Fullcount denim
-
i've been looking into getting a pair of 1108's for a couple years now, but i just have been too busy with all of the rest of the jeans i have waiting and/or needing attention. great pics! makes me want them all the more!
-
You realy should get a pair deadendpro the 1108 is a realy nice cut , the back pocket placement puts some people off but it doesnt take long to get used too
Sorry about the lighting , hate takeing pics at nightTook this pic in natural light to give a better idea of the denim texture
-
that is a great fit!
I think the problem with the backpocket placement is worse on the bigger sizes. You are size 30 or so, right? In your case it looks excellent!
One day I should try a Fullcount too (was very close to order a pair) but I know that the denim is really different to what I mainly own and prefer. -
No problem. But thanks a lot for the offer!

Very nice b_F… Just look at the construction - there's so much detail. Full Count 1108s are definitely on my wants list for some day, although I'm more attracted to the lighter weight denim of the standard model. Could be an excellent hot weather jean.

yeah it really could be. Flash could answer this, I'm sure. I still like some thicker/heavier denim. I own a pair of Red Cloud 13,7oz denim and they say the RC and FC denim is similar.
And I really like all this detailing those repro brands do.

@ BF
Have you ordered those mate , i was thinking about getting a pair of the 1109xx but i tjink ill wait untill tokyo next year before i buy any more jeans
@sugar mountain
the standard 1108s are perfect for warmer weather ( bear in mind i live in belfast northern ireland )
The denim is a pretty tight weave but it breaths realy well -
No I haven't ordered…but I will later this year. I'm just about to move and get a job...those thing have priority

I always thought this post by the legendary ringring on Sufu about FC was a good one…

ringring, you have a pair? any notes on the details?yes, i have a pair. details are pretty much per my previous post. i guess much of the appeal, lies in the fit, which is lower rise, 66 style slim fit, and the truly wonderful redcast denim. for those who value history, i know a few denimnerds who have bought them also due to the original mccoy lineage. they also seem to be a rarity.
on the flipside, the donut fly buttons are a bit cheap looking.

do you mind if i ask what sets the fullcounts apart?as the replies above, the fullcounts have curved back pocket openings (as well as the beautiful subtle curve of the inner edge of the patch pocket) and multiple thread sizes, colours and stitch counts (including the beautifully dense stitching done using a fine yarn on the fly front and back pockets - stitching that would grace a fine shirt).
more refinements include the peek-a-boo selvedge on the 5th pocket, the ridged belts loops, although by no means exclusive to fullcount.
it's small details like these that gives the impression that whoever designed these jeans decided to go just a little bit further in every direction.
other notable features of the 1108 are the straight hipped cut and the beautiful denim, which, although heavyweight, is so compact that after wear it feels thin. it takes on a shine, even a shimmer and the fine ring pattern reminds me of the falling rain.
they are one of the few pairs of jeans that i would consider buying multiples of, just in case they stopped production.
Doesn't it just make you want to cop a pair immediately?
