Self Edge has a 15% off summer sale. IH sadly not included. Picked up the Samurai S510XX25OZ-SP and black Bakers Pants for 15% off.
I am loving my S510XX25OZ-SPs, a very comfortable fit. I've been wearing mine for about a month.
Battled with my 25 oz, won the war!

@worn2fade Yes. Fabric is lovely but the dye takes to it slightly differently across the face - I have an olive shirt and its slightly lighter where the fabric is slubbier. It kind of looks spotty at first. This seems to fade.
I think the fabric is better in lighter colors where this is less noticable.

@cyclops waist was very tight on my tag 36s, they measured 34.8, was supposed to be around 35.5. They seem to be stretching out a bit but I only have half a dozen wears on them.
-
@rasta haha hmmm thanks for the input, much appreciated.
Dang, i normally go 32.5 as a baseline where its comfy and fitted, i saw one place for a tag 32 its measuring 31.89 (81cm), so...damn. i think i just need to walk away and not take the risk....its hard though haha

Is it actually a tropical weather kind of fabric? Is it the first shirt you’d grab if temps are high?
-
@cyclops mine have only stretched out by about half an inch, i bought the 33 and and probably should have gone a 34
I'm only about 10 wears in but I'm on the fence atm if I should keep them. The denim itself is unreal, honestly only beaten by the UHR imo. -
@AskAxel haha yeah you mentioned the UHR, would you say its similar? Im wearing my UHR and love it, though its starting to heat up here. Cant wait to see more fades....
-
@worn2fade Yes! Its very light and perfect for summer shirt - if it comes around again in white / ecru I will buy another. Would be light for a jacket.
This is not the one I got but the back shows what I mean on the dots. They occur where the fabric has more slub. https://rivetandhide.com/gbp/samurai-tropical-weather-western-shirt-olive
Seems less pronounced on the black.

Have a pair of the 25oz coming. After looking at the measurements it seems they are perfect for me. Cannot wait to get these as they are my first heavy weight pair.

What are those thongs @worn2fade?
Olukai High Character Leather Flip Flops dude
-
I thought they looked familiar @worn2fade
I just got a pair of Mekila. They look the shit. However, I am struggling with breaking them in. How was your experience?
-
@Bridger heck yeah dude! Mine are the mekila high character so we twinning. Yours are black too?
& dude break it process wasn’t horrible BUT these sandals run much smaller than their other sandals. Like honestly, these just barely fit me. I wear a 10 in all sandals and these are also a 10 and my foot basically fits PERFECT in them. No extra space.
-
They look good @worn2fade

Hat one year wear three washes.

Question for yall.
I just picked up a pair of s510xx25oz-sp and they are probably me best fitting jeans I currently have. This is my first time though with unsanforized one wash denim. Should I do a cold/warm soak of around 30mins to try and get the last of the shrinkage out? Include an additional cold wash after and air dry? This is my first time with anything this heavy as well.
Just wondering what the general consensus is for these as I do not want to start wearing them and then get to washing and next thing I know the length has shortened and I get fade lines that move on me because of it. That is the primary concern. I believe the waist will tighten up a little but that is fine for me if they are a little tight as they will stretch back out to my normal waist size.
Am I over thinking it and I should just start wearing them?
