Maynard, you're hitting out of the park today - 3 for 3!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Great pics Maynard! And your SDA already came a long way

[Bigyen]

Amazing SD ducks from the ages ago! Still stiff as a board

 

 

 

[Geeman]

Finally ordered a pair of SDA, fingers crossed on the sizing and obsessively checking online tracking on the hour....

[Maynard Friedman]

Welcome to the SDA owners club Geeman. Which model did you order - 103/106/107?

[Geeman]

107 mate

[Bobbo]

Nice mate! SDA is fantastic, they sure deserve extra coverage.

 

Really like my 101's and wear them more often lately.

[b3ans]

Found these photos on my computer, I think they are SD-103s? Lee repro LHT on one side, Levis repro RHT on the other.

 

I must of purchased these around 2009 and the photos are probably with about a year of wear. I hope they are still in a box somewhere! Have to dig them out and keep wearing them.

 

New-ish

 

 

 

Cycling in jeans is never a good idea.

 

[Sigur Rós]

Woah! that must of been one hell of a curry

[Maynard Friedman]

^^ Great jeans b3ans!

They're not SD-103s but D1326s from around 2007:

My. 107 have just arrived and are to small 

Went off BiG measurement guide and everything is pretty spot on except for the waist, measuring the same method the waist is a good inch and half smaller at least. Can't get the top two buttons anywhere near done up.. It's either return to japan or stick a stretching block in the waist and pray for the best?

[Foxy2]

Their standard denim is pretty unforgiving - it tends to get rather worse than better with time...

Size up.

[Maynard Friedman]

What size did you get Geeman and what is your measurement of the waist?

[Geeman]

I usually wear 31 in most brands and after wear usually measure 32-32.5. These laid flat are   a hair under 30

[Maynard Friedman]

They should stretch back to 31/31.5, possibly 32 max but there's no guarantee. Is the rest of the fit ok?

[mp201]

Are they one wash?

 

Also you can totally stretch the waist if that's the only thing that won't fit. I stretched my 32oz an inch or so with a car jack. Use that if you have it.

[Geeman]

One wash model, got a block in the waist now nothing to extreme . See how they feel in the morning I suppose 

[Coolguyzack]

BIG's measurements for 103s after a wash were wildly different from Denimio's.

Perhaps they have different runs or something since the patches are different?

But yeah for szie 31, BIG has it at 29", while Denimio has it at 30.7"...That's almost 2 inches difference.

[Maynard Friedman]

The patches are different because Denimio has the domestic version featuring 2 pigs pulling a pair of jeans apart, banned outside Jspan by the Levi's ruling, whilst BiG has the export patch with the jeans obscured by Mt Fuji. Same jeans though apart from that.

Can't comment on SDA, but BiG and Denimio's measurements for the size 36 Fullcount 0105 are both wrong  (BiG got the waist right, Denimio got the other measurements right).  I'd compare measurements from other vendors on Rakuten before deciding on what size SDA to go with.

[Coolguyzack]

Sweet, I may or mat not be wearing contraband lol. 

 

That's nuts, you'd think by now we'd have it down to a science. Time for a Council of Nicea, denim edition.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

keep in mind, Denimio doesn't measure the jeans themselves (mostly) and the waist measurements they provide are by the manufacturer and are done the Japanese way: measuring the full inner circumfence. this way the waist measurement is bigger than using the BiG method

Holy shit

One of the best gaded jeans I jave seen since a while on your second pic!

Whenever finding them agaon let me know and email me more pics from them

And be sure to never ever throwing them away.

Otherwise let me know before.

It would be an honour to display them in the Jeansmuseum of heaviest fadings some day

I would like to add that they have measured pairs for me to make sure I got the right size. Tough that clearly doesn't help your case Zack.

My 101's havn't stretched much but I must say they didn't shrink a lot again when I've washed them.

[Geeman]

Decided to return and size up and go raw instead of one wash. One of the benefits of dealing with Denimo is there discount returns policy. Great guys, can't wait to get em. I got to European patch on the pair I'm returning, hoping to get the JP patch on the new pair

You are, of course, correct!

But it might take some time for them to do it...I am waiting since tuesday for some basic measurements

[Maynard Friedman]

Measurements for what b_F? Spill the beans
