Full Count 2009 Contest Redux

[mofonyx]

booyaolian: I have the 0105C. These jeans are built for people who squat at the gym

[driftingdunk]

DP,

Any word if monday is still the lucky day?

[selaviso]

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.

they are just dark as fuck dude.

soaking right now... or rather, hot hot washing.

gonna do the tab and arcs AFTER checking the fit (cuz I'm so clever)

[exhausted]

Ok people, it's me again...

I decided to suck up and just wear the jeans so I added the tab.

I was thinking of painting something on the back pocket, but not arcs, can't decide what yet, probably some numbers in chinese, kind of like the evisu world tour

[mofonyx]

well, you could paint your number in chinese.

[frostanubis]

in about a weeks time i found the 0105C starting to slowly fade neone else?

[exhausted]

well, you could paint your number in chinese.

I thought about it, but if I paint "3" and "5" on the pocket, if you read it "5" "3" it means something bad

Thinking of doing "6" on the left and and "3" right pocket (6 and 3 sounds a little like my chinese name)

6 (should be on left pocket)

3

What do you guys think? Too tacky/childish?

[erk]

if i were you i wouldnt do that. i'd just paint the arcs on wwii style if you wanna do some painting. I think the chinese numbers thing is silly and too flashy. I dont like it when evisu paints stuff on their pockets and I don't think yours are going to be any different. nice job on the tab though. looks good.

[salaami]

well, i put on the 1108s to give the WH an airing-out after coming from some pussy. now i cant take em' off. they are fading so well now after the hand-wash, i cant stop now. i love the warehouse, but the FC are so comfy, and the cut is made for me. so i know now i cant do the 3-month&switch thing i mentioned last week.

funny, but i never got blue on anything. i wore white chucks with em' for a week, and no indigo on the heel. maybe the contest denim is made with different dye...

[scoon0224]

I've had mine on ten minutes now after a hot wash yesterday (boiling). I got the original batch, 34.5 inseam, and it's just about perfect.

Fits good. Rise is actually a tiny bit lower than I'd counted on, but still fine. BOY is the denim comfy though. Even straight off a hang dry, rigid as they'll ever be, they're very comfy. Fits pics once they settle down a bit.

[Knugget]

i had a bad dream, my selvage was yellow when i got my jeans in.

[Mich]

For comparison pre soak pics can be found here

I gave them a 2 hour hot soak and a 40 degrees C wash.

pre-soak: waist 35" / inseam 35.5" / thigh 12.5" / knee 10" / hem 8.7" / rise 12"

post soak: waist 33" / inseam 33" / thigh 12" / knee 9.5" / hem 8" / rise 11.5"

So the waist didn't end up at 32" as i was expecting, maybe with the next washes they'll shrink a bit more, i'm a true 33" waist btw.

Strangely they didn't turn the bathtub all blue, i didn't even need to clean it up afterwards, and they didn't get one bit lighter from the wash, and after a days wear my fingernails also haven't turned blue.

These suckers seem to hold their indigo pretty well.

I painted the FC arcs WWII style going a bit over the pockets like on the S3000 Sams.

[H.Bosch]

that is a great fit! +rep

[emmitbrown]

The arcs look fantastic Mich...I can't rep you at the moment.

[Mr HaGa]

^yes, looks great Mich! Nice boots, too. What are they?

[erk]

they look like white's semi-dress, but i could be wrong.

[wesc]

[dandandan]

mich what kind of paint did you use on that?

[exhausted]

I'm having trouble painting the arcs too, I have been trying on some scrap denim but the outcome was not very desirable :/

[Mich]

Thanks to all who repped me!

^yes, looks great Mich! Nice boots, too. What are they?

Like erk already suspected, they're White's sd

they look like white's semi-dress, but i could be wrong.

Good observation

mich what kind of paint did you use on that?

Plain ole acrylic paint, i applied it with a sewing needle (great tip Bosch)

What kind of arcs are you painting exhausted?

[edmond]

hi mich regular water base acrylic paint?

[Mich]

hi mich regular water base acrylic paint?

Think so, it doesn't say so on the bottle but it does say it can be diluted with water, so it seems only logical it's water based.

it has no smell and was very easy to handle.

[SLAB]

mich, great fit + rep!

Yesterday I stretched the hell out of the inseam; well to be honest, i didn't really have to try that hard. They now measure 33" inseam (from 31"), still dripping dry right now but will post new fit pictures when they are dried up

What kind of arcs are you painting exhausted?

Just the fullcount arc, I tried with my acrylic paint but it's not very easy to handle. I tried using the needle but it's not easy to get a consistent stitch-like streak..

I think I'm going to buy some fabric paint today and try again

[Mr HaGa]

Soooo.........

It's the 23rd. Which means that Gordon should receive and maybe even ship out the longer inseams. Right?!?

[frostanubis]

i'm debatin if i should paint them or sew them, or do a combination of both

[lestat]

just came back from BiG... A LOT of FC Contest jeans there
