Any info on the SD303 ? :

Same cut as the SD103, a bit slimmer ? Different denim ?

that actually made me laugh so i repped him too

[Arthur75]

Anybody has experience with the new d'artisan 21oz denim ?

I read somewhere the cut was the SD103 one, which I own and find great, but according to BiG size table the rise and upper thigh are bigger, for a 32 :

SD 103 rise : 10.75

thigh : 12.5

For the 21 oz :

rise : 11.5

thigh : 13.25

Is it due to the 21 shrinking more or really different cut ?

The latest 21oz version that I've seen was based on the 101 cut. Longer rise, 'hips' and carrot leg. Really nice, dark denim, with a slight purple tinge, much nicer fabric than their original 21oz. Great, thick leather patch.

Anyone knows more about this?

Very interesting indigo color but I can't find info elsewhere about this...

I've seen them. Vivid blue indigo, (if you'll excuse the pleonasm), which from the pink flowered plant photo in the link, appears to be from Dyer's Knotweed, Polygonum Tinctorium. The indigo plant from South China/Vietnam, that's cultivated in the Tokushima district.

Unlike some of the top end natural indigo offers from other Japanese 'repro' brands (eg Pure Blue, Samurai) , the denim is relatively flat in texture. Very different from their SD101/103XX natural indigo jeans, which are far more understated.

thanks for the info, would have been the 103 cut pretty sure I would have fallen for these, but with the 101cut I'm saved from them !

edit : looking at below page (ref D1405) :

http://www.dartisan.co.jp/bottoms4.html

they look more like a straight 103 cut, these are the same BiG has ?

[ringring]

I don't know what BIG has, but I remember that the gentleman in the Osaka SDA store describing the 21oz jeans as '101 cut' and seeing them worn confirmed that.

Unfortunately, I don't recall the model number, so am unable to verify if the ones I saw were SD1405.

[Arthur75]

Yes from this page :

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bluemarble/dartisan1405/

It looks like the 1405 are the 101 cut (and SD101 written in the size chart table)

Let's hope they use this denim for a 103 cut sometimes !

[ringring]

Yes, those were the jeans I referred to.

You may want to look at Samurai's S5000VX 21oz jeans then. Closer to the SD103 cut.

Yes but apparently they are sold out everywhere (some small sizes remaining at 2nd)

The 21oz denim Studio D' artisan uses is the exact same denim Iron Heart uses in there jeans. Iron Heart may even use a newer and more improved version! Eternal also used this for a 21oz jean they made.

Iron Heart uses this denim in all of there main line and most collaboration jeans, so check them out. Self Edge sells them here in America with free shipping.

Oh, and I have a size 32 Samurai S5000 21oz for sale in my signature if you were looking for that size.

Hope it helps!

Thks for the info, didn't know that, in fact I have some IH 634S (and like them a lot, in winter on motorbike or scooter makes quite a difference for temperature), but iron heart denim is sanforized, and D'artisan 21oz is listed as shrink to fit, so how can they be the same ? What about the samourai 21oz denim ?

I can't really offer you anymore detail other than it is the same denim. I'm betting you that even though it is listed as "Shrink to Fit" it really has minimal shrinkage. I would shoot BIG an email to confirm.

It could be as a little of a difference as the Studio's being raw and the Iron Heart's being the "one wash" sanforization process (because that is all Sanforization really is.. an extreme one wash done before the fabric is cut and sewn).

Beautiful denim either way. Samurai's 21oz denim is a whole different beast than Iron Heart/Eternal/Studio D'artisan's 21oz denim. Not only is it extremely hard to produce and limited edition itt is a true (single warp and weft) 21oz denim where as the D'artisan and others is I believe a single warp and double weft or possibly a double warp and single weft. Either of which leads to the lighter color of the Iron Heart's and the strange slanted lines the Iron Heart denim seems to give off.

I like both (I have three pairs of Iron Hearts at my house!), but the Samurai takes the crown in heft, thickness, and how stiff it is.

hot washed a pair of 103s to get the shrinking out of the way...drying now

post wash pics when dry

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Just picked up these amazing flannels. A little too hot for the Australian summer/early autumn but they'll get a lot of play over winter.

Just a couple of questions for anyone that has owned any SDA (or similar brand) flannel before:

Is the chain-stitch thread that hangs out from the side-seams likely to unravel with wear/wash and slowly bring the whole side apart?

Also, do these shirts require any special washing method (ie, vegetable soaps, hand-wash etc..) or can I just use regular detergent and throw them in the machine?

Thanks in advance!

[chantheman]

[Turntabloid]

I am thinking about selling my SDA XXX-28 Limited Edition (Natural Indigo/Cordovan Patch) - Size 36.

They were soaked once (30 degrees) and worn only once indoors.

I simply do not see that they will get any wear by me in the foreseeable future!

They come with the original box and denim banner!

What are the post soak measurements?

[lance]

What are the post soak measurements?

sorry, just noticed the link!

[Turntabloid]

What are the post soak measurements?

can i get full BIG style measurements.

waist - 37"

inseam - 38"

f.rise - 11"

b.rise - 16"

upper thigh - 12.8"

knee - 9.8"

leg - 9.2"

there is probably a lot more shrinkage possible, as I only did a short 30 degree soak!

Shame, I would grab those up in a second but 37 waist, goddamn player.

Also, for anyone interested, I think there's like a 2nd smaller leather patch on these badboys inside the right pocket, and the patches are made of cordovan so it's pretty swank.

[Florian.FloC]

Pair from a friend, D1002

6 months, initial soak, no subsequent soaks/washes

I really like how crispy the fades on these are, very clear and sharp lines...(apologize for butchering the light on the first shot so badly)

[inthemix_]

boooooootiful.

man thats some really nice work on those sdas.

check out the fading on that ass(noghey)

[iamstarwars]

Given what they currently look like, am I wrong assuming they are LHT? The color and the way the denim fades are very similar to my pair of 003.
