And the long overdues fit pics!

 

 

I think I might need a new place for taking fit pics...or a better angle

[Hendsch]

Just got my SD-307's back from Rain and Tyler at Indigo Proof, and boy am I happy! I'll post up some fit pics when I can convince my wife to take some shots for me.

@b_F nice, looks almost the same as a 103. for me this is one of those jeans that on paper (patch) may look ordinary but somehow just pumps me nads.

Does anyone have recommendations for something similar to the sd-103 but with a looser weave. The cut seems good but reading here people are saying they don't breath well

[Geeman]

Just get the SDA if the measurements work for you, great jeans

[chicote]

Yeah, I agree--the SDAs are really great, and they'll start to breathe better once they've been worn and washed some. That said, you could look into Fullcount or TCB if you want a more breathable fabric right off the bat; the latter has their own 60s repro which is quite similar to the 103 and the former does too, though I can't recall which model number it is.. 1101? 0105?

[Hendsch]

No fit pics, but here they are.

 

Just got my SD-307's back from Rain and Tyler at Indigo Proof. I gave them free reign to do whatever needed to be done and boy did Rain go to town! So many little things that I did not notice have been fixed, replaced, or reinforced. If you have the time (took a loooong time) I highly recommend sending your stuff to them.  

 

Anyway here they are, maybe about 5 months of effective wear and countless washes:

Each button hole was reinforced:

 Cuff repair and reinforcing:

 

There is still more done to them that I'm randomly finding...

[chicote]

5 months of wear?? Holy smokes! Those look fantastic dude!

[itsbenhere]

That darning is just beautiful!

Thanks! SDA's 18oz fabric fades really fast, also I think the amount of travel I did in them and washes helped a ton.

That darning is just beautiful!

It really is, Rain is worth every penny!

Congrats to your fasr fading denim evo results

[Bobbo]

Very nice stuff mate. And sure looks like they fade fast, definitely more pronounced than my 101's that has about 9 months of wear and a couple of washes.

[Hendsch]

Spent today wth my SD-307's and my dog up in the San Gabrial Mountains. Was a great 6-mile hike up to Mount Islip, an 8,250 foot peak above the Los Angles basin.

10 year old Lab still going strong! Anyway, thought I'd share 

 

PS. don't let people tell you there is no nature around LA.

[chambo2008]

selling my pretty much brand new SD-103xx size 30 not been altered what should i be asking??

[conqueror]

what's the most similar fit to eternal 883s: sd103? sd 107? 883s fit me almost perfectly, although a sliiiiiiightly wider upper thigh wouldn't hurt.

[Maynard Friedman]

Have a look at the BiG size charts for comparison as they sell all of the above. Might want to include SD-106 in the mix too.

[conqueror]

aren't big charts often inaccurate, though?

[karanimal]

I've found the BiG charts to be the most accurate

Decide to clear closet space. Selling a new shirt for $40:

[Mr-Bielby]

My 003XX are almost dead. I'm just sick of needing to get them fixed. 210 days and 10 washes for those that are interested.

[lance]

Great pair of SDAs, Mr-Bielby, nice work!

[Mr-Bielby]

Thank you Mr Lance

from my experience you would need to downsize the 103 to fit like a 883 for eternal

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Great denim evo Bielby!

Keep them alive for ever

Just a quick update. I've started to wash my 307's whenever they feel dirty, which is starting to be about once a week (18oz in LA heat). 

Here they are at just about 6 months of wear: 

Texture is really starting to pop:

[Hendsch]

just picked up some SD-101's from Yahoo Japan. These are the widest pants I own so they are gonna take some time to adjust to but I'm getting used to it.

[Bobbo]

Oh man, those are gorgeous. 

Now I might just pick out my pair for a spin tomorrow. 

[tigerstrom]

I need some SDAs again, I really like the denim. Maybe the 101s are the way to go!
