Full Count Denim Thread

[Sugar Mountain]

Hurrah, someone else with the 1101 model! They look like they will be a great fit once soaked and you're spot on about the denim. I'll start on mine full time next month but am wearing them today as I needed something smarter for the office. They're so comfortable and soft and will be great for the summer. Enjoy.

hell yea, welcome to the family.  I personally love both the 13.7 and the xx denim  cant go wrong in full counts in my opinion.  Im gonna take an extended lunch and pick up my 0105's from SESF that got a hem job.  

 

Post up post soak fit pics if you can

[claes]

Thanks guys, can't wait to start wearing these. Hopefully I get to soak them tomorrow.

 

Shout out to and-japan as well, shipping to Sweden was about a week and I didn't have to pay any taxes. Was a bit nervous about that one as this was financially a highly questionable purchase...

Really cool to see more fullcount owners around , welcome to sufu mate

Wouldnt mind seeing some post hem fit pics if you get a chance gnome

[demonator]

could have sized down 1 more on those...

Id say they will be fine after shrinkage

Did you order some fullcounts ed ? Come to think of it you should have a few in your collection already

hi flash i have a couple o fpairs fo fc's in my collection around 7 of them im not wearign them though. haha i have a size 32 1108 brand new just soaked that doesnt fit me you want it?

[Flash]

Crazy ed , Little big for me mate but I'm sure you won't have much trouble getting them sold

[claes]

Was too eager to wait so soaked the jeans this morning, dry now. Quick and lousy pics with the iphone. Happy about the fit though!

 

 

 

Did a 45 minute soak in hottest possible tap water with like 20 minutes of pretty intense (!) agitation by hand. Wouldn't mind just a little more shrinkage, but that will probably come with the first machine wash right? Sorry about the poor pictures but my camera is out of battery and I can't find the charger.

looks good.  Once the denim settles a bit, the fit will clean up.  I finally got my 0105's to submit.  Prior I felt like I  was a walking cardboard box

[Flash]

Fit looks good mate , another soak wouldnt hurt tho .... I allways think its better to get all if not most of the shrinkage out from the start ( but this is just my opinion )

No bother mate

i have a 32.25 inch waist, - if a pair of 1109xx W31 is 33 raw and shrinks to about 31.. will it stretch back out to about 33?

Should I be aiming for a size 31?

The waist stretches out significantly. I would say the waist will stretch back to pre soak measurements fairly quickly.  The waist is the last thing I worry about with Full Counts.  As long as the thigh is comfortable and fits how you want, the waist should be ok, as long as you are not needing 3 more inches of room.

here is a post-soak pic of my 1109xx - not sure what I wanna do.. i thought the inseam would be ok but I may need to hem them which I am not really keen about :/  

 

any thoughts?

Fit looks spot on.  The xx denim is great.  It softens up nicely, and any weird bulging you may be experiencing will go away.  My 0105xx were like burlap lined cardboard for a few days and then they just gave in and draped so nicely.  

 

I say cuff them.  Why are you anti hem?  If it provides you with the fit you want, I say go for it.  I think the slimmer jeans like the 1108 and 1109 look the best with a single 1" cuff.  Thats how I am wearing my 0105's, and it looks great with a low profile shoe like vans or chucks.

Looks good trueblue , there could still be more shrinkage left ( depending on how many you had already done )

thanks

I soaked it once for about an hour in hot tap water.. but after taking that pic I have soaked it again - hasn't dried yet.  Not sure if the 2nd soaking will do too much?

 

I could get it hemmed (non chainstitch) .. I'll see if cuffing looks any good with 'em, but I haven't been keen of cuffing in the past hehe.

 

Be interested to see how they look after they soften up first.. as they are obv pretty stiff at the moment

[Flash]

in my experience it took at least 2-3 soaks until there was no more noticeable shrinkage 

[trueblue]

Ah cool.  Well I gave it a longer soak today.. we'll see what comes of it

[Flash]

im sure they will shrink down more for you mate  , make sure and post more fit pics

[garden gnomes in space]

try to agitate the denim whilst soaking.  I have found that most denim reacts to the agitation rather than just the hot temperature.  If you do get them hemmed, I seriously suggest tracking down someone with a Union Special.  The roping effect is really a nice feature, and in my opinion absolutely necessary.  Might as well go all in, right?  Where do you live?

Hi,

long time lurker on Sufu in general and a follower of this thread,I recently bought some Full Count 1108xx from And,3 days to the UK via DHL,brilliant service!

I'm trying to work out how to post up fit pics but have a feeling I need to up my post count first?

Anyway I'm really pleased with the Full count,always been a LVC 47 wearer in the past but these 1108 are something else.

[garden gnomes in space]

Im not sure if you need to up your post count, but if you have a photobucket account, just copy the direct image link, click the image icon in the reply tool bar and paste the link in there and it should work.
