about Earnest "Fulton" jeans.

[soleindahole]

for anyone has a pair of these jeans, help me out on this. these jeans are pretty rigid. alot drier than my nudie slims. my question is, should i get a size up on these. or do they stretch out true to size after first wash?

these jeans are haute.only thing i can bitch about these jeans are the pre abrasion on front and back of the knees. whoever thought of putting those abrasions should get slapped. the whole point of getting it dry so the user can create its unique whiskering.so when i put these on the damn abrasion on the knees are below mine.not everyone have same lenght on the legs!!! second is the lenght, seems like only one lenght. all seems to be size 34 or 36 inseam?

hear from you guys. peace.

I just got a pair of selvedge filsons which I think is about the same as the fultons. I usually wear a 34, but I got a 33 and they are still a little loose, I'm guessing they will shrink after a wash. But I also have another pair of Earnest Sewn in Hutch (pre washed), size 34, and they fit perfect. So in the end, I guess I can't really answer your question, and I probably have the same question as you.

The selvedge filsons are really nice. Light-weight selvedge and really rigid, good for hotter days, but kinda long.

I'm so self-conscious...

[soleindahole]

these fultons are super rigid. havent had experience with that dry denim before so i dont know how it shrinks or if stretches back to original size after a wash.

[Bing Bing]

Well, I'll let you know when I wash--and vice versa. Cool

I'm so self-conscious...

[soleindahole]

oh also, i havent tried on those filsons dry, are they similar to the fultons? i really like the green seams on the fultons.

[Bing Bing]

The filsons are also really dry and has the OG earnest blue/orange stitching. I haven't tried fultons, but I think the filson was the precursor to the fultons. Both have a straight leg cut. I bet the green seems are sick!

[soleindahole]

yeah theyre also straight leg, i just wonder if the cut is somewhat of a difference. the green seams on the fultons are bad ass. i just wished they didnt have those pre abrasions!

[Bing Bing]

that sucks about the abrasions. here's pics of my filsons. just got them yesterday.

I have the fulton selvedges and they do strech out but i havent washed them yet. Im a 32 and bought a 32 and they work nice.

[sbbbjm]

they will stretch a normal amount -- and i say normal compared to nudie greycasts that stretched out a whole bunch in the waist.

[jdavis]

the filson and fulton are one and the same.

the filson will officially be renamed 'fulton' early on in the new year. this was because of a supposed copyright infrigment with filson bags - they're an established all-american luggage line.

I say 'supposed' infrigement as earnest sewn shapes are named after american writers. the filson is named after john filson, author of Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon.

you should be fine buying your regular size. they do stretch out

oh i see now, about the name change, because i was at my local bloomingdales and sometimes they get exclusive jeans from different desginers. i saw these "futltons" that had pre-abrasions and i thought thats how the the standard fultons looked. i shouldve known because inside the pocket in mentions bloomingdales exclusives.. im trying to find the regular fulton at online shop anyone know a place?

[jdavis]

as for the raw filsons right now you have 2 choices:

- filson 50: line-dryed cone denim with a black half-selvage on the outseam, waistband and full beltloop selvage.

- filson xx: japanese xx red-selvage denim (nisshinbo i think...)

you might even be able to get a retailer who carries them to ship them to you?

[soleindahole]

makes perfect sense, i think thats why the prices dropped on the filsons on some sites? because of the name change?? hey jdavis filson xx and filson 50 both dry? because im after a dry denim.

[soleindahole]

these new fultons bloomingdale exclusive, have these green seams they used on dark dry denim. it looks crazy, i like it,but again those pre-abrasions on it. really flattened the sails. i wish they make that style standard withought all the pre-abrasion and it would be haute. i guess they wanted to make it more fancy for bloomingdales.

[Bing Bing]

I dunno what's up with the pics, when I posted them at first they worked, then when I came back to the thread they didn't work ???!!!

Aaaiight, I fixed them shits.

[jdavis]

the filson xx is dry and unwashed, while the filson 50 is washed once and left to line-dry. it also has a very light resin prep. but both are preshrunk and have comparable indigo dips.

if you buy the filson 50, make sure its a second generation model - full belt-loop selvege. all the first generation filson 50s cost the same but only have the rear belt loop sewn with selvedge.

both great pants. hope that helps sole

the seams are ill. is that light blue seams or green on the back pockets? btw what model of filson is that? how much did you pay for it at your shop,they seem to be 150+ at most shops...

Edited by soleindahole on Sep 17, 2005 at 12:59 PM

[soleindahole]

thanks j, i think im going to pick up the filson xx, ill look around the net to see where to get them. btw if both filsons are preshrunk then filson xx is not really an unwashed dry? if the filson xx are unwashed dry then would you say they shrink alot more than the filson 50 since its a one rinse>?

[woejozney]

man, i saw those at atrium. They looked pretty nice, but I opted not to buy, definetely a good buy tho.

Oh Gawd!

[jdavis]

what i meant about the xx being preshrunk is that its been shrunk through a process similar to sanforizing. the xx is comparably as dry as an apc or a nudie.

the 50 has been processed similarly, rinsed once, line dryed and resined - to give the denim a very slight slight crinkle. they wear very well.

Nice jeans!

The important thing before I report in... my position.

[Bing Bing]

My jeans are filson XX. I got 'em on sale for $136 off of goclothing.com. Last pair though, I think. Came up on the stups discount tip. Pretty lucky. The seams are powder blue and orange, not green. Can't wait to break 'em in.

I'm so self-conscious...

[soleindahole]

yeah bling, i saw that thread when goclothing had it for 136$ again i missed out!

[JAMAICAxBRASIL]

New to the site...excuse my ignorance.

I recently ordered these filson 50s and they will be my first raw jean. Since they have been pre-washed and line dried how much will they shrink (if at all) after a wash./dry?

Basically when they arrive should i look for them to be fitted (as my other jeans) or losser/larger (to take into account future shrinkage).

cheers
