      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.

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

                    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?

                          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?

                                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.

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

                                            Ha, Alex, did you get tired of being harassed for your NBs on SuFu and switched up for your RWs?

                                            Fuck those guys.
