The Strike Gold

[Max Power]

It's an XL. So I can't size up.

[Jordan23]

Sh…! Two options left. Wearing it and hoping for a moderate stretch or selling it;)

The length is really what kills it.  It's too bad, because it looks like a great sweatshirt otherwise.  Strike Gold could really sell more tops if they'd make size XXL.

@Max:

Got my SG hoodie today…it is amazing, yet too small, I think. What's your opinion?

I have an XL and have the same issue with the length as you Max. I've still been wearing it,and no one has told me it looks ridiculous as yet  . Going to stick with it and see if it stretchs out a bit. My GF has been eying it off, so I'm sure she will claim it if it doesn't work out!

[Max Power]

Kiya told me I could stretch both arms and length out. i might try it, if I'm sure that it will work out. I think the short body could look good when I wear a vest over it or my Schott jacket, which is also short.

Otherwise I'll try to return or sell it. The option of a SW-10 sounds tempting, I must admit.

Thanks for all your input.

No xxl  ihsw-10od?

[Giles]

ihsw-10-od - but I have to run 1 sample first….

@Chris:

Yeah, looks a bit small to me.

this…too short in the body as well imo. 2-3 inch longer would be perfect imo.

sounds nice…hopefully the XL won't shrink too much.

[Giles]

That is why I am running a sample.  H is worried about the amount of shrinkage we will get….

The SG one isn't sanforized and is notorious for vertical shrinkage. I'm hoping the IH one won't be as bad.

[Giles]

We have one-washed the standard versions, so I'm hoping that you are right…...

I followed Kiya's advice regarding stretch - and this is what I came up with. I am pretty happy with the fit now, and things can only get better from here (some stretch in the length will occur for sure).

[mclaincausey]

That's exactly how mine fits length-wise. But its never seen water. I do love the thick ass fleece they use.

Evo update, 3105

[Seul]

Fit is now upgraded to "perfect" and "cute", Flo.

I just received my SG 5109's from SELA (thanks Brennan!). The denim is spectacular,  but the fit  from the knees down is a bit slimmer than I'm used to, similar to the 301's/555's. I probably should have went with the 5105's but the leg opening in my size was just under 9", which is almost an inch larger than I like. I'm pretty happy regardless, unless someone is sitting on a pair of 5105's in size 33 that they're looking to trade. These won't see much wear until after the HWDC2 is over, and then they'll be my hot weather jeans– they breathe even better than the IH 21oz denim.

Fit pics, and a shot of the denim:

They look great. Great pics too. Drums always look cool.
