@Mild7:

Tom, a tad bulky around the wang region maybe?  Otherwise a nice fit indeed

I think that could be because the jeans are still quite stiff, but I see what you mean  :-
I guess I will see…

How you getting on with them Tom?

They are good, the stiffness is coming out of some parts how we some places like the shins are still pretty stiff.
The fading hasn't really come alongich though I can see it happening getting pretty excited looking at these pics!

I wonder why they are on sale.  Prices are real good.  The rise on SG is a bit too short for me.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Most likely they didn't sell that well. Self Edge got rid off their EX series over a year ago

New SG tee came in. This is my first one. It's loopwheeled, not ridiculously weighty. Collar is nice, feels more reinforced than IH and slightly less than FH. I like the design on it.

Speaking of cool designs, I could see this silk screened on a shirt:

Looks good.  I love SG tees and your assessment is spot on.  They have a great feel and the collar is just ever so slightly looser than FH but still built to last.

[tigerpac]

Wish they made those Tees in larger sizes… they run so small!

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I can't remember if I got a m or a l but it can't shrink or I'll have problems.

That seems like such a awesome deal, does anyone know what shipping costs usually run?

[mclaincausey]

Gosh, probably on the order of $30?  I have a shirt coming in today I will check the invoice.

SG 3105s. These are 17oz loomstate LHT.  Still slightly damp on the top block from last night's soak.

Really need to hem these.  What do y'all think of the fit?  I'm a fan.

Pre-soak (30 minutes in near-scalding water from the tub):

Post-soak:

Some streaky vertical fades predicted by this slub:

Pockets, inseam, and belt loops have solid ridges to attract friction/fades:

These should fade beautifully, here's a yarn:

[tatmantall]

Man MCL! I really dig that t

[mclaincausey]

Thanks, I am getting better at determining what suits me based on measurements, I've been burned in the past   Kiya was a help as well, and needed as these are my first unsanforized jeans.

[Seul]

Solid fit my boy!

[Finn666]

brilliant fit right there mcl. …the only thing i dislike about TSG are they pocket arcs!
denim and details are pretty interesting...hopefully i'm gonna end up with a pair one day...
