whyyyyyyyy??

There's a must have pair!

They damn sexy!

Seriously though, I would like to have a piece of SDA denim with this hand-painting framed in my study.

and people hate on evisu lol

I think you're correct and SDA does use natural indigo from India for some of their jeans.

Maybe it's the SDA natural indigo denim jacket I'm thinking of?

[mikecch]

and people hate on evisu lol

^ but the pigs are so cute!

Seriously though, these are made for the denim hobbyist dads in Japan to wear on the weekends whilst waxing his SDA leathers - would look douche on anybody else

I would buy a pair once I reach hobbyist-dad status!

Hmmm. Maybe I will have to change back into the 55 for the next few days.

Can anyone here give me some info on the D1466?

I ordered some 103s the other day. Turns out they're a half inch larger raw than the last run, not sure if the waist will shrink enough for my taste after several hot washes. So I'm thinking about sending them back and buying the D1466 instead.

My only real questions are shrinkage (guessing inch, inch and a half in the waist. .5inch elsewhere) and if they're pure or natural indigo. BiG lists it as "Genuine indigo."

[morse9443]

Seems like those painted asses are a decent size part of Evisu and SDA lineups, but I've never seen anyone on here with a pair. I never see any JP guys in Lightning or Free & Easy wearing them either.

Who's wearing that shit?

[Stacks]

collectors will buy (and not wear) anything.

[Ammit]

I like the actual paintings on those jeans, but would never wear them as it seems really tacky. But those are the best paintings I've seen on a pair of jeans so far.

The D1466 is a zip fly model that is cut fairly similar to the SD-103. Supposedly its denim is tightly woven yet a bit slubby at the same time, something that you don't see too often.

I don't own this model, but I think your shrinkage estimates will be pretty accurate for this one, since it is a tightly woven denim.

Also, the D1466 is not a natural indigo model.

I have the Kojima D1466 in a size 30. The waist shrank 1.5" and about 0.5" elsewhere (front and back rise), as you predicted. Leg opening shrank 0.25" and inseam shrank 2.5" for me.

Pure synthetic indigo.

Denim is a nod to the older SDA fabrics many years back when they were mostly using fabric that resembled old Cone ones.

Seems like those painted asses are a decent size part of Evisu and SDA lineups, but I've never seen anyone on here with a pair. I never see any JP guys in Lightning or Free & Easy wearing them either.

Hobbyists dads!

Agreed.

You can't compare this to the simple graffiti on Evisu's - although both equally outrageous

Would kop and frame if they did it on a denim canvas.

My SDA 003 @6month. (lots of pics)

[Pi-tol]

Continue.....

[chambo2008]

Damn what was in your right back pocket?

[Flash]

[Pi-tol]

Oh shit Flash you are so correct (first 3). Lol let me change that. Those are my Samurai 526XXII also worn for 6 months.

[Flash]

nice one mate , leather patch looks realy nice too

[mikecch]

This one looks nice:

And mine, a quick update:

Thread is fraying and starting to break in the loop which the belt passes through...not that it matters, since the leather is a single piece.

Looking to get a new holder soon.

Shameless plug for my SDA D1388

[soundsounds]

I picked up the indigo dyed loopwheel sweatshirt a month or so ago.

Got some sauce stains on it during a drunk night...

How would one go about washing it?

To minimize indigo loss, I would hand wash it. if that's too much trouble, or if the stains are too stubborn, you'll have to go with the machine wash. I would recommend something like Dr. Bronner's for detergent.

really really nice pairs there Paul and Flash. +rep when i can.

[Atzec]

X-Post from HwDCotW-thread:

SDA - Xs31 (Black Pig) for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

The denim is 21oz with the weft died black, which actually makes the difference from an oerdye, i think.

Stand up for the Champions!

Construction is second to none.

Presoak fit:

Soaking right now.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great pair! wow...yeah that's indeed different to an OD

The post soak fit will be superb!

[mikecch]

BAAAAAAAAM!

Nice purchase Atzec

[lance]

Yes, beautiful jeans, Atzec. I'm looking closely at these and would appreciate pre and post soak measurements; especially shrinkage in waist. thanks

[Atzec]

hey lance, i din´t take all measurements before soak, but the waist was 34" pre and now it´s 31.5"-32" "while still damp), which is gonna be tight to begin with but i guess they´ll stretch back quickly.

[lance]

Thanks, Atzec, appreciate it. I'm looking at the 34 waist, supposedly 35 pre soak. If I can keep them at 35 (with 2x4 in waist, haha), they will be perfect. hmmm... they certainly are beauties!
