The Strike Gold

Couldn't resist the 5105 when I saw it in person at SELA. Loomstate that is super comfy off the rack. So much character in the fabric
-
Wow, that's some wicked stacks!
-
Well faded Mclain , you made me put SG denims on my radar .
Cheers
-
Does SG only have the xx05 and xx09 models? Both are too slim in the thigh for me
-
I think those are pretty much the only "normal" cut ones, which also bums me out because they're literally the worst cuts for me. Even the 05
-
I got some 5105s.

Crazy weft short slub on these, warp is somewhat slubby and hairy and neppy:
Interesting horizontal and vertical texture:

They're still drying -
Where did u get em chief? They look pretty cool

Thanks man; I picked them up at SELA weekend before last, had them hemmed and shipped, and just now got back in town to soak them. The shrinkage on such a weird denim will be interesting. I probably did about a 15 minute hot soak. Hope my hem estimation works out, trying to get to a cuffless stack.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a denim quite like this. Curious about how they're going to fade.
-
They really are super awesome….such a burly and comfortable denim. Wish I could fit in it
-
Yeah I guess they have only done XXX9 and XXX5 in this one so far, they have a couple of other cuts that they don't seem to do anymore. One thing that's weird/cool is how the gaps in the short slubs seem to line up to create some verticality in addition to the heavy horizontal texture.

When did they show up at SE? Looks like the 5105 in a 36 just may work for me. Really wish I could ask G to measure them lol
