[SLAB]

Fullcount's Made in China jeans with Chinese cotton. Half the price of MIJ models.

Miki-san's explanation

ha; I kind of understand the reasoning; either its made in Japan by (mostly) Chinese or its made in China by Chinese. Anyway, if they continue to make their premium line in Japan I dont care about this budget line.

Not the same denim but I sized down 1 with my 1108 contest jeans.

I just copped a pair of 1108s from BiG!

How much will the normal 13.7oz denim shrink with a soak??

[chris_n]

not much with just a soak.

[dawei69]

ok, how about a machine cycle wash, and spinned dry?? can i expect around 2.5-3 inches??

[Snake]

FC shrinks to tag size and stretches out very easily. It maybe a good idea to exchange for a smaller size.

[chris_n]

yeah stretches back out quite easily like snake said. if you want a decent slim fit i would size down one.

i like the vintage fit on my fc, so i went TTS.

[dawei69]

sweet! I'm not after a slim fit.... perfect!

thanks in advance

[Mr HaGa]

Most people on the contest did true size in the 1108. That's different denim though....

thanks for the reply, btw how was the denim different?

[Alex3000]

Contest denim was 15oz regular Fullcount is somewhere around 13.5oz

[salaami]

denim is just heavier, and green selvage. other than that the 2 are same. the 15 feels significantly heavier in my opinion, and i've compared the 2 side by side(tv shooter's pair, and my own 1108)

[ajoe]

thanks for the info, im trying to decide between ordering them from green in blue or proxying them from japan.

[tvshooter]

if BiG has them in stock, get it from them. Gordon is great to deal with, fast shipping etc., Also, if you need some extra thread for repairs later down the road, he'll hook you up. just ask. i highly recommend the FC denim!!!

[mlyngard]

1108 13.5oz are my next kop, I hope. And I can't wait. Gordon was saying that there's only two times a year that he can place orders for FC. He's expecting re-stock in the next few weeks, but didn't have a firm delivery week.

Salaami - agreed - those 15oz did feel significantly heavier to me too.

[mlyngard]

crack in a bag.

From latest batch of 1108. Last 31w. No arcs on mine...

[edmond]

wehred you get those?

[mlyngard]

Crack dealer Gordon has a restock

[chris_n]

yessss matt! you'll love!

[salaami]

enjoy me boy!

[s3lam]

Look what the mailman delivered to my door this morning!! Thanks Gordon!

[s3lam]

took a couple quick fit pics pre soak

[mlyngard]

Looks like it's gonna be good. Lucky devil. Got the arcs and tab. Nice ;-)

Looks like the 32s were a good call on those.

Edit - I owe post wash fit pics. Two distinct shrinks (after first soak, and then again after second soak and wash, still more to come I think...)

Love this denim and loving the fit already.

[chris_n]

if they go in a hot wash they'll shrink even more! but they'll stretch nicely

[Knugget]

the fit looks good pre soak. put up post soak when you have the time.

i thought BiG didn't do arcs/tabs???

[s3lam]

Looks like the 32s were a good call on those.

Yeah the 32's fit well except I am afraid the waist may be a tad big but hard to say for sure until I give them a warm soak. Right now the waist measures a tad about 34". Ideally I would like for them to shrink to a 32" then with some wear stretch back out to approx a 33". We will see I guess.

Will definitely post some POST SOAK fits after they go in the tub.

[meader]

Some nice Fullcounts I found on JP Yahoo.

shhhh...

Thanks Chris. My retarded ghetto (coin-op) washing machine only does cold washes. Was contemplating the dryer, which worked nicely on my Eternals.

BTW - this denim is very much like the Eternal and Flat Head denim. Anyone else feeling that?
