kotmj, big thighs cannot fit into 501XX 1947. I have a pair.
but you can try your hand at many online stores (even Levi's online) cultizm.com will get you what you want. Remember it shrinks 2" arond the waist. |

I think the only type of jeans I would buy online are those I can try out beforehand in person. This means only Evisu (at Parkson Pavillion or any B&B).
Maybe I can find some reason to go to Singapore someday. |

there isn't much of a reason to try beforehand, because they shrink to fit anyway, you're going to size up 2"

It's incredible the Malaysian market is so primitive when it comes to selvedge jeans.

goldlion, it's an awesome pair of jeans. If you don't have big thighs from the gym, I would suggest 1108 which is a better fit and would fade with wear better (the 0105C is a bit straight and anti-fit).
All in all, good classic fades. Not grainy like Warehouse, which is also desirable to some! Check out the Fullcount contest thread in Superfuture. I haven't been wearing mine to bits because I'm constantly bogged down by exams (gym also no time, friends also no time). I recommend them! |

mofonyx, cheers for the info. i'm actually kinda sick of slim/skinny jeans at the moment. breaking in raw slim denim in KL is a real b****. now i'm looking for something loose and soft to break in. that's why i wann try FC.
the 0105C sounds pretty much like what i'm looking for atm. is that the model u have? the sufu FC contest is mainly the 1108 only innit. haven't seen the other models in there |

@goldlion: There are 0105Cs but they don't fade as well cos of the looser fit, so they aren't getting as much attention/posts as the 1108C.
If you feel you like the looser fits then sure go ahead! 0105C is a great vintage fit. I reckon it's after the '55 or '44 Levi 501 silhouette. @oki-ni: I'm not very fond of the term slubby. What does it mean exactly? It is hairy, though, with leg twist. I've soaked it twice. Shrinkage is quite significant but it stretches back to a good comfy fit. I would probably soak again tomorrow or day after! |

yea most FC threads in sufu are all on the 1108, nothing much about their other models. right now am looking at either the 0105 or 1101 model.
