The Strike Gold

[popvulture]

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

[daynym]

Thank you. Regarding the look I like them, too. But the comfort factor is another thing. I think I got used to wider cuts in the last years.

@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.

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.

[mclaincausey]

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.

Hi,
do you know the strike gold sg1209?
I saw a store on a website that sells strike gold sg1209 jeans but I couldn't find this model when I searched.
Thank you

Think you might mean the 2109 @daynym

[boombasstic]

hi EastWest
no it is the model sg 1209 for sale on yahoo auction.  the seller has several strike gold 1209 jeans on sale.
as I shop on yahoo auction with buyee, I cannot contact the seller for more information.

@boombasstic there are other proxy services (also cheaper than Buyee [correction, seems that Buyee got cheaper]). Try FromJapan, they will also contact the seller with your questions.

Talk about an irregular weft I think this is 5105

@swiss-jeansfreak and I started getting very excited about the raw 24.8 ounce Extra Hard SG9903s! I could see where you could get 2 pairs raw in different sizes. He sussed it out and when I went to look again next morning one of the two pairs had gone! He admitted he was the guilty party. I quickly snaffled the last pair, a size 32 hoping they would fit. Well they do and were so much easier to do up and less course than my 2016 size 32 UHR634s.

@Jeansman Amazing, I always wanted to feel these in person! Surprised to hear they are more malleable the the UHR, although I never felt the original version of that denim..
