Haha! Like almostnice I think, my knee fades are due to having young children.

SD-101's arrived like 4 days early from and-japan. Those guys are troopers. big time anti-fit raw, but they will settle nicely. A nice relaxed fit most definitely. Denim is dark, and has a nice hand to it. I know Im not alone in this, but is there anything better than that new raw denim smell? Ill try and get fit pics up this weekend

^This is their loosest cut, yeah? Let's see some fit pics! I'm considering a pair.

And does anyone have any good links to faded SDAs? I know there's probably some Japanese blog out there that would fit the bill.

[Maynard Friedman]

It's not their loosest cut, that would be the SD-102 (in this range).

[BrownMetallic]

do SDA's seem to get a higher than usual amount of leg twist? Every pair I have seen seems to have noticeably more than other non san'd denim. Or am I seeing things?

the wider legged model/cut like the 101s seem to have more visible/obvious twisting. usually on the left leg [ie, like most RHT]

quick and dirty fit pic. Leg twist, while not as obvious in this pic is pretty extreme. Crazy how the denim reacts to water. Im thinking about getting these hemmed, as I wear a 2" cuff on every other pair of jeans in my rotation. Still fairly damp in this pic. They measure out pretty much exactly as BiG's measurements.

[Mr-Bielby]

That looks like a great fit. What's the hem on those?

[garden gnomes in space]

after two hot soaks, right at 34". These are 33 waist

[Maynard Friedman]

After a machine wash, they'll probably end up with a 33" inseam, so bear that in mind if hemming prior to washing.

[Flash]

Perfect fit mate

I realy like the big cuff with the chucks

[bod]

Nice one, they look great + the mccoys? hoody

After a machine wash, they'll probably end up with a 33" inseam, so bear that in mind if hemming prior to washing.

The waist shrinks below tag size too, sure my 32w 103's ended up around 31"

[garden gnomes in space]

yea, my tagged 33's shrink down to like 31 0r 31.5. But they stretch out pretty quick.

sorry, didnt mean to ignore...its a Strike Gold hoody. The arms look like a fat baby sometimes, haha

Another fit pic in better (fucking direct) light. Trying to look tough.

[jackie17]

^it's good to see sda 101's get some love; the "anti-fit", grown man cut looks good with either boots or chucks, as demonstrated. plus, they're really comfortable.

oh, and a little advice: get a mirror in your pocket for when you practice lookin hard.

[vgadjo]

Type: More sda-103

Wear: Owned for a bit more than 2 years, worn around 14 months I guess

Wash: 3 hand wash and 2 machine wash

Details I like:

• a couple repairs in the crouch area
  
• the right leg 'triangle fading'
  
• the left thumb fading
  
• the whiskers...
  

[lance]

beautiful evo, vgadgo

[Sugar Mountain]

Now that is what I'm talking about! Would rep those 10 times if possible. I love seeing 103 wearers come out of the woodwork with excellent looking jeans.

[Max Power]

I'm definitely keeping an eye for the next BiG collab. Can't miss the best chance to get a pair of SDA's with a fitting inseam. Beautiful pictures in this thread.

[jstavrin]

Is it just me, or does the SDA 101's rise look a bit low?

[garden gnomes in space]

its not low. I am super sensitive to low rises (hate them) and the 101's feel on par/identical to my IH 634's, Roy RS04, FC1108 and Levi's 47 501.

[setterman]

great fit on the 101s. Rise measurements at BiG has scared me away from getting a pair though. Glad to hear they might not be as bad as I expect.

[Ignaurus]

Yea, that's what keeps me from picking them up.

[ironheartfan123]

how do they fit relative to your rs04s?

[Maynard Friedman]

The front rise on my size 32 101s (which have been washed a few times) is 11.5".

[garden gnomes in space]

how do they fit relative to your rs04s?

pretty close actually. The thighs and top block are a bit fuller on the 101's, but everything else is comparable.

[garden gnomes in space]

great fit on the 101s. Rise measurements at BiG has scared me away from getting a pair though. Glad to hear they might not be as bad as I expect.

damn sorry about the neg. Tried to quote and failed. The rise is just about perfect in my opinion, and based on your denim preferences, I would say the SD 101 is right up your alley.

[Mild7]

My 101's are one of my sensible rise pairs for sure. They are my most comfortable pair after my Nashvilles.

[setterman]

Don't worry about the rep!

BiG's measurements for the OW 101 are 1/2" less than I like. I have a pair of RJB 105s that are an inch less than I like in front rise, and I can barely stand to wear them. So, I'd be worried the 101s wouldn't really be much better. Sucks, because I've always been impressed with the results in this thread, and would love a pair of SDAs. Been lusting after them, and a pair of Flat Heads, since I came to sufu.

[Maynard Friedman]

Setterman, just ask Gordon to measure an individual pair in your size and then you'd know for sure. Based on my own pair, I'm not convinced those measurements are correct.

[BrownMetallic]

SD-101 has the shortest front rise among the 40's cut i've handled [ie, SC '47, WH 1001, RMC, ONI "blue", etc.].

the 001s LHT have more generous cut w/longer front rise, however... approx .75 to 1" higher post soak/wash.

SD 101 @W34: w= 34, ins= 33, f/r= 11, b/r= 15, u/t= 12.75, kn= 9.5, l/o= 9

WH 1001 @W33: w= 33.5, ins= 33, f/r= 11.5, b/r= 15, u/t= 12.25, kn= 9.5, l/o= 9
