I really like their flagship denim. Has some similarities to Denime's XX denim. At least in the early stages.

I also considered the 101 from time to time. I would probably really like the more medium rise.

[blooming]

I see the similarities to Denime XX but with a darker dye and tighter weave. I think the 101 would work well for you @beautiful_FrEaK. 

[Thanks_M8]

On the same page as the lads before me with the flagship denim  really sturdy denim, can develop lots of character as well. 

Re rise: Even the 102s I had could have had more rise front and back, gets worse with the stiff denim...

the 202s are the same cut, but it's less noticeable, because of the lacking stiffness of the denim.

seconding everyone re flagship denim. tender's standard 17oz denim is very similar down to the blue selvedge line. and youll definitely get massive rises on them!

Huh?

There's some lovely stuff in the SDA 45th anniversary collection. I'm excited about the kaki-kyoku persimmon selection for starters (I only see it on the OD site for now)... I ordered the pants and I'm seriously considering the jacket...

Anyone got the SD502? Looks like a straight and great fit. 50s inspired? https://www.dartisan-onlineshop.com/SHOP/SD-502.html

[Mtvare]

Seems like an extremely low rise for a 50s fit. Or any fit for that matter. 

[Maynard Friedman]

The rise on SDA jeans does seem a little short compared to most repro brands. I think the 502 may be 50s inspired but isn’t classic 50s. I wore the 101 in a size 32 some years back and if I remember correctly the front rise was about 11” or so, maybe a little more (that’s after much wearing and washing) - another inch and they’d have been perfect. Those 502s seem to have an even lower front rise.

interestingly, I also have a raw pair of (out of production) SD-001 in size 31. These are a 14oz LHT pair rather than the 15oz RHT 101s. They have a higher rise, bigger waist and thigh measurements than another raw pair of 101s I also have in size 32, although both are supposed to be based on the same cut. The 001s seem to be a more authentic 50s cut.

[JDelage]

I think the SD-502 is simply the 12oz version of the SD-102, which itself is basically a wider leg version of the SD-101, so it retains the low rise.

Went into Self Edge today looking for a Hawaiian shirt fully expecting to buy something from Sun Surf and walked out with this instead.
Love the print and the fit is really nice, will be bringing it on vacation next week.
Plus it was my wife's favorite, so had to get it.

[MJF9]

@Broark a nice play on Hokusai's The Great Wave Off Kanagawa

[NilsLW]

Nice that’s a cool shirt

[Thanks_M8]

202s in the early morning. Got them 2017 hardly worn but second hand.

Left knee torn, right back pocket as well, pocket entries have been repaired, crotch has been repaired.

Have cut them off a few years ago because the original inseam was about 37" post shrink and I got tired of cuffing.

[JDelage]

Went to get an x-ray today and someone in the wait room was wearing a shirt I'd recognize anywhere....

 

 

[JDelage]

So, SDA is usually pretty good at their job, but a few months ago I bought a pair of wabash pants from them, and the pattern matching on the leg isn't great...

[Geeman]

I received my D5335 work shirt from Rodeo yesterday,  returning as its to big anyway but couldn't help but notice that the chest pockets weren't aligned. 

Not sure if it's intentional, hard to tell looking at the SDA site images but looking back at Rodeos images you can see it. 

Another incoming form R&H so will find out on Wednesday!

[Hog River Denim]

A quick SDA question -- does anyone here know if they make their super tight straight / tapered in any other fabrics or styles than their SD-107? This seems to be the perfect fit for me, and I'd like to try a different fabric. Thanks all!!

I have only ever seen the 107 in the standard denim.

I wanted a new pair but I was looking for something quirkier than usual. I’m not a good photographer but I’m really liking these. 1890s style repro with some SDA twists. 

have a pair myself ..really like them SDA's take on the Levis 1890 model.

I believe the 1 in the 108 is the 15oz, the 5 in the 508 is the 12oz. SE had the SD-507...

Hooray! After two abortive delivery notifications from FedEx in which I convinced myself they had been mislaid, and nearly 10 years of intermittent curiosity, I finally join the noble brethren of pigfanciers. 

And they fit. Good news to end the year.

That’s fantastic news @exaptavist, perhaps you should change your username to something suitably suidae related to mark the occasion!

[exaptavist]

 haha, indeed, something relating to a lardy viscosity perhaps  

Quite a crease from folding and shipping, so I want to see if I can soak that out , but as is I'm pleased with the cut and fit on these; they're what I'd suggest are a more than acceptable modern, everyday cut.  

Very gloomy and overcast here today, but I'll try and get some measurements up.

How did the replacement work out for you @Geeman in terms of fit and alignment/symmetry?

[exaptavist]

Nice that.  Are these the ones with the rather too tight arms / forearms?

Yeah the pockets were definitely wonky on the first purchase. Rodeo were spot on with service with the refund/return I might add. The one from R&H , pockets were not 100% aligned but far less noticeable.

Compared to  my other SDA shirts the armhole and sleeves were fine, usually far too high/tight. 

It's a beast of a denim shirt. My other (UES) feels like a chambray in comparison 

[exaptavist]

Cool, cheers mate, good info.

About the armhole, I know just what you mean. In tailoring, it's called the armscye. Patterned too high is distinctly uncomfortable - affects how a garment fits across the upper back too. 

By the way, I think it was you who first identified the SD-100 model I've just bought, in a post some time back.  I'd been eyeing them up ever since until deciding to buy, so cheers for that.

[Geeman]

Would be interested to get the measurements of your pair as they are on my radar
