      @hectic:

      Thanks arrow. I've got some of these en route.

      My 1003ex arrived, and after a week eating extravagantly in Ireland (loads of bread and seafood in epic portion sizes) I am NOT doing a fit pic, they are going to have to sit on the shelf for a couple of weeks.

      Question though - in the raw state they seem to have a very high rise, does this settle down a bit post-soak?

        I picked up a pair of 1101 in the recent SE sale
        the denim is very interesting
        super rough
        not crazy about the arcs though so I I adjusted them a little
        sure not to last
        yeah but still

          Damn right, they are. My god, I've been doing regular calisthenics just to try and loosen them up a bit.

            yeah I could have got a size bigger but the full leg cut steered me down one
            I feel like they'll stretch out nicely though

                looks like if you removed just the bottom of the arcs, you have the Levi's arcs

                    Not really
                    Would be similar to the present samurai arcs
                    But even more asymmetric

                      Sam arcs are a variation of the Levi arcs to me too 😃

                        Almost all arcs are. Strike gold arcs are actually one of my fav

                          Arrow, I'm looking forward to seeing your fit pics.  I've got a pair of the 1105EX (23oz) and they fit really well after initially not being able to close the top two buttons.

                              The not being able to do-up the top two buttons part? I know…haha. SGs are stubborn mother's. I put about two hours of work into mine every morning. But they are simply too dope to give up on.

                                    This is definitely encouraging. I can't button the top button, but this means it could happen haha. Posted mine up on some forums for trade to try and size up and all I got was trash talk so far.

                                            ^na, but 300 a day is just way way way too much!
                                            and tbh if someone says he can make 300 crunshes, he is just not doing`em right…

                                            less is more if you know what i`m sayin 😉
