good thing you sized up..sda's waist is a real pain

[kalpa1103]

i sized up one.

the pics are already somewhere in this thread, but anyways...

this was presoak:

post:

mhm...looking pretty good. they are actually on the slimmer side compared with most other SDAs. was that double cuff in the post-soak pics?

thx!

[Atzec]

yeah, small double cuff. the length was 33.5" after soak.

[GBOB]

Nice Indy's Atzec. I decided to go with the Clippers, but was tough deciding!

Pre-Soak Pics (soaking should sort out the lower legs)

I know my cuffs are pretty crappy, just did it quickly.

Very pleased with the jeans, good construction and the denim looks good quality.

[LC_Miey]

top block looks almost perfect, and im positive the legs will shrink up post soak. nice pickup!

[Pi-tol]

I hate that red tab thing that SDA is doing. It look so tackey. I want the japanese flag back!

[mikecch]

^ I actually prefer the red tab. I use to cut off the flag tabs off my SDAs.

[Pi-tol]

So you like the look of the new red tab? I could see if it was like a tab, but its not, its just sew on the back pocket.

[mikecch]

Yep - I have a pair of Clipper's as well.

[Harry Hood]

Sizing advice on the Clippers??

[mikecch]

^ TTS for a traditional straight.

[Harry Hood]

Awesome I might have to grab 'em off superdenim.co.uk

thanks alot.

[rjsavestheday]

@Flash awesome 103's man! i wish mine turned out like that haha

[Flash]

Thanks For All The Coments And Rep , I Realy Love The Sda Denim I Think Im Gona Try The 14oz Denim For My Next Sda ,i Seen It At Take5 And It Seems Realy Nice Totaly Differant From The 15oz Standard Denim

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You pute the SDA (101 in my case) back on my wishlist! Thx for that

[SLAB]

@Flash, those are some of the best faded 101's ive seen + rep

[mikecch]

Just bought a pair of these, only 40 made I think.

21 oz in a 103 cut!

[Ahlvahroe]

i dont know if this has been posted cause i havent really checked this thread in a while but damn some of the fits on their webpage for the fading challenge are awful. i know they generally wear them baggier in japan than we do on the future but woah.

they look great mike , i would have jumped on those if i hadnt bought a pair of momotaro's last night

[mikecch]

^ Flash, which ones did you get?

SDA is doing a second collab with Pants Shop which is coming out soon! Apparently it's another 103 style cut (their most popular in Japan), but with a few twists...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I only saw one collab on Naoki's page and that was with a zip fly. So does your pair have a zip fly? Is the denim sanforized?

Unsanforized and zip fly still kinda scares me But I'm not a friend of zip fly anyway.

So after that pair it seems that the Whikey Cat and Samurai still have to wait?

[mikecch]

Naoki said they are unsanforised, and the reason why they used a Universal zipper was because customer feedback to SDA said buttons were too hard to do up on the 21 and 23 oz jeans.

I'll let you know how they go after some hot-soaking!

I'm thinking they'll be OK - my RJB 66bspbk from SE were also unsanforised with zipper fly, and they have worked well so far

And yeah, Whisky Cat and Samurai will have to wait at least til next month (my parents are going to Japan soon, maybe I'll get them to proxy me ).

I'm also tossing up whether to get the 18 oz Summer Campaign or the Book of Five Rings Musashi edition (with blue/black weft/warp) - similar cut and details, but different denim - so hard to decide without seeing the denim in person

[SLAB]

Mike, those look great, any fit pictures?

[mikecch]

Mike, those look great, any fit pictures?

I haven't got them yet - 3 day countdown

I'll put up some pics when they arrive.

They have the 03 cut, similar to the SD-103, SD-003, SD-103XX, etc

I found out the second shop (only 2 shops in Japan) carrying the 21oz collab.

It's Frisbee, but they don't have a special collab. patch though. Some pictures from Frisbee:

@ mikecch

i got the 0201's mate , i saw them at take5 and loved them but i had allready bought 3 other pairs and that was realy pushing my luck with the misses.

[mikecch]

Oh wow, big spending spree

Nice pick up!

I know it's off-topic, but did you by any chance look at their 10th anniversary collabs with RJB, Tedman's, PBJ, etc?

Can you shed some light on the new 13.5 oz RJB denim or the new PBJ denim?
