The Strike Gold

[mclaincausey]

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

I can see what you're describing, and grainy is a sound adjective. I do understand the DWC internal conflict. I keep thinking of how much love both pair of my 666 have left to give. Alas both are out of contention, so I get to prolong their lifespan

And furry!

[mclaincausey]

Right! Mine are still furry in areas of less wear, the thighs have shed most of theirs. The Evo on these promises to be special

51xx denim next to faded 21oz

On its own

So much texture in this denim. Super irregular and rough, but some how also soft

[mclaincausey]

Glad they fit. Weird ass rug denim right?

[pillowPANTS]

Def weird dude. Ill post some fit pics when i can

[Jordan23]

Really interesting looking Denim. Congrats on your purchase PP. Enjoy them!

Unluckily the thighs wouldn't fit me.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Here's a hair shot from a while back of the 51XX

[cristeza]

Oh wow. You need a hair brush for those.

[mclaincausey]

These 5105 are evolving fast on just a few wears. You can see the texture at a distance now:

[xtcclassic]

Nice! Can't wait to see how they develop. I have my own of course, but since I can only wear jeans two days per week, I will be watching yours for inspiration.

[pillowPANTS]

Lookin good MCL!

Quick fit pics of my 5109's

[mclaincausey]

Those look great, what'd you do for a soak?

[pillowPANTS]

Piss warm for 30mins then held the knees out of the water with a stick and did hot for another 20

Fit pics for my 5105's. Posted these on SuFu, forgot to post them here.

[mclaincausey]

Perfect for you too.

This denim just feels good IMO, I love the texture and stretchiness of the weave. A cliche, but they remind me of sweatpants. They're so textural that you get a lot of wear quickly and a lot of visible horizontal and vertical texture and color variation.

Look good @xtcclassic, great fit. Nice pony too.

I really ought to work now. But first things first: My SG sweat after 5 washes or so, still in great shape and getting better and better. 

It made me curious about other high-end sweats so I just pulled the trigger on a RCM zipper hoodie. I'm really looking forward to compare the two of them!

[grandmasterben]

Awesome, looks great.  Let me know how they compare, been interested and tried to find the 12 oz rmc myself.  Which one did you get?
