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

@rovdjurstorget agreed. Managed to snag a pair of 33’s half price brand new on eBay (am always a 32 in 777 but 33 in duck) and they fit like a dream. Great winter rotation along with my 21oz indigo’s

@AdamJ thx Adam. So I’m reading that these will not shrink because of the dying process? At least from the description on the site. Also I’m reading the self edge models do shrink? So I’m slightly confused if they’ll shrink if it’s the same fabric. Thanks.

All the SBG is sanforised, this removes most shrinkage. Denim is not washed, products are - all the international models of this denim are one washed, to remove any further shrinkage. The origional 8301S was specced so long ago, I do not know what they originally asked for, its possible they asked for the jeans not to be washed, and therefore they would still shrink a little.
The denim, regardless, is identical

I've been wearing mine for a few days. They behaved just like any other 21oz from IH...easy break-in, usual bit of stretch. Love how it's all blacked out and the patch is really cool!
-
@PJ I just ordered a pair of these today… I am in the same predicament as you were. I was ready to have them hemmed but after the email and the fact that these are my 1st pair of 777’s I was nudged to get them unhemmed. Hey, how are the fades coming?
-
@Bigred08hd hey. They are currently on ice because I’m wearing a different pair for the Indigo Invitational. But as a follow up I decided to get them hemmed at a local store later on. In general I got tired of cuffs. Now they are perfect and fading to grey is visible. I’m sure you will love them. Fade on

Good luck in the Indigo Invitational

These did not fit me… had to send them back! I guess the 888’s is the model for me.
-
@JunkPants those fades are pretty sweet!! Are you a builder or something or just beat the hell outa them?

@knappman74 Thanks!
Quite the opposite really, I'm a student again these days (medical school), and a pretty slow fader compared to many people around here. Like Jcaz, Mister Brue etc. who put their denim through the wringer on a daily basis. And then you have denim magicians like Oaktavia who fades to perfection in no time.
Just wear your jeans all day every day and the fades will eventually come. SBG is awesome, gets my highest recommendation for sure. Personally I love black denim, it pairs effortlessly with indigo denim and pretty much everything else.
