Post-school off to the city for a photoshoot fit. Im consider a bit of a taper at the bottom, not to make them skinny cause I love the way they fit, I just dont want them dragging on the ground when I wear them with vans, especially since I love wearing them woth vans now.

^ eek! Sorry to hear dude. I did that to my strike golds, althought they still fit luckily. Just gotta get the hem finished.

^ Thank you, thank you. I finally got around to setting up a small home studio so I decided to take pictures of these! Yes, indeed they are the 8181's.

^thanks mate! well hopefully not "rounder" haha, hopefully muscular or fit.

I don't have such prestigious boots as everyone else in here, but my Red Wings have lasted me the last 2 years.. still going strong!

Btw, wherever you are Riff... what camera you using these days? Still on the MKII? Or did you upgrade to the MKIII?

^Looks promising so far. Gotta love the uniqueness of the denim.

I took some proper fit pics of my 3109s.. still kinda regretting the waist and why in the world I'd ever go with a 30. I can literally fit my damn fist in them.

Alright, I put together a website. Figured I should post it here after getting flamed for all of my gear talk.

I'd appreciate comments.

I like your style of shooting. I understand your reason on why you don't want to share your work, but I'd definitely share it more often, imo.

^ Thank you Koven. I have the rest on here: http://jacobskoglund...ra---bmg-models.

Jacob, those are nice dude!

Thanks

backed...1st pic is best imo!

Heh, my favorite from the shoot! Thanks R!

Select shots from a shoot on Sunday.

Thanks for the reply Kiya. Seriously bummed to hear this. Hopefully they aren't too small and I really hope the quality is still there.

What differences should I expect?

Even though it's a one wash don't think it wont fade.. Fade wise RAW's have the potential to fade with higher contrast, but once they are worn out I doubt you'll be able to tell a difference. With Strike Gold sizing, I find them to run about a size big. I have a size 29W in 2105's, 30W in 3109's and wore a W29 in SG1103ex's. With the exception of the EX's (since they're 23oz), both pairs run big. I made the mistake of getting a 30 in the 3109's, but both my 2105 and 3109 should have been purchased in a 28W.

This is my experience though. Even though the waist runs big, I find that the fit is perfect regardless. As long as you bought your size I think you should be fine.

Indeed. He wore it a lot in the latest tour (also when I saw them):

Nate is a long time member on the IHF, so that might have to do with it

I don't know why, but I wish I could see converge live. They remind me of the intensity of TDEP, both are crazy bands, lol.

LOOOOOL $300. lol.

^Yup! Well.. Thomas did.

Here's another fit, got them hemmed.

^ Sell it and size down 1-2 sizes. If I am going to get another pair of S5000's in the future I'd go to a 28 which is about 2 sizes down from my actual waist. Don't worry about stretching either since I've seen pair stretched up to four sizes.

S5000CX fit.

^ For the 3109 it isn't a big deal, it wont affect the fading. The 2105 I'm not all that sure, but it most certainly appears worse in the photos.

nice fit bro. im thinking of grabbing a pair of those. how much shrinkage did you get in the thigh area from presoak to postsoak? because thats what im worried about. my flatheads are 30 and the thigh fits me perfect, they measure just a little over 11in.

They definitely shrunk quite a bit.. Waist is like I said, huge on me. Most of my jeans with an aligned waist is .5"-1" smaller than my measurements.

Aligned - 16.1"

W/ Dip - 15.3"

Thigh - 10.5"

Knee - 7.1"

Hem - 7.0"

Creases are always a sad thing. And yeah I would skip the spin or just hand wash them.

But I don't have experiences myself since my stuff don't see water except when surprised by aome rainshowers.

Yup. I mean.. it's whatever, adds to the character? Haha.

Strike Gold 2105

Yeah for next time ill take that into account. I should have not done the spin cycle, I only did it on low, so I'm glad I didn't do any faster.

^ yup.

^ have you turned them inside out?...

Reason why I didn't is because the last 2 times I did I had way worse creases.

Thanks! Yeah, the crease is definitely annoying, I'm going to see if I can iron it out.
