Situated approximately 25km southeast of London, Dartford played a pivotal role in the genesis of the iconic Rolling Stones when Mick Jagger and Keith Richards crossed paths on Platform 2 at the local station in 1961. These jeans draw inspiration from the denim jacket worn by Mick Jagger during his youthful and adventurous days, capturing the unique slightly yellowed tint, deep creases, distinct fades, and signs of well-worn character that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Crafted from the exclusive 13.7oz Japanese selvedge denim, paying homage to vintage denim from the 40s & 50s, this fabric is a year-round masterpiece. Fullcount, a pioneer in using Zimbabwean cotton, ensures comfort and durability with this long-staple cotton, achieving a perfect balance for everyday wear and authentic vintage fades.
The jeans feature all the superior-quality Fullcount details, including metal buttons, copper rivets, a custom veg-tanned goatskin leather patch, and 100% cotton thread, ensuring a faithful vintage aesthetic. This new "Clean Straight" fit, born from the 30th-anniversary celebration, strikes a harmonious blend between the classic 1101 and the contemporary 1108. Mirroring the rise and hip structure of the 1101, it introduces a more tapered leg opening reminiscent of the 1108. The natural taper gracefully follows the leg's contours, embodying both comfort and authenticity in Fullcount denim.
As many other Fullcount Jeans, the 1103 Dartford runs slightly small. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
Fullcount was founded in 1992 by Mikiharu Tsujita. It is a highly regarded Japanese brand among denim enthusiasts, celebrated for its vintage-style fades and meticulous craftsmanship. Its reputation as a member of the esteemed Osaka 5 speaks volumes. Fullcount's legacy is one of meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to classic, comfortable denim that epitomizes the timeless appeal of American workwear.
