Not to split hairs, but the 27 oz. weight is per square meter. Denim weight is usually measured per square yard. On this model the weight is 22.74 oz. per square yard, according to the Rakuten pages.

465$ is a lot of money…for 80 bucks less you can get Samurai 24/27oz...I'm not sure if SG is really THAT better
-
ive gotta say uve got a darker dye so u can get higher contrast if thats ur thing, also the feel is really individual
-
you already handled the new SG denim?
-
dye process is the same (as all strike golds which i say is darker than samurai), and strike golds as a whole have a more unusual feel. If u want to see some videos check out the daytona bros videos on utube, they are wearing the sg-ex series denim and the video of the Klax-On store (owns strike gold) has the sg-1103ex, and based on what a friend who gets the jist of japanese, thats what they were talking about. Seny doesnt have the 1103ex but tomas who works there is set on a pair of strike golds for his next indigo jeans and theyll(meaning the sg1103-ex) probably be them i believe.
-
was at se today, the new strike golds are def not for me, its a total straight leg style of jean. i must admit though, they are a work of beauty. on another note though since i realized these were not for me and i was really set on getting something today so i went with the new imperials
-
itll take some gettin used to in terms of the cut, but i actually am quite excited for em
-
With the new super heavy 1103EX i'm thinking about having two jeans in my rotation which i haven't done in over 6 years. I love the cut and the denim.

This is really interesting - I understood you bought fabric by length - the "running-yard". The area that you would have bought was then dependant on the width of the bolt of that particular fabric.
Common widths are 36", 45", 54" and 60" (although there are others) - so you would then only get a square yard if you bought a 3 foot length from a 36" wide fabric (or some other nefarious combination if you want to do the math!)
Also, although it is referred to as weight - the measurement is really one of density

If you guys aren't on sufu, here is my fit on the 1103EX's:
Definitely and strongly considering a taper… I just can't stand how big it is compared to my other jeans, and it is just annoying me. So I have to personally decided if I want to get them tapered. I am going to email Gordon and kiya, and see what the rates are as far as if they even taper...
-
also, BIG and SE don't taper.. just hem and repairs
