The Strike Gold

I'd say 29 Luij. They stretch enough indeed.

P-Oak, how much shrinking did u get after the wash, i did two hot soaks but i felt like i saw the most shrinking after a cold wash hang dry?

Two initial hot soaks took care of all the shrink for me...

After two weeks of straight wear and then another hot soak, they tightened up again, but no noticeable additional shrink, but that seems to be the nature of a loose-weave - it doesn't knit tighter after some wear with another soak. Higher tension weaves seem to have more of a second shrink.

The water was tinted brown from remaining starch though.

thanks, I think I'm gonna get a 29

Also about the tab thing, what other jeans have the tabs cut off in America from Self Edge/BiG?

[xchen]

Liuj, after the Levi's lawsuits of recent years all brands sold in the US can't have the Levi's signature red tab. Those with arcuates resembling the Levi's arcuates had to redesign them. That's why so many of the have similarities in some way to the Levi's arcuate such as Samurai, the Flat Head, Evisu, RRL, the Strike Gold and Iron Heart just to name a few.

edit: saw someone explained it, will leave anyways.

if im not mistaken Liuj is asking which other jeans have the tabs cut of and in the pocket rather than not included at all. As far as Self Edge is concerned i dont think any others (possibly the steam locomotive)

[xchen]

I believe skull used to be... not sure about now.

[Guest Liuj]

Ya I was asking about the tabs since I know eternals just stitch the blue tab on the coin pocket was wondering if any other brands did something similar.

Thanks for clearing it up for me.

Umm, I didn't measure how much it shrunk after I washed it, but overall I couldn't tell a difference in the feel of the fit after I washed it if that helps. If anything, there was a very subtle feeling of it being a bit more fitted.

Not trying to "dis" SG, but is their build quality good? you have rips in your back pockets, stitches are missing on the top of the back pockets, rivets are almost exposed and the cuffs are ripped. is that just me or am i a jeans pussy and dont wear that hard? edit, fades are great either way

So I am putting together a Strike Gold World Tour of the 1103EX heavy weight 23oz jeans for a size 32. Interested parties please PM me as soon as possible as this will probably start rolling out in the next 2-3 weeks.

More details to follow.

[DoitsuJin]

what kiya said - people have different lifestyles and it reflects on the wear - some natural (biking, construction etc) some artificial (poking at pockets, pinching etc)

with that said, the wear on those jeans are pretty damn standard if you wear it everyday morning to night for 6 months...

I'll probably order them in a few weeks - half waiting to see if there is going to be a restock of the straight leg cut in the lighter weight denim. The super full cut is worrisome to me, but we've pretty much got a full roster of people for the tour.
