The Strike Gold

It’s already 5105 weather.

Not much evo since the last time I posted these (and I see the links are broken anyway) but I had to patch these and bring them back to life. The denim feels like velvet. SG3105 with crotch and thigh patching. Only wear these in casual situations. They are my fiance's favorites. She even took these pics without rolling her eyes!

Jeans looks fantastic - ecstatic to see you still rocking your Road Champs

Need a re-sole on the heels! I already had to do so on the Lofgrens

Thanks. Almost never. Maybe like 5 times over a few years and an initial soak. I wash when they stink and mine are slow to do so. Woolite dark, cold, minimal or no spin, hang dry. Cheers!

5105’s

They look like they fit really great, though! (visually)

@illo59 where'd you pick those up? I see they still have the red tab on them. It's so annoying that Levis puts the kabosh on that kind of thing for stateside-sold jeans (I'm guessing that's also why Oni doesn't put arcs on their US orders either).
I really like the look of those, and some of SG's more even-textured denim in general. Well, even textured is maybe the wrong phrase — I mean the ones that are less crosshatched. Psyched to see how those develop for you!

@popvulture i picked them up from statement, munich. They hace a great texture and a great fit but somehow i just don‘t wear them very often. The red tab was cut off sadly - i tried to sew it back in by hand. Works for me but i think soneday it will fray away… levi‘s law is a bummer.
Fade status:

Found an old pair of 5105 (horizontal weft super slubby short staple cotton) that I retired after a crotch blowout. The denim was almost stretchy and crocheted blanket-like from the jump, which made them very comfortable right away. The nature of the fabric makes the fades kind of fuzzy. Great vertical falling.
I can’t wait to see Haraki’s slub challenge the Onis of the world and do so with IH robustness.
Going to get them fixed up and back in rotation.

Nothing to not love about those aye

The 5105’s are currently the only non-IH denim in my rotation. Great warm-weather denim due to the loose weave.

@mclaincausey dude those are pretty fap-tacular.
-
Thank you sir!
They’re back. I think I’ll retire my 666s-18 for the dog days of summer. These feel like gossamer. Hard to tell I’m wearing pants.
