So good! Have you mended them yourself?

Thanks! Not me - repairs were done by @chicote a year or two ago, he posted about it in the denim repair thread I think.

Edit: his posts are here, bout halfway down

I have a pair of 1101 in sz 31 that fit okay just out of the wash but quickly stretch out way too large (enough so that I gave them to my brother). I wanted to pick up a pair of 1108s with arcs while I can, thinking a size 30 would be a good bet. What do you guys think?

Wow that's a serious taper.

Thanks guys, agreed on 15oz SDA fabric. Hard to beat. Good to know about the Denime XX, need a new pair soon.

SD-103s, ~3 years lots of washes. Repairs by @chicote holding up really well, thanks again.

It can be. Not in my case, my pair was ordered in store 6/29/15, received it in the mail 8/20/15. 7 weeks ain't bad.

Sorry no XL!

I've got a size L with a few washes/dries of varying temperatures. Measures at a 21.5" chest, 19.5" shoulders, 25.5" long (from top of rear collar to bottom of hem). No serious shrinkage except it shortened up a bit after the first wash.

Hey all,

I've been getting a lot of pity points lately. Chicote is going to fix my SDAs that got wrecked and now my wonderful GF wants to buy me a new pair. I'm trying to keep it low budget, thinking the SC1947 at ~130 is my best best, or maybe a pair of TCB 50s but that's a little more expensive. Any options I'm missing in a similar price bracket? Looking for a simple straight cut pair to serve as my new daily wear. 

Edit: oops I meant to post in the other stickied thread.

Thanks again everybody.

Glad you're doing well; did the crash do that to your belt? If so, looks badass. 

Yeah, rubbed a significant portion away as I slid. Something similar happened to my skin on one shoulder.

Thanks guys.

That is a very generous offer Chicote, these jeans have been through a lot with me and I would love to have them wearable again. I will take you up on that in the next few days. 

SG hoodie, 2-3yrs wear. Was wearing it when I dumped my bike on the highway, shredded it pretty well. Don't ride without proper gear. Check SDA thread for more pics.

Have a great 4th, stay safe.

Thanks for the input. Yeah I agree a hem would clean up the fit but it's too late for me, these are stuck at their full length. It would break my heart to cut off the factory hem at this point.

Love my 103s, honestly too big for me but whatever. Sloppy fit doesn't bother me too much.

Wore my SDAs on memorial day, went to the beach with the GF.

FC 1101

I bought my FC 1101 from Pirates, had Yuichi order me a raw pair and hem them. They were at my door in a week or so. Was a great experience.

Had my last real undergrad chemistry lab yesterday, last few are just open glassworking hours and equipment checkout so I'm taking a lazy morning.
