lance 127,430 Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks for the photos, kukupoint, fit looks good. Tell me, do you find them comfortable, does the knee feel restricted in any way? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kukupoint 186 Posted March 23, 2017 Hi lance, it is not my jeans.In short,men did not expect such a small shrinkage,but he has achieved total comfort (in the knee also comfortable).Initially a little tight at the top,but just a few sit-UPS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 23, 2017 So do I understand this correctly, waist didn't shrink at all because of a limiter? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 24, 2017 Denimio gave me the following actual measurements for the D1728: Quote waist flat: 80cm front rise: 28cm upper thigh width: 32cm inseam: 93.5cm hem: 18.5cm ---------------------- From STUDIO D'ARTISAN official web site, the weist will shrink 3-4cm and length shrink 5-6cm. Those aren't far off from the size chart on Denimio. The hem is smaller than the hem on my Samurai X Denimio 710, which I find super weird, since all pics of those jeans don't seem to show that much taper. The top block on the other hand seems so roomy that I could probably get a 29 and have it fit like my F380 in 30 after a bit of stretch. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lance 127,430 Posted March 24, 2017 We all seem to be going through the same thought process. In the end, you either rolll the dice or pass them to the next shooter! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 24, 2017 Yeah I'll think about if I just want to risk it and trust that after hemming I still could pull them over my taller boots (I hate owning jeans that I can't wear with all my boots). I've recently received a gift card for Denimio that is burning a hole in pocket so I'm more or less just looking for things to buy that I don't actually need 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 24, 2017 Well it was a slow day at work, so I had time to think I hope so too, but I'm also sure that I can recuperate some of the cost if they shouldn't work out for me.

JDelage 2,394 Posted March 24, 2017 Got the SDA D5335 shirt from Pants Shop Avenue yesterday. Very happy with the shirt and the service at PSA. The shirt fits my body better than the IH dble indigo denim work shirt, which I'm therefore going to sell I think. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

propellerbeanie 958 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) My SDA D1723 jeans and B-83 belt in black came in the mail today. The jeans are currently in the wash, but here are the prewash measurements for the size 30 measured BiG style. I'll enter the postwash measurements when they've dried, and for reference, I put my jeans into a hot machine wash to shrink. Prewash SDA D1723 size 30: Waist 41cm (16.1") Front rise 28.5cm (11.2") Back rise 39.5cm (15.6") Thigh 31.5cm (12.4") Knee 23.5cm (9.3") Hem 22cm (8.7") Inseam 93cm (36.6") Hopefully I'll be able to post some detail and fit pictures of both items, but for now, just use your imagination...

Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 30, 2017 Wearing my D1728 right now - received and washed yesterday, but they dried surprisingly fast I'll take some (fit) pics and measurements later, here's my first impressions so far: - certainly pretty tapered, at least more than a Samurai 710 in the same size. I have no idea why you would call these a slim straight - I don't really care though They fit and look great - Really soft. Pulling them out of the machine after a 40° wash and slow rpm spin cycle didn't feel like any other raw unsanforized jeans I ever had. Probably less starch in them, too. They still felt pretty crisp, but not hard at all. In fact they're so soft that they didn't even keep sharp folding creases like you see most of the time, they pretty much went away on their own just from pulling them in shape and putting on a hanger. - They fit really TTS. They've been comfy from the second minute. The taper is pretty strong from the knee on down, but now that the fabric had a few hours to settle, I'm pretty satisfied with the fit. I'll wear them a few days before I decide how much to get them hemmed, wearing with a sloppy triple folded cuff right now. Here's a quick and dirty fit pic from earlier today. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
propellerbeanie 958 Posted March 30, 2017 @Cucoo I just looked up the pair you have, and is Giza cotton the Egyptian version of Supima? From what little information I've read, I can imagine that they're really soft. Despite not being a big fan of slim tapered fits, I think those look pretty groovy on you. I'm still waiting for my D1723 to dry so I can trot around in them too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks! What I know is only from the SDA blurb, so yeah, those are like the two longest cotton types so softest, too. Denimio calls these "THE WORLD'S THREE MAJOR COTTON JEANS" but I have no idea what the third type would be, probably a typo. By the way, Denimio also calls these "low rise" but no, not all. I'll measure them tonight but the rise fits like on the higher side of medium on me. Also, the top block and thighs aren't overly slim either, definitely more roomy right of the bat than the 21oz Samurai S5000vx or the SamXDMO 710 I have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lance 127,430 Posted March 30, 2017 Looks like a good fit! Tighter knee down than I had thought. I have wondered about the 3rd cotton too, Cocoo? If you took measurements before and after wash I'd appreciate you posting them; especially knee dimensions. thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cucoo 4,630 Posted March 30, 2017 SD1728 Pre wash: waist flat: 40cm front rise: 28cm upper thigh width: 32cm inseam: 93.5cm hem: 18.5cm Post wash and a full day of wear: waist flat: 39cm front rise: 26cm thigh: 29cm inseam: 88cm hem: 17,5cm I can probably stand to lose at least 10cm of inseam before cuffing which will bring the hem up to 18cm and make for a cleaner look with a small double cuff instead of the big-ish triple cuff I do right now. The top block measurements are pretty much identical to my favorite cut, TFH F380, yet the rise feels higher on these. Inseam shrunk by 5,5cm which matches official SDA numbers of 5-6cm - I have no idea if they have some shrink left in them or not. Here's two more fit pics from later today. The back pockets are spaced pretty far apart as I do notice now. Also a few detail shots. 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do easier know-how of all times and peoples Met special products on eBay or on other sites....it's a disposable toy...crumbling waste of money.
