Somet

[Guest]

Mabey there's a thread for somet but I don't see it..

Does anyone have experience owning a pair of somet?
I'm looking to get the 003, a friend has them and raves uncontrolable about them and he knows his denim.
Here is some pics of his old pair and his current pair..
The current pair is to show the amazing looking waxy finish that these have..

I am actually selling a pair of Somet 018 Low Rise Slim Fit Black Jeans in a W32: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2747.0

Can you comment on the brand, and the fit and quality of the denim.? I wish I wanted black, I might scoop them from you, I'm looking specifically for 003 indigo..

Unfortunately I cannot. I am selling them for a friend of mine. If I see a pair of 003 Indigo I will let you know. And shoot me a PM if interested.

I'm confused, he used to wear them?Or can't find time because IH

I'm gonna get the 003, and my somet loyal friend gonna get a pair of IH, due to my rave reviews.

He stocks them - though not the 03's.  He loves them, but loves his DC4001's and 2's more…...

Yea, they are his pride and joy, 2 1/2 - 3 years. No washes, no soaks. Other than rain. Grime is his friend as far as they go. And he's a  long time vet of raw denim, my mentor, haha.

Guy at BiG offered him like 250.00 for them, he said no and they sit in his closet. I respect that

I have a pair of the 003 slims I am wearing right now.  I can say with confidence, after owning over 30 pairs of raw denim, that the 003 is the best fitting slim jean I've ever owned.  The construction of the jeans is also unique - the way they are put together is different from anything I've seen and really speaks to their attention to detail.  I would give them my highest recommendation to anyone considering them.

Somet to look into, me thinks…

Now that I think about it, seeing your fit pics, the 003 would be perfect for you

I know my friend that swears by them is all about the fact that they only make jeans, so they can focus on them soley

I misspoke.  I have the 008 slim model (the one with the darts), not the 003.

You must be super skinny, you gotta be like thin and tall for those

And the rise is insanely low

I disagree.  The rise is low but not criminal.  I'm only 5'9" and decently built and I think they look great.  My wife loves them.  I'll post fit pics soon.

Ok let me know lads: which model is slim (not skinny!), lightweight (max 16 oz) and has a high rise?..

Size 28 which is a size. True 31 has a rise of 8 inches, that's a little criminal to me. Ha

According to BiG, Somét only offers one cut with a high rise but has a very strong taper.

denim is AFAIK always 13,8oz (what BiG offers)

Well my buddy is 6 foot and prob 145 pounds, and even he says 003, he says 008 way to skinny, and the knee darts are not nice looking IMO, but to each his own
