StandByMe

Here are some post hot-wash pictures.  Max was right about the waist shrinking too much because it feels like a 33.5 waist after the wash, when I got a 35.  There is some muffin topping going on, but I'm not too concerned because they'll stretch back out when I've broken them in, I've been having a bad diet lately, and I was able to button them up without any issues before the wash.  I'm glad I sized up from TTS.  

 

 

 

 

 

Great fit

Still waiting for the right foot to heal properly, so I can road-test these English Tan Latigo Derby :: 1035 :: Partially structured toes :: Flat natural GYW :: Dainite

Great pair of shoes!

 

Type: D1657

Worn for: 1 hour

Washes: 1 soak, 1 wash

 

A more active SDA thread, great!

 

Here's the new comer for winter rotation: D1657, the 18.5oz 107 silouhette new SDA.

 

Gave them a warm soak and a wash. They did not shrink that much. My measures before wash were really close to the one you can find on SDA official webshop.

 

The after soak measures (cm):

 

SDA 1657 s29

waist 77 -- 76

front 25 -- 24

inseam 90 -- 87

back 35 -- 33

leg 16.5 -- 16

thigh 29 -- 27

 

Just tried them on for an hour or so. First feedback are:

• They're so confortable from the get-go! It's a very different feeling from the SG5109 where you feel like you're forcing your way in, especially the knees.
• The denim doesn't feel that heavy compared to say some 17oz Sammies.
• the top block is the same as the SD-103 cut (measured both).
• can't wait for the temperature to drop and give them some wear!

 

 

In the meantime, here are a few pics:
