BS69xSOP420 - 21oz 777 SBG Berkeley Supply x Snake Oil Provisions Collab

[wdw]

Nice.  Wasn't expecting this.  I love my 526J-sbg, but I sense that that denim is stiffer than the indigo 21oz.  Are these sbg's a bit stiffer than the indigo 777S-21?

[AdamJ]

@wdw The SBG denim is sanforised but unwashed, in my opinion it is noticeably more stiff to begin with. I have the 555-03 which is the same denim and it was a much tougher break in process than the 21oz Indigo.

Thanks, @AdamJ.  Does being unwashed have any impact on shrinkage on the first wash?

Sex number, weed number. Hilarity.

@wdw The advice we give on the product page for this denim is:

"Expect some shrinkage (approx. 1" in waist and inseam). The waist will stretch back out approximately one inch with wear."

Basically, in the waist we expect an inch shrinkage. I personally got a touch less but I washed carefully. The rule of thumb is get as close to target measurements straight out the bag.

Hadn't planned on this, but it's too nice a denim to miss out on, and a great complement to the indigo and OD.

The back rise looks a tad higher on these as opposed to most of the other 777's which is a plus.  The measurements are damn near perfect for me.

Man…i would love to get this, actually good numbers.

Genuinely curious about a small detail.  Was the mismatch of city/state on the leather patch intentional or accidental?

My guess is intentional considering the names of the two vendors are also mismatched.

Was thinking the same.

The model number and the patch details are all down to the two vendors, and mix-ups are deliberate

Gave these a 40C wash and 400 spin, with no ill effects.  Shrinkage was only about 0.5" in the leg.  They're pretty stiff and I plan to wear them a lot just to loosen them up a bit.  The second pic shows the same material in the 526J-sbg, with some nice fades after pretty infrequent wear compared to my indigo jackets.  The jacket is noticeably softer, too.

That's a fine looking pair of jeans @wdw (love the boots too). Not too much shrinkage in the thigh?

[DK]

@Alex, looks like the page for these is down

[AdamJ]

@DK We've taken it down temporarily pending the sale.

Thanks, @AdamJ!
