@henrip said in Fullcount denim:
Does anyone know how hot Full Count washes their one wash jeans? I would need to shrink a bit my 1103W. 2-3cm in lenght, same 2-3cm in waist and trunk and 1cm in hem would be perfect. I’m thinking about washing them first time in 60C and no spinning cycle.
Decided to play safe and try 40C first. I think they’re pretty perfect now.
Waist: 43,5cm->41,7
Rise: 30,5->30,5
Thigh: 30->28,7
Knee: 24,5->23,5
Hem: 20,7->20
Inseam: 82->79Might be that Full Count only rinses their one wash jeans in 30 degrees celcius

@henrip nice that they fit you quite good now! If I remember correctly i once read a article about FC that they wash them on 60 celcius. But they are one wash for sure not a rinse otherwise there should be more starch and stifness in the denim. Also did you wear them a time before washing? They stretch and when you wash them they go back to pre-wash measurements or even a little under that. My experience with one washed or sanforized denim or a combo of these 2 that a piece of cotton always shrink a bit when you wash it the first 2 or 3 times.
A lot of shrink to fit denims talk about that the denim shrinks in the first 2 or 3 washes where usually 1 wash was stated. It’s no exact math but i think it’s always a good thing brand play safe on that part and always gives you a heads up that it could shrink. That’s also why i never buy my pants ‘tight’ and hope they will stretch cause after a few washes i regret that sort of things.

I’m pretty new to unsanforized denim and they’re still bit of a puzzle. First pair was Orslow 105 which I bought used and they haven’t changed a bit during past two years. Second pair was unwashed pair of FC 1108 from Clutch and I managed to shrink them in magical measures only in 30C - complete catastrophe
. Third pair was from Pallet life story (also lightly used so washed atleast once before). Those were too loose in the beginning but I’ve managed to shrink them in 50C very close to a perfect state and they’ve been my favourite pair for the last year. I’m really looking forward to wearing this latest pair of unsanforized denim, the FC 1103 - they might be my new fauvorite pair

@Heavy_blue the measurements were taken before I started wearing them. I wore them for about 15 times for 4-8h per time but I don’t think I managed to stretch them since they were so loose.

Can someone help with sizing on the 0105 13.7 oz model? Is the general recommendation to size down if you're between sizes? Waist measurements are all over the place when looking at different retailers. I'm a 35 in IH888 if that's helpful.

What is your experience with washing the Fullcount? This is a one-wash 1103 32x32, but washed by the store I ordered it from. Will the trousers stretch even more or become a bit narrower with wear and washing? I also tried the 31x32, which has been washed once by Full Count, but it is too tight on the thighs.

Waist will (always) stretch. Back rise usually as well. The rest will usually slim down a bit more over the course of future washes.
