The Strike Gold

Self edge measurements are wrong. Are you a medium?

[mclaincausey]

Get a large. The scuttlebutt is these mofos can shrink significantly. And I even read somewhere the newer ones can do so unevenly.

I see… I’m usually about large so I’m going to get XL and see what happens. Thanks

I have a medium and it's a trim fit. I wash it and I have to sell. I wear large in iron heart usually. Sometimes medium. My large SG tee is as tight as I'll take in a tee and I had to go XL in their flannel. They are generally TINY.

[grandmasterben]

I would get a large if I were you 4c. If you want a true vintage and short fit (which looks best) just get it slim and stretch it back.

Edit: XL ordered… will post sizing/shrinking info when it arrives. Thanks for the help guys

IH is a whole other ball game in terms of fit and shrinkage. I have a 40 IH that's plenty roomy. I don't wear 40 in anything but my deck jacket. I have a 38 IH that is a trim fit. It is the only 38 I have.

These are so good….I'm not sure if they changed the way they're made or not. I asked Casey straight up and he said definitely not....well see after a few months!

Brought my 2105's in for a little tuneup at SENY - hard to be apart from my denim love lol

[grandmasterben]

Literally shrink 3" in the length….pretty crazy.

[mclaincausey]

Jeez SG!

Do you guys wash and dry these sweats in the washer and dryer?

[grandmasterben]

I've just washed mine in hot in the washer, haven't decided if I want to dry it in the dryer. I probably won't as it's plenty short as it is…

[4c]

Cool, if mines big at all then I’ll just wash/dry it to shrunken perfection. This is going to be my first STF sweat, can’t wait!

yours Looks pretty good BTW

[grandmasterben]

Thanks man! The strange thing is while every aspect shrinks a little, it seems like the length shrinks significantly more. No clue why.

Raged of late in the 3105s to the extent that a premature second wash (after an initial soak) was needed. I think it actually helped. The worn areas are so soft too. Love this denim, and can't wait for the heavier UHR 634S in my future.

^ Those jeans look amazing!!!

[seanocono]

Yeah, man. Those look great. Nice work.

[Mild7]

Nice one Mclain.  A pair of SG denim is on my (long) list.

What do you guys think of these 1109s? I'm a bit on the fence because the waist feels a bit loose (these pics are post soak). I knew going in that these tend to have room in the top block if you go tts. I got a 32 (waist measured 33 pre-soak). I just couldn't imagine sizing down.

Anyways, the denim is amazing. Hopefully once the top block settled in with some creases I'll be more satisfied. Should I have sized down one?
