Fit pics

[tvshooter]

^man i'd +rep if i could. that fit is perfect.

[Mr HaGa]

^Yes indeed, perfect fit. That's an 1108 right? Or a 0105 sized down a couple?

[Mr HaGa]

keep the pics coming!

[Snake]

Thanks tvshooter & Mr HaGa. It's 0105, I sized down one from my true waist. I have an odd body shape. My hip is almost as wide as my shoulder. Not exactly flattering but works great filling out a vintage cut jean.

[setterman]

Bump, with today's half assed pic.

[setterman]

for whatever reason, the wear at the thighs and knees always photographs very white

[emmitbrown]

I'm about to wash them for the 3rd time. I'll post some fit pics after the wash.

[salaami]

damn, everybody's jawns are looking good

[Lendo]

seriously.

fc's will more than likely be my next purchase when the time is right.

[salaami]

man, you already got momos, 660s,LVCs,pbjs, and RRLs to break in. but a pair of raw FC is a welcome addition to any fine wardrobe...i'm so glad this contest exists, cause before now FC denim for whatever reason was kinda sufu slept-on. now cats can see that they are no doubt on par or better with all the other brands we love so much.

[tvshooter]

Lendo- you are brilliant man. excellent choice. seriously, i need to get up there and meet up w you cats. Everyone's stuff is lookin gooood. I'm off to go drink cheap beer and see Deke Dickerson tonight. . .

[salaami]

shit it's whenever man, lendo lives in my old hood, so we ain't far apart. he's a busier man than i at the moment, so if you 2 plan a sufu-VA meetup i'll be sure to go grab poopslush and we'll come to eat,smoke and be merry.

[tvshooter]

just got home from the Deke show. got pic's on my gf's camera. no of me, but who cares. will post later. . .

[setterman]

damn, everybody's jawns are looking good

And some are looking damn good!

I've been trying to +rep some people, but for whatever reason I've been unable too. Thank you those that have given me rep, and I'm trying to give it back.

[Snake]

Bumping this thread with some pics.

[salaami]

look@the back pocket stitching, the way it it sewn. look at how close the stitching comes to the edge of the cloth, superb and the width maintained between the 2 rows of stitching is perfect.

[exhausted]

Alright, so I decided to grace you guys with some pics tonight.. (I don't think I ever posted pics besides my initial fit pics..)

I will post some updated fit pics later on... They're 0105 size 32 (TTS), although they're always 33 at the waist after wearing them...

3-4 washes, forgot the exact number...

Hi,

Back right pocket (my wallet)

Look at my avatar for how the arcs were when I painted them...

Some honey combs

The other leg

[exhausted]

Stupid 10 pics limit..

To be honest, the reason why I made this post is to ask you guys how to repair these jeans, I used to bike a lot in these and the stitching at the crotch are all but gone... There's also a rip near the ass...

The crotch can be opened!

Ass rip

What should I do? How to repair?

[salaami]

welcome to the club!i called BiG yesterday and i was told the best way to repair a crotch is to patch it with circular piece of denim. i wanted to send mine to them to fix my blowout but the dude said they were backed up/too busy right now. he recommended denim doctors. your shit isn't tragic as it could be, but i'd advise from experience that prevention is better than cure. for right now you could probably just do like mr. haga showed a few pages back. just loop a thread around the inseam to hold the shit in place. but you will have to get the shit fixed eventually.

[H.Bosch]

Exhausted: do you have access to a sewing machine, that isn't that difficult to repair i think.

[exhausted]

I was thinking of using some denim from the hem to patch the crotch, but I don't have enough to make a circular patch...

if I just patch along the ripped inseam from inside, do you think it's enough?

I do have access to a sewing machine..

[almostnice]

apart from the inseam you must patch the worntrough denim from the inside otherwise it will ripp very very soon.

[salaami]

that's exactly what happened to me. look at the pics i posted not too long ago, and you can see how i reinforced the fuck out of the inseam, and the backseam, but the little holes+areas where the denim was thinning was basically the C4 that caused the explosion. a chain is only as strong as the weakest link. just when you think your'e safe, B:eek::eek:M!!!.

These are a bit too contrasty for my liking, but here's my progress:

Train tracks/falling

Key Pocket

Wallet Pocket/Patch

Back Belt Loop

[Mr HaGa]

I need to wash these again soon, they're so dirty and stretched out... Kneebags are out of control too.

I also got some thread from Gordon so I can repair the rest of my crotch...
