Nice jeans but I love that line that her tattoos are ''not fashionable''. Yup, entirely coincidental to see another marketing manager with a combination of Japanese floral and faux-nautical designs.

[itsbenhere]

So spot on:

"They’re not Instagram tats. Instagram tattoos are small and black, inspirational words or significant dates. Arrows and teeny dots. Hipster tattoos are scratchy, badly drawn things that recall the ones we made in school with a compass and ink."

At least here aren't as bad as those ^, seriously so lame...

Personally, I'm thinking about tattooing some jeans on my legs, so that way I'm always wearing denim.

[Sugar Mountain]

Could be painful getting the crotch rivet tattooed...

[Iron Horse]

No pain, no gain!

Not mine - yahoo.jp - another fine example of SDA's ingenious strategy of how to make the English language work in their favor...

[dwilson123]

That is an amazing looking souvenir jacket.

 

BTW I think souvenir jackets may make a mainstream comeback.  I've seen then more and more styled on TV shows.

 

-edit-

 

Bah that jacket is out of stock.  Would have bought it

Like I wrote - yahoo.jp, auction, 2nd hand

Style is at least 2 years old...

Vintage had one on their Rakuten page but, sadly, OOS.  Not crying too hard I'm still on the fence with souvenir jackets.  But since penguins are one of my favorite animals it made it a logical buy.

Logical? I like both leopards and jeans but can't see myself buying leopardskin print jeans!

N&F Big Slubs are a logical compromise then

LMAO MF, I also spotted how dwilson123 tried to justify an expensive SDA jacket by the fact he likes penguins! Sounds like one of the lame excuses I try on the wife when she catches me perusing more jeans or shirts!

[dwilson123]

She was the one who told me to buy it!  She's an enabler since she knows when it comes time for her to buy a new purse I can't complain since I bought a fucking $300 penguin coat.

Hey All!

 

First post on this forum and first pair of SDA! I didn't know much about the brand going into BiG -- I thought I wanted PBJ or Oni -- and after trying on many pairs, I fell in love with the look, fit, and feel of a pair of D1657s. 

 

My question is, what is the difference between the Classic Series and the D series? 

 

It seems that these:

Are exactly the same as mine....

I think the D1657 was the original run, meant as a limited edition, that they recently decided to incorporate into their classic lineup, making it a standard model and creating the SD-30X series.

[Blue Nemo]

so, here is my sd-101. got it raw, shrank it through washing twice. i could make real good use of a bit more front & back rise, pre soak was pretty awesome. post soak not so much. so i hope for some stretch. waist is snug but okay! will write more about the jeans itself when i am positive on the fit!

 

measurements: (waist is measured 360°, rest like iron heart does)

 

              pre soak    post wash 1   post wash 2

 

waist         82                 78                  77.3

FR            28.2              26.5                26.5

BR           37.8               36                   35

thigh        32.7               31.4               31.1

knee        24.3               23.7               23.4

hem         22                  21                  21

inseam     91.5              85.5               84

fit looks really nice , SDA isnt really known to stretch all that much but from memory my 103 stretched just under an inch 

[Blue Nemo]

yeah, that's what i am afraid of. the denim is really tight woven and feels totally stubborn..

[Maynard Friedman]

They will stretch, but not without a fight, waist will get back to raw eventually, well mine have and all the other areas will give to. You just have to accept this denim is 'not like others' in that respect. I'm aiming to get some pictures of my worn pair of 101s up but opportunities haven been great with light outside work times.

[Blue Nemo]

thanks Maynard, patience then!!

 

i thought about sizing up to a 32, but this really wouldn't solve the matter as the waist "grows" much more than the rises - which i have trouble with.

 

denim is super hairy btw... not especially long hair, more like a short fur!

[kss447]

Looking good, Nemo. My weight has fluctuated a lot since I bought mine, but I've never had much issue with the waist. Occasionally tight after a wash but it always stretches.

The 15oz fabric is great. I'm glad you picked up a pair, I'm sure you will enjoy them.

[Geeman]

The SDA 15oz fabric is great, love my 107. Nemo, post soak fit looks good to me mate.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What size are your 107? Do you have measurements?

[Geeman]

I'm a 31 BF, just been washed if you want measurements?

[kukupoint]

You can create a separate topic where users will be uploading the actual measurement of the jeans (the methods previously discussed-for example BIG).

I can show you a couple of examples,but if it already was or is not necessary, I apologize.

[Blue Nemo]

Yeah, overall fit looks nice. Dig it myself. Problem for me is a too short rise and too much denim around the ass and thigh area. It's called diaper ass, right?

Gonna put some more days into the pair and then decide. Keep or trying to sell..

Are the front pockets of your SDAs tight? My SD101s just came and I hot soaked with agitation to shrink them. I noticed that the front pocket openings on these are tight- more so than any of my previous denim. My normal sized phone is a pain to get out. 

[Geeman]

No mate, not really
