those look great on you flash! Makes me want to get a pair of 1109xx.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That fit is killer, especially since you have the right frame for it. And the same goes back to you: the Vans look great with them!

oh..and better back pocket placement

[Flash]

@ comicto

Go for it , I'm sure you will love them

Thanks T , as you know I was realy sceptical about the fit at the start ( a bit slimmer than I'm used to ) but I realy do love them now

[comicto]

I'd get them, but just got a pair of rjbxfhxse, and going to partake in the hwdc2 so they will have to wait.

[Flash]

makes sence to wait , after all you only have 2 legs

Calling Aho ....

Did you ever get the BIG collab's ?

[aho]

^flash, Indeed I did get the BiG collaboration but have been tentative about the fit....They are amazing throughout the leg, but given it's my first "modern" pair in a long time, I was taken aback by the rise. Particularly the rear, it barely covers the "crack" region and I feel like they're constantly falling off when I walk (even with a belt!). I guess vintage cuts are just more my thing...It'd be a shame to sell such amazing denim so I'm holding on to them for now!

[Flash]

Yea , the rise is the measurement I pay most attention to

I'm sure you will get used to them

Thanks mate , im realy happy with them now

was in with the misses and there was no way I was walking behind her with an armful of dresses and what not ... So I took myself off side and took the chance to get a decent fit pic . Couldnt go in empty handed so I grabbed the shirt , the fit was great but the finishing was realy bad (loose threads everywhere), ended up leaving with a few pairs of socks

may i know your size ont hose 1108? and what size do you usually wear on other jeans? i like that fit on you quite loose!

[Flash]

Lookin great T , soo stoked to own denim

It will we quite some time before I can put some proper wear into mine so I realy enjoy seeing yours progress

[comicto]

may i know your size ont hose 1108? and what size do you usually wear on other jeans? i like that fit on you quite loose!

thanks demonator. Those are size 31. At the time i bought them I had a waist size of 32, so I sdo on them. I've lost some weight so current waist size is a 31. So all in all current fit is tts.

As far as size in other jeans i'd go for a 31, but my biggest concern especially for the modern cuts is the thigh sizeing.

Hope that helps.

I read through fullcount threads on this board and others but I am a bit confused. I guess one can not take the one wash measurements as an example of how the raw version turns out after normal machine washing?

So, to be exact, will a 1108 in size 36 (raw) shrink and (fast and easily) stretch to tagged size? Or will it stay below/above tagged size. They measure 36,8" in the one wash version.

I pretty much look for a fit like PaulT's. That is really nice! Not too tight in the top block. I hope he doesn't mind quoting his picture...

I actually read flash's advice. But as I said, I am a bit confused regarding other's opinions.

"fullcounts shrink to tag size but stretch a lot so it is advisable to size down 1 from your true waist".

36.8" O/W will not shrink below tagged.

however, it can stretch out beyond 37" if need be .... meaning if pressure is applied.

size info is for those who size down to get slimmer fit. TTS for normal/regular fit.

Glad you like the fit.

I found fitting really simple. I nearly always take a 32; that's what I went for with these. I tried on a one-wash pair first. The 1108 fit pretty much as you expect - fairly slim. I found them a little tight around the crotch at first but they eased. I don't find the waist band particulary stretches (I wear a belt).

So, in conclusion, I sized regularly and that's the result.

Finally repaired my acid holes now (!) and they're looking pretty good. Beautiful jeans.

Thank you, sir! looking forward to see some pictures of yours in the future.

[ETW 360]

Does any store sell 1108xx or 1109xx without the back pocket arcs? Or could they be removed cleanly with a seam ripper?

[HAZARDkid]

^blue in green does

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^this

and they can easily be removed

[Sugar Mountain]

Quite why you would not want those Full Count arcs is another question...

[BrownMetallic]

yeah, i know

1 of my fave arcs. even hand-sewn a pair for the FC contest.

[big truck]

FC arcs are not subtle!

[BrownMetallic]

maybe, but distinctly an old school symbol of the earlier, more obscure jap jeans era when everything was or close to repro ... like the SDA & Flathead old arcs, imo.
