The Strike Gold

[corporalclegg]

The praise goes to my brother they stopped fitting me about a month in.  He welds and works in a warehouse for a living so he kind of beasts thru jeans, I only took them to get them fixed up and figured I would post some pictures before they go back to him.

Badass. Home mine look half as good one day

[Seul]

Well that's one way to get rid of the arcs (if you don't like 'm)…  :o

[tigerpac]

Those look great, no need to post up my not nearly that faded 2109s now.

How is the fitting guys? Sorry for the poor quality photos.

[RocknRoll]

Promising fit. Give them a soak/wash and they'll look great!

This is after wash fitting. Lol!

[Denimrox]

I mean after soak. 2 times of warm water.

Those look a size too big. You have a lot of extra fabric on your ass and behind your thighs. Just my opinion.

[tigerpac]

It's really a matter of personal preference, I don't like like jeans that tight… Might be a little big, but a size down might be too tight.

Give them a hot hot soak with some agitation to get the last bit of shrinkage out and you might be perfect

[mclaincausey]

I bet that if you hit them really hard with a hot soak for a long time you could probably get them down to size.

[Denimrox]

Yeah is a little big but if I down size to 34 it will be tight. Real tight for sure as 34 size is already little tight at my thigh as well as my calf. So yeah. Maybe I just wear it and after 3 to 4 months I give it a wash! Maybe will be better I guess.

im not super familiar with SG denim to know how much it will shrink but I would agree with MikeC's comment here. Of course it is all a matter of opinion, if you like… rock it homie.

[mclaincausey]

The LHT doesn't shrink a lot.

[Denimrox]

Oh I see guys. Hmm the sales person told me it will shrink quite alot. Damn it! Nvm I shall just leave with it. peace!

[mclaincausey]

Yours may not be the LHT denim…

Mc I see. But any way the more I look at it the more I find it ok and nice of course is comfy.

[mclaincausey]
