Studio D'artisan

EDIT: I love the 3-D effect that the whiskers on SDAs produce.

 

This denim is amazing: the deep contrast, the crease potential as you noticed. They're quite hard to fade but the result is worth it.

As the 101s are a bit wider, it must be harder to get them to crease enough, especially in the combs I guess.

[ummmwoah]

Just received my pair of SD-107 from Denimio. I have to agree about the quality of service from this shop. They don't have a Union Special for chainstitching, but when I asked, Kanako had them hemmed directly from SDA before shipping them to me. Really great service. Will update with fit pics and measurements in the next couple days.

[Geeman]

SD107, sanforized or unsanforized? I thought they come in one wash but Blueowl lists them as unsanforized? ..or available in both?

[Maynard Friedman]

The SD-10* range (like most denim used by SDA in fact) is NOT sanforized but is available both raw and as one-wash.

[Bobbo]

My SD101 is unsanforized and if I'm not mistaken they use the same denim in the entire 10-series. 

I recall seeing Blue in Green stocking SDA in both raw and one wash.

Figured I'd throw something into the mix other than denim.  Picked up this shirt a while back and really have started to love it.  Great details and an excellent fit.  Since I wear a size XL in SDA tee shirts, sizing is always a concern, when they make an XL at all.

Need that shirt, mind if I ask you where you got it?

[HoustonChris]

I got it from Heath Industrial, on Rakuten.  They don't ship outside Japan, so I proxied through SuToCorp.  I like Heath Industrial; I've bought 5-6 tee shirts from them and it's always gone smoothly.  And of course, SuToCorp is well known around these parts, so no worries there, either.

[bradl]

Kind of odd they have a global page, but don't ship outside Japan. Also too bad it doesn't have the model #

[HoustonChris]

Maybe that was inaccurate; they emailed me to say that they wouldn't ship to the US.  They may ship to a few other countries, though.  Since you're in Canada, it might be worth emailing them to ask.  Their English is a bit shaky, or perhaps auto translated, but it's better than my Japanese.

 

Oh, and I checked the tags- looks like the model number is 9679.

[bradl]

Awesome, appreciate it Chris. Found a store doing a point special along with a beige option of the shirt.

[ummmwoah]

Fit pics as promised, and sorry for crap quality. SD-107 one washed size 28. Purchased from Denimio, hemmed by SDA.

[Bobbo]

The fit looks good although it's a little hard to see because of the lighting.   Keep us updated on the progress!

That reminded me, I should get some fitpics up on my SD-101's from last summer.

SDA is definitely worth more love than they get around here.

[Maynard Friedman]

Your last point is true Bobbo, but I quite like it that way!

[bradl]

Ughhh got my SDA repaired, and received an email saying she had to wash them as they were still dirty in the cuffs. She hasn't responded to my email asking if she didn't put them in the dryer......

 

Just needed to vent on that.

[Chubacca]

^^^^ Yikes

[Bobbo]

Fitpics of my SD-101's. Wasn't used with the higher waist at first but by now I'm loving it! They're really comfy without being too wide for my taste.

 

The colour is really deep. They've got about 2 months of wear so far and have just barely started to show some light whiskering. These will be stubborn seeing how slow my jeans fade. More SDA for me!

Very Blue Oyster Bar Bobbo!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Great straight fit! And already a good amount of leg twist

[lance]

Perfect, that's the way jeans should fit!

[Bobbo]

Very Blue Oyster Bar Bobbo!

 

I had completely forgotten that scene from the police academy! Seems like I still remembered it unconsiously though. Good stuff!

[Sugar Mountain]

Terrific fit Bobbo. I really like how those look.

 

Who would've thought we'd be referencing Police Academy in 2014? Films that shaped a generation...

[echau]

Anyone have the D1625? I'm thinking about picking up a pair at BiG, but was wondering if any owners would give their thoughts on them?

[tchengaa]

very nice fit bobbo. i have been wearing my 101s for 3 years already, but they seem a bit big for me, maybe because of my toned thighs n calves lol

[oomslokop]

fit update on champloo jeans after 2nd (machine) wash:

 

 

 

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Great extreme twist on the right leg there!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Nice fit Mikael! They son't look that tight like you said to me

[bod]

Nice them and $pendy too

[oomslokop]

@maynard yes im starting to get frustrated that the left leg is not twisting as far!

 

@b_F no youre right, going by measurements only i shouldnt have been able to button it all the way to the top but it was no problem. rise and thighs/legs are never a problem for me, just the waist. the lower rise actually help in my case (ruminated about this once before maybe even on this thread) since the waist then doesnt dig into my beer belly.

[bradl]

Besides the champloo jeans, anyone know if we can expect any other 35th anni denim coming soon. Or would that be a a/w thing?
