    Agreed. I have the western version. So nice. Love the discharged TFH on the inner placket.

    Think it, be it.

      I have the work shirt version and can attest to its badassness.

          Wait til you guys see the beige version that just came out…

          Ben, what's the wear time on your 3009s?  I've been in my 1001s for over four months' real wear time (extremely hard wear, I might add) and they're about the same color/texture as that.

            I've seen it, beige with red paisley. Cool.

                  About a week shy of 4 months. In the beginning I washed them at the first month and monthly was the plan, but since then I've become increasingly carefree about my wash pattern. I would say about every two weeks (sometimes 1) they get a wash. I've never had a pair of jeans that I could wash and not worry about shrinkage or uncomfort after so I've kind of been goin a little crazy… I don't have much combs but to be honest I don't really like how they look and I'm getting some wicked tracks.

                  It's also nice not to worry about how many times I've washed or blah blah blah... But I agree with you that it is useful for interested people who are dropping loads on denim for the first time. I really think that "not caring" to the extent that you criticize others for it is an attempt to seem macho when you really ain't.

                  I'm going to post some more pictures around spring break (2 weeks) that accurately reflect how they look. Should be fun!

                    GMB I get your point, but that's a little beyond each to their own, which is what you were trying to go for. I'm glad your enjoying your jeans :).

                    CS, Keep enjoying yours. I hope to pick up the paisley in either Nagano or Osaka next month….

                      Picked up a 7007. Cold soaked it and man talk about shrinki-dink. Arms lost over an inch. Fine by me.

                      The denim is coarse, hairy, slubby, and neppy. Should age beautifully.

                      Think it, be it.

                        Mclaincausey the 7007 fits just right on you. Just epic :).

                          Thanks man, love it 🙂

                          It's a bit tighter in the torso than I like, but I've come to expect that of TFH shirts that fit the rest of me. And I think that's kind of the look they're going for.

                              Looks great!  That's a really cool shirt and the 12 oz unsanforized denim rules.

                                Looks too tight - have a few shirts myself that didn't work out as planned…

                                You can take a look at the side seams and see if they are felled seams - this would allow a seamstress to give you 1-2cm in total circumference (this might be all you need).

                                  I dunno. I like the fitted look. Always much cleaner. Looking good @Mcclaincausey!

                                    Pretty much all FH shirts are sewn with felled seams, rather than lock stitch seams.  Are you saying, Foxy, that if a shirt's made with felled seams it's theoretically possible to alter it so that it's actually wider? (I guess by opening up the seam, flattening it out, then finishing it with a lock stitch.)

                                      Had this done with 2 of my Samurai shirts - get the felled seam undone, replaced seam with a regular overlock and chain/lock stitch (or safety seam, if combined), finished with a top stitch (chain stitch or lock stitch).
                                      Depending on the folder used for a felled stitch, this could give you some room…if done by pro it should even look OK.

                                      It depends a little on the depth of the new side seam (overlock and chain/lock stitch) - if kept around 5-7mm, it should be below the depth of the original depth of the felled seam (folded) and result in a gain of additional circumference. Not much, but sometimes that's all you need...

                                        It's tempting but even if I trusted my tailor enough with the job I'm not sure I could bring myself to do it.

                                        Think it, be it.
