The Flat Head

I have both the 3005 (not the Z, but the cut and the denim is the same) and the 1005.  Marginal difference in the feel of the denim.  Both feel like gauze compared to the 634SR!

Gauze …lol...

I wouldn´t go that far. Once worn in a lot softer and lighter - but it´s still a substantial denim

@ricochet:

TFH Z3005 or TFH 1005?
Please help me decide, I want to buy second pair of jeans to rotate with 634sr in coming summer. Free Bandana is nice and 14.5 oz denim probably better 16 oz in summer, but I can’t stand zipper fly. Or 16oz not that much heavier? Or zipper not that bad as I think?
What to do?  ???

I have several pairs of the 1005, I rate them, the 16oz is a good weight.

[ricochet]

Well 1005 it is then, thanks for heads up. Will they shrink/stretch a lot?

[hectic]

I found that a moderately warm wash will lose a lot off the leg length. Waist is fairly consistent with tag size after wash. Not much stretch.

thanks

The difference between wearing the 634SR and any other jean I have ever worn is that the fabric is so dense and tightly woven, it hardly breathes at all, so it retains masses of body warmth.  Honestly wearing a pair of 634S after a pair of 634SR will be a revalation, the 634S really do breathe a lot compared to the 634SR…G

I got a pair of F310 from SENY and gave them an initial hot soak…. i havent started wearing them yet but i tried them on tonight and realized just how snug these things are. They are 11" at the crotch but just 3" below the crotch they drop down to almost 9.5 ... knee and opening are both 8 which is fine. My ass looks like a big denim bubble in these things haha ... wondering if i should try the F380 instead or just see if these stretch out enough to eventually be comfortable. I'm trying to move away from the overly slim/tapered look.

[deadendpro]

^ hahaha, you chose one of their slimmest cuts and you are trying to move away from slim/tapered. nice  regardless of what you choose, you got some great jeans there.

[Splattered]

Yeah i got them based off of someone's suggestions… they didnt have what i wanted in stock so i let them suggest a few pairs and i rolled with it. I already had to sell one of the 3 pairs... the one pair they had that i actually did want worked out great and now i'm on the fence over keeping the F310. They are fantastic jeans... just not sure if theyre a cut i wanna keep. If they stretch out enough in the thigh then i would love to keep them though.
