      I don't know the actual figure, but if I had to guess based on how I recall them fitting, I would say between 15.75-16" right after a soak.

      Also, I'm not sure how tall you are, but be careful not to hem. Unless SE has their FH jeans lengthened specifically for them, the actual length is closer to 36" with at least 2.5" of shrink with successive washes/soaks.

              Agree! How you manage to get the jeans to pop from your thighs but then run straight just amazes me. Perfect!

                Thx a lot Snowy, those 60's based cuts are really nice. I believe the secret of popping from the thighs are my really slim legs 🙂 thanks man

                Cheers,

                  It's the 3009 cut. There's quite an intense taper down to the hem and I highly recommend soaking twice, as it really slims up hip through to the thigh.

                    Soak with agitation to ensure the get the shrinkage out. Flat Head denim is super dark so you won't lose colour by doing this.

                      I wont soak them again for a while as I change trousers almost everyday and have too much denim lying around to give some love too. I am aware how flathead denim behaves. thx a lot guys 🙂

                        That was more for Clint's benefit than yours, David.

                              Thanks for the cut tips davito / Shoreman. I've had a pair of flatheads on my to pick up list for a few years. Will pay more attention to the 3009 cut to try for a similar sillouette on my next purchase, whichever the brand may be.

                              @davito, I've been in love with the '47 cut for a LONG time, maybe it's time to come forwards to the '60s 🙂

                                Nice Snowy mate you do already have a 60's cut with your 634 😉 which is pretty much similar to the 3009. 🙂 🙂
