I really, really want those SEXSG24. Worried about the knees though. @David_pll can you tell me your size, thigh and knee measurements? Thanks

I own a pair of the SGxSE collabs in the straight tapered. They are definitely slim. The cut is a bit funny for me as the top block in the groin is kind of loose/relaxed compared to the rest of the fit in the upper portion of the jean. In general the straight taper feels a lot more like a slim taper. Almost to the point that I legitimately wonder if they mislabeled the pair I ended up with. I love the jeans, and even with my above gripes the fit is still solid. They definitely have a strong taper which prevents them from working with a few pairs of the boots in my rotation. If you're a sneaker guy these jeans will work great. I bought a 30 in these and also own a 30 in the IH-666XHS, and a 29 in the 777S14-od. I would say the top block of the 666 XHS fits somewhat similar in slimness to the SG's but the knee and hem has considerably more room. The 777S have a very similar amount of room to the SGs in the knee but slightly more room in the calf and hem. I think part of what makes the SGs feel so slim is the denim. Its insanely awesome but is like wearing a thick Persian rug on your legs. Anytime you have an unforgiving denim, cut in a slim fit, it only exaggerates how slim the jeans is.

Here's a fairly recent shot of the jeans….

Thanks @BloodnThunder for the info. Guess these work work as I'm a 634, 633 or 888 guy. I like a knee about 9.5+ with stretch out or the fabric. Damn! These are gorgeous…. I need to call them and see if they have a 38 with measurements bigger than in the chart. Might get lucky.

How is the comfort with them? Guessing you have more of a "trimmer" fitted pair, I like a bit of room.

Hey sorry for the late reply. As @BloodnThunder said, they come up pretty slim. I have the straight taper and they are still quite slim fitting, and I’m pretty short/slim. The texture & fabric is amazing, my only gripe is the top block is a bit too tight, I could do with a bit more room for the jewels but otherwise I’m happy with the fit & jeans.

Here is a photo of them recently:

I haven't tried this particular pair, but have NEVER been able to get any cut of Strike Gold jeans to work.

I would love to try out their stunning fabrics but I do have the same issue unfortunately.

@Jordonf9 I would describe them as fairly stiff and a little abrasive. The denim is quite rough compared to something IH makes. They are pretty much the slubbiest jeans I've owned, or seen in person for that matter, and you can definitely feel that uneven texture a bit on your legs. If you go with a more relaxed size you may not feel it as much. However, I would not call these uncomfortable at all, and they definitely have caused me no pain, like some jeans are known to do early on. As long as you aren't expecting a nice smooth feel like a long staple, cleanly woven denim provides I do not think you will have any complaints.

Nice combo @match. Have you considered adding a brown belt to this particular combo? I reckon it would enhance your overall look

Thank you sir! There's a belt, Brown. What kind of jeans without a belt? But in this case, these pictures are for jeans, not appearances (look). Therefore, all details (patch, belt fit) must be free. I'm sorry about my native English language.

^I now understand the absence of a belt, in order to show in full the cut and detail of your denim

Dion

Great fit, match! And nice boots (Wolverine?).
