, even when they are not being worn.

[Flash]

on the 1109's the front pockets are quite small but on other models (1108, 1101, ect) there the same as any other pair of jeans

[S-Town]

thanks Flash! very good to know as i think i'm leaning in the direction of 1108.

[jstavrin]

How does Fullcount get away with including a tab?

I have to agree with flash. To me it is also perfect denim.

so what size do i do on the 1108's? help me come on man pls

[aho]

^ed, u crazy mang...haha

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Ed, take size 29. they will mold to your wonderful shaped body!

@aho: i have MaxPower's 1653 ltd lying around here. I really can't understand why some people like such low rise jeans unless you are a girl of course

I don't think the denim is really the same. I could compare it again but as the 1653 ltd is already hot washed twice and every batch of denim differs a bit, I'm not sure I can give a clear answer. I also remember Gordon saying these are different.

[Max Power]

Speaking of my 1653...send them to me plz ;-) And in fact it's an unwearable cut for me, too lowrise and short, yet the nicest denim around.

[aho]

b_F my man thanks for the clarification...i do have a womanly figure, big waist and chicken legs so it's a perfect cut for me...haha!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

:D

I'm sure you will look hot in them

and Flo, you know where I live. Come visit me!

[Maynard Friedman]

b_F my man thanks for the clarification...i do have a womanly figure, big waist and chicken legs so it's a perfect cut for me...haha!

aho,

When you post those fit pics, please remember to include a few shots of your cameltoe! :-)

[Flash]

Just took a few pics to compare the denim on my 13.7oz 1108 and my new 15.5oz 1109

The biggest difference is the rough texture on the 15.5oz denim compaired to the smoother hand of the 13.7oz denim ( not saying the 13.7oz denim has no texture just that it feels alot smoother were as the 15.5oz almost feels like the cotton fibers are shorter like texas cotton )

Everything just seems a little bigger on the 15.5oz

Ill try and get some fit pics up tomorrow

[kenzie]

if I may: low rise jeans are great for people with my kind of body (tall and skinny). the low rise means I can buy jeans that are closer to my true size and get the fit I want. with higher rise jeans, I would either have too big a thigh measurement or too small a waist measurement (with proper waist or thigh measurements, respectively). I have a pair of the 1653ltd, for example, and the measurements feel just right for me. unfortunately, they don't get much attention because I really only wear one pair of jeans at a time.

[demonator]

no seriously what size?!?!

[akka225]

can someone start a poll?

[OkayamaDenim]

Hey Flash, the 1108s look amazing!

[Flash]

Thanks mate

Unfortunately im gonna have to sell the 1109's , there a little too slim for me

For anyone who is interested pm me

[BrownMetallic]

^Flash__what size are those 1109s?

@kenzie_ what size are your 1653LTDs? i'm looking for W31.

@aho__ i hope you sized down on the 1653LTD. BiG used the deadstock denim roll from the contest run, so they're the same exact denim. the denim stretches out quite a bit. i sized SD1 to W32 on my 1108C ... & it's SD1 from there for the 1653LTD due to the construction of the top block, W31.

***edit: sorry had to push the bottom half of the post to the next

If I was going for Fullcount, I'd get some 15.5oz XX ones - this is about the perfect weight for me I hope that the denim on my 15.7oz Zim cotton Momotaro 0901s isn't too dissimilar.

got a comparison post on Momo 701 vs FC1108C from awhile back:

[xposted from the evo thread]

i came across my Fullcount 1108C while organizing my closet yesterday. had too much time on my hand, so i took them out & laid side x side with the Momo 701 to compare. both were around 15.5oz, deep dark indigo [when new] & slow to fade. i was genuinely surprised how so much similar both pairs evolved. [***pix are from my library_ dont have a working camera, currently].

... & these regarding down-the-line fade results, including the Skull:

'thought i'd take comparative pix of how certain Okayama-made denim' date=' no matter what brand or [/size']route you take them on, wind up with similar-looking hues/fades down the line. i suspect it's the kind of indigo grown & used in the region__ having similar dye properties

FC 1108C :: Momo 701 :: Skull 5010 6x6
