Full Count 2009 Contest Redux

[Denim Phenom]

On another note, my pair and I are going to be in Hawaii for the next week for our honeymoon (with the wife, not the jeans). Hopefully some more fit pics will ensue now that the fabric has settled down a bit.

Where are you going to be in Hawaii and when are you arriving? I live on Oahu though i'll be in Utah/California from 23 Feb- 06 Mar.

Big island, and we arrive this afternoon. 4 nights on the kona coast and 2 on the hilo side of things.

I here it's a lot nicer there and less crowded. Avoid Oahu if you can.

The Aloha spirit means getting things done at a snails pace. Just remember that and you'll be good to go.

okay,personally after seeing the pictures myself, i think the jeans are a bit too short. lmk what you guys think. 1108 inseam shrunk from 34" to 31"

btw thanks for the tip Moyyky, thats what I might just do, stretch an inch or two out of the inseams

[Mich]

SLAB first of all the fit is great!

When uncuffed the lenght is good, but cuffing them makes them a little on the short side, with boots like those RW's or White's that look works great imo.

With sneakers you best wear them without a cuff.

If it bothers you, like's been said just wet them again and stretch the inseam out, how long are you btw? (in cm)

Mine are in the machine as we speak, just soaked them for 2 hours in the hottest water available from the tap.

I'm really curious how they'll come out, especially about the inseam although with 35,5" it's longer to begin with then on your pair.

[almostnice]

This is how i wear my lvc 47,its just the right lenght with boots.I do also pull the inseam while wet,1" is always doable.As I want to be on the safe side I ordered the 0105 with a 37" inseam,hopefully I will wear them in about 2 weeks;)

[mofonyx]

My jeans already landed in UK. Amazingly quick eh by DHL.

Anyway, Johnny told me that my pocket won't be marked but I'm #030.

I'm thinking of marking it #888 just for fucks.

[exhausted]

lol, are you chinese?

[maxdesu]

ahhhh

I'm going to go with half of sufu and beat myself up for not joining

[exhausted]

alright, I think my pair fits a bit too loose around the waist/seat area and I would like to trade to a 31 0150 if possible, if not I might sell it after awhile.

My ass fit right now is very bubbly..

My pair is 32 0105 with 31" inseam, PM me if interested

man, that's cool. congrats to you and mrs. daveo! enjoy your honeymoon.

[selaviso]

daveo get off sufu and enjoy yourself!!!! your in paradise haha. sufu will be here when you are back. oh how i miss hawaii.

[demarco]

I went over to a special lady friend's house tonight and she asked me why my hands were so blue. I've been washing my hands so often and I still see the blue running off my hands in the sink. I've done a hot soak and a machine wash.

and I also tapered these. Yeah, I know...

[selaviso]

oh nice we are gunna need some pics i wanna see that taper job. did you get the 1108? or 1105?

[SLAB]

Mich & almostnice, thanks for the comments. This weekend i'll try to stretch the inseams a bit. It's mostly because I'm not used to wearing my jeans so short; usually have a cuff of almost 2" with my raw denim. How do you guys go about? just make them wet/moist and pull them with your hands or hang weights on them?

The weird part is that i'm not tall, only 171 cm's. In his mail Gordon explained that after full shrinkage jeans would end up around 32.5" so I thought that would leave me plenty of cuff but after just a machine wash on 40 degrees celsius, they shrank to a 31"! It's weird that everyone else didn't have as much shrinkage with the inseam

Step evenly on one hem, hands on the waist (of the jeans!) and pull hard. Do this couple of times on both legs. Best results when they're almost dripping wet.

edit: quick measure, my 0105 (13.7oz) has 91cm inseam when stretched. These has been washed two times already. Length supposed to be 86 cm...

Its probably because most did a hot soak so far.In my experience a proper machinewash can alter the fit/lenght of raw denim much more than a soak.

Sorry to bump the thread for something like this, but I created a trade/sale thread for my pair.

[kenthenoob]

put it in your sig for easy check-ups

[mofonyx]

sorry it didn't work out exhausted.

my pair arrived yesterday #030, I will start wearing today. I didn't get measurements because someone else already posted the measurements for sz31. I did measure the waist though, post soak ~80cm

Sorry I don't have pictures. I'm getting pictures taken on Wednesday. Promise.

[H.Bosch]

It would have been nice to get the pre soak measurements anyway since there seems to bee some diffrences especially in the length, some peoples are closer to 34 and some are even over 35 like mine where, could you at least measure the post soak measurements.

I just "hand washed" my pair in warm water without detergent to get more shrinkage out. i would at least like to get a bit off the inseam which were 33 " after the first soak.

[JayFourEyes]

mofonyx, didn't you get your number on the pocket?

[moykky]

^^ Those are sort of a exchange pair, if I remember correctly...

[Mr HaGa]

Yes at first he got sent a 1108 instead of a 0105.

[mofonyx]

Yeap yeap, that's it. I'm just too lazy to bother with the arcs and tabs this time. It's heartbreaking not to have my jeans for even one day!

I'll put in the contest number towards the end. I'm just gonna wear it for now.

If post-soak sz31 measurements would help anyone decide on their pair, I'd be more than glad to get my measuring tape out.

[booyaolian]

^^^^

yes, please measure them

I am just wondering will BiG drop the price back to 225 shipped? I got to this thread after pre-order period and the contest information was wiped in the first page. People should really tell me it's not a black jean when I asked. lol

The jean is def. black in BiG's website.

[mofonyx]

post-soak measurements, in a warm bucket of water for about 3 - 4 hrs

waist 82cm (measured across as 41cm when laid flat)

inseam 82cm

upper thigh 32cm

this was after a day's wear. So I guess they do stretch.

They are genuine indigo black!

This is very problematic situation... I see...

Do you have the 1108? thigh seems 12.5" seems super wide. haha

I donno, the website description didn't make sense to me.

It says indigo, but the pics show black and there's no info in the contest front page. So, I didn't order.

Besides, I don't really know my size that well.

If it's low rise I need about sz 31-32

If it's high rise I need sz 30-31 and I have thick thighs.
