Fullcount denim
-
I love FC denim, that's the main reason I got it. It feels very soft and light, like a real denim jacket. A nice change from all the heavy stuff. I am a lot into vintage feel these days and it fits perfectly. Also got my 1101 hemmed and ready to be worn.

FC Tuxedo: 1101 (hemmed to 34,5") & Type II.

Great!!! But the Tuxido would look smarter with the chucks or vans

haha, I won't wear it like this, I prefer to wear at least a jacket and pair of Jeans in different stages of Evolution. Or chinos. By the way, let's see a Picture of your pair!

I'm currently wearing raw 1101XXs in sizes 30 and 31 and raw 1108XXs in size 33 (these suitably cuffed due to the L36 leg) and raw Type 1 and type 2 jackets in the XX 15.5 oz denim. I have washed some size 33 1101XXs a few times. They have shrunk but then stretched again with wear. However, my oldest FCs are only 6 months old so I don't know whether the shrink/stretch pattern will continue as they age and are repeatedly washed or whether they will gradually shrink over time.
As my size 30 1101XXs, while quite snug, are not uncomfortably tight, I keep on wondering whether I could actually size down to a size 29 in the 1101XXs? However, I keep delaying washing them (and the size 33 1108XXs which are not much bigger in the thigh and should have been washed long ago) so I don't know how shrinkage will affect the fit and length of the smaller waists and shorter 34 legs when they have been washed and long term.
Luckily, I hadn't needed to think about it as there were no raw 1101XXs available in size 29….until now!!! Do I dare take the plunge? I know I shouldn't incur the expense and can't really face the stress and hassle of going for them....or a spare pair of size 30s at the moment. No doubt the thought will gnaw away at me until either I succumb, or they are now longer available again!
Once the object of my desires is no longer available, I will be able to relax again if I have not succumbed to the temptation. I couldn't resist a pair of size 32 IH 634 UHRs on the 12th day of Christmas but I still kept watch on the stock levels as I guessed there would be close of model offers. I was away last week when @Giles took his stock clearance decision and now they are all gone in my size, which is actually a relief as I still have unworn pairs.
The XX 15.5 oz Full Count denim is something really special in my opinion. May be I have now found the perfect pair of jeans…or is that a pair of 1101XXs in size 29???

Two weeks ago, I bought the last size 34 of the 1108 from Vater & Sohn. One-wash with great roping. Nice slim straight fit, just love these!

@ Jcmx800 Yeah we should. Bring your FCs then! All pigs must die would be the next firm date, but maybe we can manage before that.

Has anyone ordered the rigid 'Extreme' 14.5 oz 25th anniversary editions of the Type 1 jacket, 0105 jeans or 1108 jeans? So far as I can see, the denim is very thinly dyed. Does this mean that it has mega fade potential? I would be very interested to hear more information about this and what 'Extreme' is supposed to signify. On the other hand the £ implications of 1 jacket, 1 0105 (significantly undersized) and 1 1108 will be 'Extreme' in themselves (particularly as I await further undersized 1101XXs - I can't get enough of this denim!).
-
I pre-ordered the 1108 from Bears one week ago but haven't got a confirmation yet.
-
Thanks @beautiful_FrEaK . I am also tempted by the 1108s. I've got some 1108XXs and size 33 is good for me in the thighs and very soft after washing. Do you have any info about what 'Extreme' signifies, or about the characteristics of the denim generally? The largest size for the Type 1 jacket is 40, which is too small for me - they don't seem to be doing a 42.
-
I don't know more than what can be found on Full Count's website. So sorry, can't help you. We'll find out eventually
-
Thanks. I never thought to look at the FC website - it usually ends up with baseball. I will try to find it again and see what it says.
-
I just checked and the jeans and jacket disappeared from the website…strange. But you can find also the info here:

Will also try to get the 1101 in the anniversary denim, if I can. They look indeed a bit brigther than the Standard and especialy the XX models, but the standard denim is also rated "very light dyed" in the bears shop rating.
-
I haven't seen the 1101 in the anniversary denim, only 1108 and 0105. Yes, I noticed the standard 13.7oz is classified as thinly dyed as well. I have only got the XX and I am very pleased with them even if they are heavily dyed. I tend to buy by the thigh size. I've got some 1108XXs in size 33. The thighs are a good fit but I think I will be able to get into size 32. I'm just comparing measurements for the anniversary 1108s against those for the 1108XXs I've already got. The thigh looks the same. I've gone really extreme in the 1101XXs, which have bigger thighs. I'm wearing size 30 comfortably and size 29 is on its way over. I don't like a waist which is too big or puckers with a belt on.
