Full Count Denim Thread

[Sugar Mountain]

If you like the top block and thigh room of the new 1001 but want a smaller hem, do check out the Fullcount 1101 before making your decision. It's a really nice cut overall.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Flash: great fit there! how are the painted arcs doing?

 

I'm with Sugar Mountain. The 1101 might be the better option. The 1108 is rather tight in the top block/hip/thigh region

[Flash]

Thanks mate

the arcs are holding up well , ill get some pics up when I get home

[Broark]

I'll have to look more into the 1101.

The one wash measurements from BiG look perfect, but the raw measurements look a bit big.

I'm assuming it's not too difficult to get full shrinkage out of Fullcount denim?

[setterman]

BiG's measurements for one wash should be very close to max shrinkage (1/4").  Three trips through the washer should get all the shrinkage out.  FC shrink to tagged or just below, and easily stretch out to the raw waist size.  

[Broark]

Good to know.

Now just to track down a raw pair in my size...

[S-Town]

Prolly a long shot, but does anyone have a lead on a 2013 1100-05 pair in size 34???  I'm guessing most have been snatched up already.  The usual retailers look to be sold out...

[Broark]

Don't think this was posted but on the FC blog there are some persimmon dyed 1108's and they look great!

There are some more pictures here too: http://www.fullcount.co.jp/blog/2014/03/post-377.html

'been awhile since the last FC collab.

any chance you guys up for another run?

 

how about keeping it simple?  i'm firm with 2 & 3.  i'm flex w/ the other details.

 

1) 1101 or 1108 cut

2) 'Wild" Zims

3) 15-17ozer

4) Donut buttons

5) Stealth poly-cotton arcs [to keep them longer]

 

broached the idea to Gordon when i swung by @BiG for a special order  ... dint say yes,  but dint say no either.  

if we can give him a concrete number of interested parties,  maybe we can sway it to a yay

^ahahaha!

 

...down.

 

FWIW, they're out of the wild cotton fabric and I don't think they'd make a new fabric for a smaller BiG run. We'd need need a big number though to make it worthwhile for Gordon (100+ pairs?), unless he already had something in the works for BiG specifically ala the 1653 with the old contest denim. I'm always down for group buys though!

[Jared_Lee]

BrownMetallic, I'm down for 15 oz. 1101 with a second vote for both 4 & 5 on your list. I'm not keen on heavier if I have a choice, but I'm flexible. Count this as a yes.

[BrownMetallic]

I think around 15.5oz like on the green-lined contest ones would be quite fabulous.

Wild Zim cotton is quite uncommon (especially @heavier weight than the 13.5oz). There has been some interest here & there. Having serious discussions might stir up more interests & consolidation.

Around 50 should be encouraging ... maybe we can come up with a partial up front to show group's solidarity & commitment. Anyway, $$$ talk is too early. We'll see if we can muster critical mass first.

[redragon]

Am definitely down for a collab pair.

Never had an fc, perfect timing.

[whackedout]

I would be down also, agreed perfect timing! If it does happen this is where my bonus is going to go too, that and the Warehouse 660.

[Bill_e_jean]

great idea, i´m also interested on a 1108 collab!

[Broark]

Count me in for sure!

[bradl]

Yeah, I am in. The heavier the better for me.

[Broark]

I'd love somewhere around 15 oz., and if we could get the wild cotton that would be awesome too.

I'd be happy with either cut, 1101 or 1108.

Maybe we can make a competition out of it. 

[Foxy2]

Down for a 1108...

[Flash]

im interested , if they still have some of the 14oz us cotton denim that would be cool

[Broark]

14 oz. US cotton would interest me too!

[Clochard]

 i´m also interested on a 1108 collab    (zimbabwe cotton only!)

[whackedout]

Red tab? I like itty bitty little details like that.

[Clochard]

With WWII buttons 

[Maynard Friedman]

0105 cut for those of us with athletic builds

[Jared_Lee]

^ That's why you should be joining me in the push for 1101! 1108 pattern just doesn't work for me. 1101 and 0105 are close enough by BiG measurements to beg the question, "What's the difference?" I have a 30 in 0105 and would gladly take a 31 in 1101 to fit just about the same.

 

For those asking for US cotton, that's a point he was "firm" on. Get over it. The less complicated we make this as interested parties, the more realistic we make the possibility of the jean being made.

[garden gnomes in space]

think the leg doesn't taper as much.

Id be down for a 0105 or 1101.

[BrownMetallic]

Yeah, last contest collab had 2 lots, 1108 & 0105. Gordon had remaining I nventory of the latter even long after the contest was over. 'Dont think he'll be inclined to take that route again.

1101/1108 would be a more feasible prospect, IMO.

As for WW2 buttons & tabs, that should be so doable.

Wild Zim is the main thing & why I'm here for in the 1st place

Edit:

I realize the 1101 are quite similar to 0105 cut ... will re-try both on in person when I get a chance to stop by this week

[Sugar Mountain]

I'd love to see a 1101 cut with wild cotton and some special details. Would definitely be down for a FC contest.

Took some pics of my 1100-10 after about 2 months wear
