[barun]

This pic was taken from Jack Crank's post in the 9301 thread.  I was just curious to see if this is how the SBG's are going to fade?  Anyone…anyone...

i am a 36 through & through.

i get 35s when they are available, but since they hardly are, i am always in 36s & my boys thank me for it.

as far as fading these are not the jeans to get if you want fading. these are called super black cause, well they are superblack.

i think they should be called super comfy cause they feel really nice, but i guess all
you tough guys wouldn't purchase. . . hahahahaha

[madmonday]

man i just saw what you did barun, the sbfg is a new denim that fades white like indigo dyed denims while the super blacks stay black like i said.  so no that is not how the sbfg are going to fade.  i would look in the sbfg tour thread or comb through here to see mankarat & his posts with the pair of sbfg he is currently abusing.

hope that helps

Yes, the superblacks weft and warp are enzyme dyed, that effectively means that the black dye molecules are bonded to the cotton, this type of dying is designed not to fade.  In the sbg, the weft it enzyme dyed, but the warp is sulphur rope dyed, sulphur dyeing does fade, so the end result will be completely different.

Thanks guys, questions answered so thoroughly there is no room for a follow up question.  Well done!

my answer in comoner speak & Giles in super textile knowledge speak.

thanks for the explanation G$ i'm sure you explained it before, but you know

I assumed the warp would have the sulphur dye to fade but I probably don't understand how it works.

Added a pair of Buster SBG in my FS thread…

somebody was looking for a 29, I think..

Me. I put in an offer so as to complete my jawnz collection and it's been shut down. I thought it was fair given the weeks of wear and popped seam but we'll see. I can respect someone holding out for what they want.

You cannot just throw out the tag size of a pair of jeans because you need to compare measured vs measured.  So go measure your 32x32 levis and compare to the measurements of the 34 sbg

@mi5tuhstan:

So these jeans will fade right? and i wear a 32x32 in levi 501s (stf), should i get these in a 34 for more comfort and room?

[Splattered]

Was going to ship to a buyer and realized these need a small repair job so the sale didn't work out after all… need a small easy repair job. Updated condition with a couple pics and offered a drop to be fair.

Such a good deal on your pair splattered. I'm really interested.

Just wanna ask, if I'm wearing a 30 on my ODs, do a 29 in the SBG fits me the same?

[Beatle]

they would be perfect

I'm a 34 in the Beatle Buster Indigo and ODs but managed to squeeze into a 32 in the SBG… although 33 would have been perfect.

[nicolnicolnicol]

Alright thanks guys. Just confirmed Splattered's pair. Pics up when they arrive!

[Beatle]

Yeah, I sized down one. Should be spot-on as per everyone's input.
