      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!!

                                            Will they always shrink, or do they reach a point after enough water exposure that it basically stops? Seems an iron gets it back to original, which is good to know. I've wanted a crew from them for awhile now but haven't justified it yet.
