The Strike Gold
-
Strike Gold doesn't do a cut very close to what you want. If you can make it work, get the 5105. I checked them out in person, and the denim is some of the coolest I've ever seen. I'd like to get a pair some day. Another forum member said that they are releasing a new denim with Self Edge, though they tend to go pretty skinny on their collab cuts. Of course, TFH also has some great stuff. Also, the 19oz. Lefty denim from IH is incredible. Check the 634s-19l, it's cut closer to a 633. You can't really go wrong.

Kinda what I figured by looking at them. Shucks on to flat head I guess.

5105 is special denim, but the cuts are impossible unless you are skinny w/no butt. I even sized up and could not make the rise work. My older 2109s I sized up two, which means everything fits, but the waist is loose, so that's the pair I wear when I want to tuck in heavy shirts!
i love the 5105 fit, i think you dont like the low rise? maybe a higher rise is better fit for you? ive got a pair ive repaired twice, its my daily jean. ordering a 5205 now really love the material.

If anyone wants an XL Oatmeal crew neck, hit me up. Love it, it just doesn't fit me right after the second wash. Gonna try my luck on a Buzz.

You might be disappointed with the BR sweat after having the strike gold sweat… It feels so flimsy compared to strike gold's material. Have you tried the real mccoy ball park sweats? they run about a size bigger than strike gold. They are not quite as soft but are about same thickness and they age really well. and they are prewashed so little to no shrinkage is to be expected.

Thanks for the input Jeef! I'll check them out. Thanks!

Was down in SF this past weekend. Had a chance to have a look at Self Edge's new collaboration with Strike Gold. Honestly probably one of the most drool inducing pair of jeans I have held in my hands in quite some time. Incredible details. Insane texture. And a very rad patch. I don't really need the jeans but I have a feeling I won't last the rest of the week before pulling the trigger.

^^^ Is that the 5105 or the 1105?

It's not the 5105, I have a pair of those and the denim is totally different. This looks like 1105 denim to me.

Did the same after I saw them, went back for the 'let's drink' sale and left with a pair. Currently drying for the initial soak.

Nice! I lasted about a week before I ordered my pair. I'm glad I went for the slim straight over the slim taper as even the straights are not made for larger calves. Been enjoying mine for a solid 3ish months now and definitely have gotten a lot of comments on them.

I did the same and went for the slim straight too, after trying them on after the soak I'm glad I did! Was worried at first but they definitely fit smaller! Did you find a red Strike Gold tag in your coin pocket?

Hadn't noticed before. I just checked and do have a red SG tag in my coin pocket. Weird… Almost like they intended to add it to the outside of the coin pocket and at the last second didn't? Or Forgot?

Ah ha! No no, they left it there so you can choose if you want to add it on the back pocket! I asked Andrew from Self Edge as I thought the same thing. He said it wasn't in all of them, but a few. I'm going to have them unpick the back pocket stitching and add it in when I have them hemmed.

Ha! Kind of an extra exclusive surprise. When I eventually have to send them in to be repaired I just may have them add it then. Mine have been in rotation with about 4 other pairs so I'm a ways out from needing any work down. Definitely enjoying them though. They're just now starting to show some good character.

Thanks to my lovely wife, time to start wearing these.
