The Strike Gold
-
Ed….if you've got insider information shouldn't you be telling us?? Haha
-
Hi boys! Is it true that PBJ makes strike gold jeans? I got an insider information here in japan.
Production is handled by PBJ's production manager and the first denim that SG used was PBJ's denim but now it's their own denim. Also, all the new fabrics are developed by the couple that owns SG and PBJ sometimes uses that fabric a year or two later.
-
Whatever they did on their 31XX LHT I'm a huge fan. Just now starting to get that suede-like hand on areas of heavy wear after several months and the grainy fades have a lot of contrast. I love how the fabric creases and holds its creases too, the stacks and combs are so well defined.

SG3105 and ZeeBee Leather evo update.
-
Thanks I'm a fan. Just getting started.
-
Wanted to share some details of the SG work shirt.
The pen pocket is the fabric wrapped under and stitched (the pen is not for sale)
Very narrow button backing
Curved yoke.
Double chain stitched felled sleeve seams lining up to the yoke and side seams.
-
how much for the pen that's not for sale?
in all seriousness, nice shirt (i am biased, i have the same one).
-
You have another colorway too right? I'm tempted to get either the denim or another flannel, totally impressed.
-
I do, it's a different style though (with the "blanket" interior - not sure how else to describe it).
-
If anyone would like to take my black medium crew off my hands or trade for a medium hoodie, a pm would be great! Too damn hot here
-
By far the warmest sweat I've owned. I'm far from a medium, but best of luck. I really like the black color.

Thanks for the detail pics! Wish I could get my paws on one of those. Great colorway.

I’m tempted to buy a SG sweat direct from Japan, but am not sure about a few things.
Is there different Japanese sizing for SG? Huge tariffs? Is it actually much less money after taxes/shipping?

and are SG crew sweats heavier than IH crews sweats?
Thanks! -
Tariff is built into Rakuten.
Sizing of SG is small and their sweats are not sanforized or rinsed at all, they will shrink. I have a Medium first generation hoodie and it is TIGHT. I will have to sell it if it ever gets wet.
Rakuten is usually significantly cheaper, but you have to weight that against the challenge of returns. They are usually nearly unfeasible.
The old SG hoodies are maybe the heaviest on the market, but I have heard that the current generation of hoodies and sweats aren't as good.

I thought the new ones felt lighter as well. I remember I bought one maybe a year ago and it felt so fucking fluffy after just a soak. Kiya/Tyler say nothing's changed but I'm not sure.
