Thanks exophobe. I'm really tempted by their grey 34" denim on sale. And it comes in contrast stitching!  |

Thanks exophobe. I'm really tempted by their grey 34" denim on sale. And it comes in contrast stitching! Their initial kickstarter run of this fabric was identical to the Gustin Slate, which has the blue selvedge ID. The pictures show blue, the description at the bottom says red. If it's the blue it's a really nice denim, I just wish that my Gustin Slates were a slim fit instead of the straight. |

If you're looking at sizing on F&T jeans, the measurements I posted above are for a pair of 34 slims.

marauder - I think they have a fit guide, but I don't think it helps. 32 is a 34 by G standards, 34 is somewhere around a 36. I'm not sure exactly because I've never had G's that big. You definitely get some vanity sizing. A 32 slim F&T is a tiny bit roomier through the calves than the Gustin 33 slim. I wear a 33/34 slim in Gustin (though I'm toying with the idea of *gasp* having a pair I can wash, so I'm checking out the 35 slim here pretty soon), and the F&T 32 came in right where I need it. where's their fit guide? I looked and didn't see it. they've got some nice looking denim but I wished more companies had a detailed fit guide like BOW to make it easier for consumers to buy product. |

You have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and hunt for it. Its placement is beyond dumb. |

hmmm, no cuff measurements are listed. their fit guide kinda sucks only because they offer two different fits for their selvedge denim. It's a little difficult to determine size and fit if they don't have measurements for both styles. |

I posted the slim fit guide in the other F&T thread. I have the straight guide too. I really don't know why they don't post them. Of course they don't know the difference between sanforized and unsanforized either.

Damn, I'm in the market for some new boxer briefs but $29.95 is a lot for one pair.

Of course they don't know the difference between sanforized and unsanforized either. I couldn't find this?  Their fit guide is not even close to being anything close to useful. That's really discouraging and a significant disincentive to me backing anything. |

Has anyone else received their F&T Cone Mills 1968 Indigo's without the RED selvage edge?

Got my "Midnight Deadstock Denim" shirt in. Ordered 2/11, got it 8/10. It fits good, looks like a fader and isn't stiff at all. It will, however, be the last shirt I ever order from them. If I wanted to wait 6 months, I'd order from Lawless again and pound nails into my scrotum. Yeesh. I still have an alleged pair of denim outstanding with F&T. Maybe I'll see it before 2016.

F&T are absolutely ridiculous in their advertising of sales. I have signed up for their mailing list 5 different ways and I never get informed about them. And they also don't advertise their products they want to produce/get funded. They almost HIDE them on their site. What's up with that?

Yeah, and their production schedule leaves a lot to be desired. Don't get me wrong, I like the fit of their shirts and all, and the jeans are OK (but zippered, blech), but they're slower than G.

I've backed two of their kickstarter campaigns and bought stuff from them and I still get the email from them like once a month, but it seems like it's for every other sale and once in a while on the funding campaigns. When I do get the email, the thing I'm interested in has usually sold out within six hours of email delivery. |

I'm on their mailing lists too, but I hear about their sales on Reddit, usually when everything is sold out. |

Yeah...it's absurd. Feck 'em. Haha.
EDIT: Also, they can't seem to keep their biggest seller, their boxers, in stock at all. Which is pretty damn lame. They make a damn fine boxer, though.
EDIT 2: Also, their t-shirts are boxy and fit like a smock length-wise.

They've been really slow this year and haven't had any decent drops recently. Curious if they're doing okay? This time last year they had inventory in lots of items and weren't just running campaigns.
Reminds me, I have two pairs of their chinos I need to sell. Stupid 32" inseam.

What size and color are they? I'm short, 32" inseams work fine for me. Grey and navy. True waist measurement on both is right at 36". Length on the navy after a wash is a true 31 and grey's are 31.5. $50 shipped for both. They're really nicely made, with a pin striped lining. I just forgot that they don't do the 33" inseam they use on the Tough Slacks. www.flintandtinderusa.com/prefund/chinos |
