at first, i enjoyed the taper on the 66 a lot. over time and several washes the leg opening got much smaller. now i can't wear them as they won't even fit over a pair of cowboy boots. the 55 has a really generous hip/thigh/rise and a very subtle taper which i think looks and feels a lot better on my body personally. i think my biggest with sugar canes in general has always been that they seem to shrink very little after their initial 2-3 washes, but then much more dramatically over time beyond that. i end up disliking the fit on a jean several months into their life cycle that i loved when i bought them one-wash.

Hi y'all! I am contemplating a pair of OW '66s and thought I should go through this great thread, having no experience with SC. I stumbled upon this above, namely that the pair might keep shrinking substantially. Now it already happened with my Orslow 105s, which are now too tapered for my liking... I just want a mid-to-high rise, full cut with a decent leg opening (> 9 in. for sz38) that won't move too much.

Could '66 owners confirm that they keep shrinking, and did anyone notice the same with the '47? Thanks!

They are pretty good but are really busy so there is a delay in comm and getting items up online. 

He only bad thing with Markkt is the cut they take, but that's the price you pay for them doing all the work!

Cheers mate, that's what I thought. Agreed on the overall simplicity...

Stick your gear on the sales thread that’s just been started - at least the cash will be all yours

I sent mostly non-SuFu-worthy stuff (Norse Projects, Folk) in December already, but will check the dedicated thread in the future! 

Does anybody have experience selling stuff with Marrkt? I sent a couple of things, but communication is a bit tough.

I read this as a sly sarcasm and laughed out loud.

Thanks. I thought it was obvious, but apparently it was too soon for this kind of jokes (for once that something is too soon about this guy).

If 40s cut, and pending on details, I am in. WH, Ooe, FW would be amazing. Dawson as well.

If we have some time, then WH Ranch?

Game for WH as well - or Tender?

I wore a RMCs N1 jacket through my first Finnish winter last year (-15ºC, snowstorms and stuff), it is still as new.
I stopped wearing it only when I needed a longer jacket for the overall fit and/or a hood, never because the jacket itself wasn't warm enough - resistance to water/snow was fine. I sized it to allow layering, but most of the times I just have a shirt underneath. I may not be the most sensitive to cold temps, so it makes me think whether I will really manage to wear it when I leave Finland... First world problems.

Hey @Collin what do you think of Kidur in terms of construction and stuff? 
I am quite interested in some of their stuff, and they have the sweet material IH used some time ago for a pretty nice shirt. 

Thanks gentlemen! I’ll keep my Crocs in the closet, then.

A bit outside the scope of superdenim, but still, what's the opinion on wearing a pair of Trickers Bourton (dainite soles) with a suit at a wedding? I am afraid they would be too bulky... 

@MasonAlexander Red Wing Williston?

Thanks for the measurements, I think the 105 dream is dead unfortunately. 

I guess 105s might be my next buy. After trying them on, I would need a size 4 (OW). Size 5 was way too big, and I am a 36 in WH and Roy. Just sayin', and also trying to revive the dream.

On a related note, I just got some one wash 60s, sz36. Do you know if there is some shrinkage left if I wash at 30°C? In any case, how much would it stretch back? 

Waist is a bit snug out of the box, and with the low-ish rise it is quite an experience right now!

Apart from Jinji, you may want to check Royalcheese, T-Bird, Gomina, and possibly the Kiliwatch shop.

Out of curiosity, did you size up as well?

I have both the standard in sateen and the slim in a light, darker cotton. It is neither sateen nor ripstop, can't remember which version it is, I got it from the Bureau a couple of years ago. I loooove my fatigues.

Hi there, I finally dare to contribute to this kind of denim cornucopia! Pardon my English, I am French.

can someone post a fit pic of the Memorials or Peanuts with sneakers? I have only seen fit pics with boots so far

Here are my Peanuts after a cold wash, a few months ago. It shrank a lot and could shrink more, but I want to keep a fuller silhouette with this one. Sneakers are Common Projects.

Also, more recent miscellaneous shots, taking advantage of the sun: denim hairiness, coin pocket (shaped like the back ones, love that, and the pocket fabric is quite sturdy), comparison with my beloved WH 800 and so-so ONIs... Roy makes some fine pants, for sure!
