      Every wear pic I've seen, the arcs have come off pretty quickly.  Almost like they design them to wear away because they know everyone hates them.

        I hate all arcs 😶  but have learned to leave them & appreciate them for what they are.

        when i was newer to denim i would remove arcs & modify & all kinds of sh!t, it's still a place for that but i'm older & lazier than b4  😃

        not arcs but i do like the pbj leaf, think it's a real unique take & chicks always tell me I got something on my a$$ so I tell em take it off, hehehehhehe  don't tell my wife  😃

          Hahaha. That's smooth.

          I took the arcs off a couple pairs of 666XHS. I didn't hate the arcs, but I just think the denim speaks for itself. Plus, the Works W is the dopest branding I've seen. It's small, bold - Immediate recognition and it just looks right to me. I like the PBJ leaf for the same reason. That's all you need in my opinion.

          I've wised up to not removing the arcs, though. I used to think, "Man, I'm gonna have these jeans forever, so why not!" Now I realize tastes change, mine more than average probably, so better to play it safe and be able to switch it up if inclined.

            This! Always liked the W in my Iron Hearts. It is great.

                don't buy these finn, unless you can get them 2nd hand or for a bargain.  the new denim the Strike Gold has coming is incredible stuff & feels like you are touching a jackson pollok painting.

                True Story, hahahahaha

                i gotta admit i do like these alot

                    That sounds good re new strike gold. I hope they make them so they can fit. I am sitting on a mint 34 SG5105 w/labels still…I thought it would fit but wrong, so if anyone wants it, I'll sell below par and have a go at the new ones @madmonday likes, because for me he always goes where no man has gone before.

                                No problem. I think the SE measurements are a little misleading. in the non-indigo dyed SG hoodies I would have ordered a Large but I think I would go XL in the regular also.

                                  I've never gambled on anything strike gold, because the fits all seem a little small/short for me. I love my SG belt, though, so I've always entertained trying other stuff.

                                            For those interested in knowing how much the Crew Neck Sweats shrink/stretch with wash and wear…

                                            I have worn my crewneck (XL) pretty much 2-4 times per week since getting it in November.  I originally did very quick cool wash + line dry til damp and machine dry on low to "fluff" it up - then ran a warm iron over it.

                                            I just have it a second full was in "cool" water and full line dry + "fluff" in dryer on low - the shrink was so much I was glad I was able to iron most of it out again.

                                            Hope this helps someone!!
