Both the Sumi and the overdyed look great @chambo2008, I like how the dye has tinted the (battle?) stripes too

Get a pic of them with measurements and a price @desolate, there's a few of us here from the UK, you might get some interest.

Quite hard to take ‘action stills’, especially getting the waist to lay flat, but hopefully this gives you an idea.

Ok, here goes. SDA SD-100, W36 Gold standard™ method Waist, flat, aligned, pulled a bit but not overly : 17" Top thigh, full width : 13" Thigh at 3" from crotch : 12" Leg at 13" : 9.5" Front rise : 11.5" Back rise : 16¼" Inseam : 33" Hem : 8.5" So, more or less as described it would seem, half way between the SD-108 and the SD-101. They aren't exactly what I would consider tapered, if anything I would say 'regular straight' to borrow the term we see across some brands. The measurements are near perfect for me - I anticipate the waist giving up an inch or so (it needs to ), but the top block overall is good, the rise is perfect, neither too low nor overly high. I would perhaps shave a half inch off the knee and hem and give it to the thigh for a more truly tapered cut, but these will do me the next few years at any rate. Pics to follow to show measurements.

Cool, cheers mate, good info. About the armhole, I know just what you mean. In tailoring, it's called the armscye. Patterned too high is distinctly uncomfortable - affects how a garment fits across the upper back too. By the way, I think it was you who first identified the SD-100 model I've just bought, in a post some time back. I'd been eyeing them up ever since until deciding to buy, so cheers for that.

Nice that. Are these the ones with the rather too tight arms / forearms?

FIZZY! Good aggro exercise music.

haha, indeed, something relating to a lardy viscosity perhaps Quite a crease from folding and shipping, so I want to see if I can soak that out , but as is I'm pleased with the cut and fit on these; they're what I'd suggest are a more than acceptable modern, everyday cut. Very gloomy and overcast here today, but I'll try and get some measurements up.

Hooray! After two abortive delivery notifications from FedEx in which I convinced myself they had been mislaid, and nearly 10 years of intermittent curiosity, I finally join the noble brethren of pigfanciers. And they fit. Good news to end the year.

£30! :faint: I had a mooch about R&H a couple of years ago, bought some socks ( white ) and when I asked if they used / would use cotton thread for hemming they replied that they only use poly.

I've thought a few times that this ought to be a private forum accessible only behind a login. The search function is next to useless and the site doesn't appear particularly well indexed ... ... try "site:supertalk.superfuture.com/topic of your choice +search term" in google to see what I mean, so may as well be afforded the privacy of content obscured from search engines and behind a log-in.

Nice! Not often you see a pair of Carpe Diem here. Are they pre 2006 (or whenever Maurizio eventually folded the company..) ?

Great posts Julian. For Bill, re a new project, penknives - this wouldn't happen to be an Ashley Harrison (of A Wright & son) custom would it? The Bureau have them in, and it's rather keenly priced to be either a Steven Cocker or Stuart Mitchell.

/\ this. Fabric stability is absolutely affected by temperature .... in my opinion Whether that is water temperature, or drying temperature is your experiment. But unfortunately - as intimated, rightly, above - experience no matter how much it's repeated (and reddited* ) amounts to little more than anecdotal on a scale of research. Find a meta-analysis.

Cheers @Skeeseman

@jeash90 turn jeans inside out, soak in warm to hot tap water in the sink or bath until saturated, then while still wet and pliable put them in the washing machine still inside out on a 40°C cycle with either spin set to absolute minimum or stop the machine before the spin, pull them out hang dry and stay away from reddit 👍 Note this is for a front loading machine as we have in the UK, experience may differ across the pond but the last bit remains true 😄

I assume this is still the relevant thread, recent mention of chain stitching in the Blunders thread prompted me to comment. Oi! Northerners! Have any of you made it north of the Tyne for alterations / chainstitching at either of these two? https://www.instagram.com/darned_fine/ https://www.instagram.com/nimes_deniming

Incidentally re chino's. Calee Westpoint slim. Outstanding. Like a far better Dickies sort of thing. I have two pairs from their 2020 season, I think - ref is CL-20AW012. Easily fits into that recent topic about buying the same thing twice. Would buy again in a heart beat.

Thanks mate. Usual mix of excitement and worry I've tried two new (to me) pairs recently; - the Kapital Monkey Cisco - awful fit and something totally wrong with the geometry or proportions between me and the jeans, and - the Samurai S510HX vintage '47 model - which were absolutely excellent, and very nearly exactly what I wanted bar that I needed a larger size. Samurai, at least, are one of those few brands offering a size 35 which I was tempted to try again with until I saw a pic of a guy wearing a size 36 which gave me sufficient doubt not to bother with either So. We'll see.

Superb. That is some god tier inventory stash.

This could be a blunder, but I am hoping not. I'd previously liked the look of SDA's mainline 15oz denim, but in that former life here none of their cuts appealed at the time. Fast forward, and it still remained one of the few brands who's denim I wanted to have experienced. And then, they introduce their new SD-100 and SD-800 models (same cut). So I've just bought a pair of the SD-100. Hoping that they aren't too slim. Osaka shop blog here And BeeBee's trying them on with Naoki, here:

Is that the same as these from your post here mate? Do you know the MC.... ref for these? I'm not looking for one - if I get another sweat it'll be a Cushman, but I'm pretty pleased with both my Deluxeware (S101-00 and S102-00) and Two Moon (92022). These two are quite different to each other, but Im curious what differentiates the Ball Park 12oz and why it's kept your interest.

You need a high rise.

Euphoria, remorse, melancholy, acceptance. What a gamut of emotions. Are we talking jeans or getting high. Euphoria is only around the corner, mate

Bit of a story behind the Millesimo. To members here, they are the very antithesis of what would be considered 'good', and have, more or less, every thing wrong with them; no selvedge (probably modern power loom), horrible 'Euro'-ish pre-wash, zipper fly, no chain stitch hem, tacky hardware / rivets, and zero allusion to repro, rather a modern regular tapered fit Barring the last bit (..."That '50s look can do one. Elvis has definitely left the fucking building"...) which suits me just fine, the other omissions still nagged at me sufficiently that I attempted to return them. Attempted. A few days after collection by whoever it was, DHL or whoever, they arrived back at my doorstep with a note saying I hadn't included a waybill or whatever. That's right. I hadn't. I wasn't provided with one beyond the other return forms that accompanied their return. I tried them on again. And again, found that despite what I (mistakenly?) considered error of omission that I couldn't get passed, they fit well. So I attempted to dye them. Fail. And no return now. So little other option than to keep them. Wore them for the first time in earnest out gigging and drinking last weekend in Liverpool. I now love them.
