Full Count 2009 Contest Redux

[Denim Phenom]

I re-read the e-mail from Gordon. A tab will be included with each pair. Not sure if it's going to be the standard tab or a contest one. I guess we'll find out.

[mr.invincible]

damn, im interestd. so how much do these stretch and shrink? 2 inches?

[Knugget]

Did my email part. Sized up from 27 to 28 btw mr. invincible.

[mofonyx]

So about the painting, anyone got any advice on how to do it?

I'm thinking Dylon fabric paint, which looks good to me. However, to fix the paint it's suggested that you iron it with a hot iron.

I'm afraid the heat may damage the denim, what do you reckon?

//getting ahead of myself here, sorry

[driftingdunk]

mofonyx,

rattlecan...

Na, i had the same question. It would be nice if full count gave a suggestion on not only what kind of paint, but also how to apply it... and as for the tabs, im guess it will be a DIY thing, which is cool by me..

Anyone have pics of the arc design? or is it a surprise, like the shorter inseam thing... Im so anxious to get these already!

Fullcounts arcs are all over their products on Rakuten still.

Although it was mentioned they could use their normal arcs or there ww2 arcs, and I don't know the diff.

my natural waist size is a 29, should i size down 1 to a 28?

as with any pair of jeans you've ever purchased, i would say the best route is to compare the measurements BiG has supplied with a pair of jeans you own that fit similarly to how you'd the 1108's (?) to fit.

Post-wash measurements (Inseam is 36") taken directly from BiG website..

I don't recall who it was, but there was a suggestion to use something called "fabric medium" with acrylic paint for the arcs. It's all over the internet, but I'll probably head to a local craft store (shudders) to pick some up.

[Knugget]

I'm assuming my natural waist is a 29, and I think I'll be fine with a 28 after accounting shrinking/stretching.

[salaami]

next door neighbor got shot a block from the crib, so ive been offline lately. anyway:

arcs/tab: i deserve arcs and a damn tab as much as any of you all do, so can i get a damn tab? if not ima paint on a fake one...

wait: that sucks, they shoulda checked the jeans before they shipped em. haste makes waste. but @ least now you have enough '' make-up '' leverage to get a tab....

sizing: i dont know, these shrink/stretch a lot. my nat. waist is 29, so i guess you can say i sized down 1 to a 28. i wouldnt advise more than that, the 1108 is a slim cut...dont wait extra for jeans that dont fit.

[daveo]

Seriously dude? Why even have contests if everyone can get the features that make the contest jeans special?

[mr.invincible]

I cant even go for a size 27 even if I wanted to!

[Knugget]

Pre-order is up..so jump on it before it closes.

[almostnice]

If somebody ever earns an extra tab its salaami.Answering even the simpliest question and sharing his knowledge!

[scoon0224]

Its a limited run... there's no 'everybody'

in fact, even with more made to the 36 length, I'm sure it'll still be under 100 pairs.

A mistake was made at the factory.

Fullcount will be producing 36 length pairs for those who insist.

Blue and Green will sell the left overs.

Should the extras be destroyed instead?

you dumb bro? a contest isnt organized just for the jeans....ITS FOR WHAT THE NIGGAS DO TO THE JEANS.

the people that commit one year to the jeans make the contest special...make the denim special.

[mr.invincible]

i wonder how many are so far and the official contestants list.

I guess Ill make up my decision by this week

[chambo2008]

mr check your pm!! need your paypal

[SLAB]

mr. invincible, stop procrastinating and jump aboard!

about sizing; i ordered the 1108 and sized down 1.

[frostanubis]

i ordered 1105 sized down one to 31 from nat. 32

[daveo]

Geez people, I'm not talking about the spare pairs, I'm talking about giving out arcs/tabs to non-contest folks.

[Denim Phenom]

Gordon is going to control the arcs/tabs so if anyone who isn't purchasing a contest pair would need to get in touch with him.

[driftingdunk]

i think this was mentioned before:

Do we have a definite list of contestants? I think there was one in the old post, but i cant seem to find that post..

There isn't one. When you receive your jeans, send me a private message and i'll add you to the list.

We'll come up with an official start date, take the newspaper pictures and go from there.

[driftingdunk]

Cant wait till Gordon sends out the "they're here" email..

[selaviso]

Hi Michael,

I received the package of tabs, its the red ones found on the standard FC models so I’ll include one with each jean.

Regards,

Gordon
