The Strike Gold

Thanks twin but the photo is fucked up they don't look green like that. Damn android photo editor messed up. Hopefully this is better bbb

New belt obtained.
Could have gone with a 34 or 35 instead of a 36. Using second tightest hole and it is pretty tight. I can buckle the last hole wearing my 666s but then it hurts. Alot.
I can only hope that it will not stretch to much.
Self edge only had them in 32 and 36. Found out that rakuten got them in all sizes today.Nevertheless I am very happy with the belt.
Going to be fun seeing it age and evolve.
-
Those single-layer belts are unfortunately more subject to stretching than a belt of two layers with their grains reversed. It's a beaut, hope she serves you well!

Evo update, SG3105

^ wow those look good. How long have you been wearing those jeans and how many washes?
-
^ Stellar!
-
Anyone else have the 51xx denim beaides MCL? Curious about how much they really shrink.

Sorry, I missed this earlier. Worn frequently since August '13, washed once, 3 soaks.

Just found my post from when I soaked and I did lose quite a bit in the thigh but it let back out. I think the weft slub pushed more shrinkage. That was a 15 minute hot soak so I'd go cold.

What Mclain said. They shrink a lot, but they also stretch a lot.
-
Mainly worried about the legs and legs arent known to stretch real easy or alot. Oh well, roll the dice i guess
-
My advice would be if you are trying to decide between two sizes, get the larger size. The waist stretches no problem, the thighs will stretch a decent amount too but it takes some work. Check out the Superfuture thread, I posted my experiences there (I'm everyinchofgod on SuFu).
-
I think Pillow's problem is that he's at the largest size they make–SG is not exactly a gaijin-conscious brand.
@pillowPANTS The fabric is pretty stretchy, if you roll the dice I hope it works out for you, good luck.

@mclaincausey I can't wait to see your 5105's when they get to the level your 3105's are at. Get to work and post some pics! A couple more weeks left of HWDC2 and then I'll be starting on mine.

What sucks about that is that I'm entering IH-634SII, so they won't get much wear. I think they'll become my "sneaker jeans"
-
The texture on these 5105 is so cool. I wish I could capture it better.
-
Thanks; it's a weird denim. slubby blisters horizontally, streaks vertically, and then a grainy element. The twill is crooked too. During HWDC, the IH-634SII will be my "boot jeans" but I'll wear these any other time I'm wearing jeans. I guess I have to retire my soft, beloved 3105s once the competition spools up
