The Strike Gold

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.

Fit pics for my 5105's. Posted these on SuFu, forgot to post them here.
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!
-
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?
-
Thanks, will do! I took the 12 oz. Ball Park…
-
I do also own the 12 oz Ballpark Hoodie and the SG. They're pretty identical in Terms of weight and warmth, but I prefer the Hood of the McCoy. The SG one is practically unusable.

@Max:
The SG one is practically unusable.
Really? Why?
-
Super narrow. When I put it on, it lifts the whole hoodie.
-
Yeah, SG hoodies have awful hoods, way too small, and the thickness of the fleece doubled over exacerbates it.
-
The hood issue is fixed on their pullovers. On the zips (I have no clue why) it would just fall off my head backwards.
Even with the strings drawn. Super annoying.

Nice fit. I can't wait to see some heavily faded examples of this denim.
-

Strike Gold 3105. Shot I my Iphone 6 so the pictures probably aren't showing as much contrast as in real life. I will try to take better pics later. Anyways, about 17 months of weekend wear and 6-7 machine washes. I really love the cut, texture, and color of the denim. My only gripe is that I don't really have any honeycomb fades. Maybe it's because the jeans have been washed too frequently?

xx05 is their straightleg cut. They might not be tight enough at the knee for heavy combs.
Washing them frequently is fine. Make for a more vintage look and fade
