wow, those look beautiful

[ExileOnMainSt]

very nice, i found with my nudies after about 6 months and no wash the denim was very life-less, no stiffness at all and it discouraged the shit out of me to keep wearing them

[gimmegimme]

that's because the denim is crap

they're a bit darker. i didn't do any contrast/lighting adjustments though. just cropped them. they are very light though

[Charlie Delta]

Whaaaa?

How come I never came across these? Have a thing for LEE reproes and these look crazygood!

Please post or pm some more info on them.

Or someone direct me to more info on them, heh......

[gimmegimme]

They're the Christmas edition from 2004.

[jubei]

The XS series from SDA are their holiday limited editions (released around Christmas, hence the XS) They only do one run and that's it... and they're usually pretty awesome, like this one.

the 25 would suggest that they've been around for 25 years? I wonder if that's true... because I've XS26, 27, etc.

edit: beat me to it

[gimmegimme]

You're right about the anniversary year.

[Charlie Delta]

Cheers guys! They seem super nice.

Not having paid SDA much attention to be honest, what other XS's are there that I don't know about.

or maybe I should just look in the SDA thread, since I could find it all there, and someone can call me a n00b???

[jubei]

the xs26 or 27 was a 21oz'er... don't remember the other ones, but I remember liking the XS25 a lot. I know it's just a lee repro, but for some reason, it just looked really sharp.

I think they did a wrangler repro as an xs edition as well

[Charlie Delta]

^ the wrangler repro is the one Coldrice is looking for no?

Pics?

yes I'm being very lazy and am derailing this thread, heh

[gimmegimme]

xs26 was the wrangler repro, xs27 is still available on BiG's website I believe, and is a "war" model with a baggier fit.

Can't wait to see what this year's is!

[jubei]

voila (XS-26 wrangler repro):

et voila (XS-27 21 oz vintage cut):

and an extra special holiday edish (XXX26 Natural Indigo... maybe 21 oz as well?):

n00b.

j/k

edit: XXX26 is a 14 oz'er, not 21. apologies

What they said about the X's models - got these off a fellow forum member, mis-tagged at 30", 34" raw, now 35". Low front rise at 9", back at 13", inseam is a smidge over 34", thigh 11" (22"), leg opening 8" (16"). What else...LHT obviously, nice donut buttons (3 fly + 1 if you know what I mean), a fat leather patch that has stood up to washing very well, and as the photo's show: purple line selvedge and nice twin colour inseam stitching.

I feel a bit sorry for the bloke that sold me these (Synthi), I reckon he would have treasured them a bit more than me - but his skinny loss is my slightly less skinny gain. For the fit pictures I'm just under 6 foot and abot 12 1/2 stone - again sorry for the crappy pics, no natural light, small mirror and shite camera. Ta.

mods - if these pics to big then sorry

anyone else - can i resize in photobucket? cos i can't be arsed to open photoshop back up again, resize'm, resave'm, reupload'm and then refuckinpost'm - ta.

[dino might]

^the fit of those sdas looks really good from here.
