Like the much loved 0105 model, the 0106 from Full Count is a classic 5-pocket jean with a high rise and a loose, straight leg. This model features a slightly looser leg than the 0105 and a very slightly higher rise, but is similarly based on an early 1950’s Levi’s 501xx. The iconic shape and relentless adherence to detail have made Full Count’s 0106 a firm favourite at Son of a Stag.
The denim is a 13.7oz weight which is constructed strictly from 100% Zimbabwean cotton, has been hand picked at a rate of only once a year. The reason for this mirrors the principles that the company was founded on; quality and authenticity. By only picking the cotton once a year, the length and shape of each strand is allowed to maintain its original authenticity, eliminating the short, broken feel which is forged by modern farming techniques. Zimbabwean cotton is known for its thread count, and when woven, produces a luxuriously soft and durable denim. Once the cotton has been collected, it is woven at Shinya Mills on the very same vintage denim looms used to make Levi’s denim. A pink selvedge line adds the brand’s stamp of authenticity.
Full Count’s solid construction is enforced by copper rivets concealed on the back pockets, the top of the rear pockets are raised and so are the belt loops. They even feature a triangular stitch as was common on the top button of vintage Levi’s models. The rear pockets hold the classic arches of the brand, whilst a goat skin leather patch adorns the waistband. This version of the 0106 has been washed once to remove some of the excess shrinkage, you should therefore buy your true size to ensure the perfect fit.
