The Strike Gold
-
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
