Thanks mate - no I didn't hem them, I left the original inseam as is (95 cm when raw, shrunk down to 88 cm after soaking).

P.S. Just for reference, I'm 184.5 cm in height.

Makes sense. I guess with the name "Indigo Shrimp", I assumed that you might be shorter, LOL.

[mikecch]

^ Oh, hahaha, I raise shrimps, that's why.

I'm working on breeding a species of colour-changing, Australian fresh-water dwarf-shrimp that turns indigo when they are happy (hence the blog name).

LOL! You'll have to show us if you succeed.

[mikecch]

I will, I have bred them successfully - it's just hard to make them change indigo, since only fully grown females would do so under optimal conditions... ummm, anyway, back on topic!

23oz jeans are back - two models, Levi's style RHT and Lee style LHT:

Back in my SDA103, for the fall weather...

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Which Japanese webstores are stocking these?

[Pi-tol]

Hey Mikecch, what's the post wash measurements on those size 36 BiG style?

[tigger]

Hey Paul. I just got my third pair of SDA 103. had to buy 34" as the 32's were too small and sold them on the ' bay. Slow fades but lovely dark denim. Now in rotation with IH 634-S and FH 3005.

[mikecch]

Which Japanese webstores are stocking these?

They are the d1496 - be warned they are 25 to 26 oz post-soak thought!

They stock them at 藍着堂, Blue Marble, and More-Net.

Hey Mikecch, what's the post wash measurements on those size 36 BiG style?

85 cm in the waist and 88 cm inseam.

[Pi-tol]

How bout the thigh measurements Mikecch?

[mikecch]

^ Around 31 cm.

[Pi-tol]

So their cut smaller than the regular 03 cut, cause a size 34 thigh measures BiG style @ 31.75 cm. I guess what I'm saying is your size 36 thigh measures smaller than my size 34 in the 03 cut. ???? That's weird.

[kit99bar]

Thigh measurements are always different based on who did them. I always take them with a grain of salt:)

[mikecch]

^ +1.

Let me know at what point from the start of the inseam you want me to measure.

[Pi-tol]

Its cool Mikecch, much thanks . Kit99bar is right. I just know that some times when they do a heavier denim they seem to always measure smaller than the lighter weight denim. When I measure thigh I do it from the crotch to the out seam.

[mikecch]

No worries.

I measured it from the crotch to the outseam too!

[lostinthesupermarket]

Hey Mike...any chance you can crosspost the SDA Lees to the Leepro thread? I love 'em ....the patch is hilarious.

Nice pick up on the Pants shop collab as well. They look great.

[mikecch]

^ Done - love the patch too (would love to see this on one of their outrageous T-shirts ), just think it's a bit on the thin side for such heavy denim.

Thanks for your kind words - more pics to come, not enough SDA love

[morse9443]

x-post from evo for posterity:)

103's with a few years of on/off wear..I grew out of them for a while and recently shrunk back into them. no washes but soaked a bunch of times.

[Flash]

good job mate, but again must spread

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[wahwho11]

If you don't mind my asking, what bothers you about a lined yoke?

[mikecch]

^ It's not an authentic WWII detail.

But then again, I wouldn't buy SDA for spot-on repro details, there's WH, SC, McCoy, etc for that.

Come on, pigs on the patch FTW!

[Flash]

i know its not an authentic repro ive allways loved SDA's for there quirkiness , i dont realy know why i didnt like the lined yoke just didnt

has anyone seen anything about the christmas model for this year

[mikecch]

The second pair SDA x PSA collaboration jeans is out now!

Much the same details as the first collab., but with 15oz denim on the 103 cut instead of the 21 oz.
