Full Count Denim Thread

[604_skyline]

who is Miki? and what is the name of his shop?

[setterman]

He's the owner of fullcount.

[Sugar Mountain]

Ed, is it possible to commission a special edition 1101 as a Lost&Found version for your shop and then we can run a little contest off the back of it? Winner gets a box of Bronuts!

[Broark]

I like your thinking!

[S-Town]

Any top secret info on what the 2014 WWII cut will be???

[whackedout]

Just saw the new denim miki San posted on Instagram. Any info on those?

[Sugar Mountain]

I guess the only information is what he says in that post: 18oz,''covert'' (indigo x white) weft, USA cotton. Intriguing!

[bradl]

Reminds me of the marbled weft on the r400, but not nearly as slubby on the front side which is nice.

just a pic of my 1100-10 , the denim is starting to show a little more character

 

 

[Sugar Mountain]

I keep on meaning to ask: is the denim the standard 13.75oz on this model?

[Flash]

no mate , its a 16.5oz Australian cotton denim  

[SLAB]

small update on my 1101's; worn from September; probably my pair that is most difficult to fade

[Flash]

looking good mate , love the 13.7oz denim

[Sugar Mountain]

That denim may be hard to fade Slab, but you've made good progress on that pair. Any washes yet?

[bradl]

Looks like good progress to me, it's at that perfect colour of blue right now.

[Broark]

Does anyone have a contact email for Denimio?

I sent them a note last week through their inquiries link but no response.

Still wanting a pair of 1108XX's!

Usually just go to the bottom of the page and click the about us and they will have their email listed there.

[Broark]

Thanks Brad, I should've done a bit more digging.

[SLAB]

so far only twice washed (machine at 30 degrees Celsius)

[nycsurfer530]

My FC1101 probably around 2 years of wear

[Broark]

Looking good, I'd like to see some fit pics if you've got them.

Torn between the 1101 and 1108XX cuts. The 1101 seems like it would be a bit better cut for me but the XX denim seems a bit more interesting.

Just lucky you didn't ask this question back in the early days, would've gotten ripped apart.

 

Ed, need a report back on if anything has happened! Holding off on a FC purchase until I hear more.

I'm interested in hearing if anything will happen too Ed!

Actually, the signature 13.75oz denim is really interesting in that you won't find another denim out there like it. It's soft and pliable more or less from the outset and yields a beautiful shade of vibrant blue and impressive vertical fading when it starts to crock. It really is something special.

 

What makes the Osaka 5 companies fascinating for me is how they all approached the same classic item, the Levi's 501, in such different ways with such a different final interpretation. In the case of Fullcount, it seems to me that Miki's vision was to create a denim that feels like a heavily worn-in pair of vintage Levi's right from the beginning - like your favourite pair of jeans. 

 

Of course the XX fabric is also by his hand and certainly no less a denim (I will probably pick-up some 0105XX in a year or two) but don't underestimate the flagship denim. You'll see what I mean once you start wearing it!

[Broark]

Thanks for those points Sugar Mountain.  Maybe I should go with the flagship Zimbabwe denim to start with my first pair.

Plus that weight would be even better for the summer here.

I want to wait to see if we can get any info on the special edition pair first!

That's only seven months.  They look great, and are coming along pretty good for that (IMO) short amount of time.  

[the spirit]

Looks like Fullcount's got a full-on pair of skinny jeans now.

 

Model 1110Z

[Broark]

Heard back from Denimio, they're trying to get a pair of 1108XX raw for me and also waiting to see if they can get a pair of 1101's.

Decisions decisions...
