Nice. Repped. Denim really is pretty sweet, huh? I think Kiya's FH/Sam Texas cotton comparison is right on the money.

Glad you were able to to get the 32s in NY. I kopped the last 32s on the website. Sorry Looking forward to getting these.

Post up soak and measurement info if you can. Would love to see if inseam shrinks the full 3" on the first soak.

Re: red tab - Skull and others cut them off for the American market after production, and have to stitch the dagger on there to patch the cut. I'm pretty sure the tag you've got was never sewn on, so if you really care enough, a tailor can do that for you. Other jeans Ive owned have come with the uninstalled tag in the coin pocket.

Mine should be in tomm

a.khan, I would at least do a 30 min soak to get some shrinkage out of the way. Looking at your fit, you have some room to give and also keep in mind that they will stretch.

[k4727]

cold or hot?

[k4727]

i really dont want to do a soak actually. im keeping a belt on always to prevent the waist from stretching. if they get to loose ill do a soak.

[Raoul Duke]

They are unsanforized...you really should soak them.

[chambo2008]

thats a bit silly you should defo do a hot soak before you start you might be dissapoiunted 6 months down the line after a wash

[kit99bar]

You haven't soaked at all yet in those pics?:confused:

[k4727]

nop, im not sure how long to do it for or for how much time?

[k4727]

and what temp

[vjiforlife]

a.khan,

do a 30-45 min soak in warm water and hang dry. Then after they dry, post some damn fit pix!!!

[k4727]

on it, ill get photos up as soon as they dry

[chantheman]

i find it crazy that you didnt do your homework on raw denim and soaking before buying a pair of $300 jeans

raw fit looks good though

i did, but i wasnt sure if the strike golds needed different treatment then flat heads

[kit99bar]

they are going to be much tighter after a hot soak

[landstander]

unsanforized denim is unsanforized denim...regardless of the brand..they should always at the least be soaked or even washed before you start putting serious wear into them.

but i agree..pre-soak pics look good..im sure post-soak will look even better.

[k4727]

hanging up to dry right now, well see tmmrw morning boys

[kiya]

I bet you're going to like the fit far better after they're fully dry, if they're a hair snug it'll stretch back out within a few wears.

[ranonranonarat]

watching this thread now for hopefully more fit pics.

[k4727]

i cant sleep so theyll be up the second they dry

Kiya were u involved in the design/manufacturing process for the strike gold, or is self edge acting only as a retailer.

Not sure that "Kiya" and "only as a retailer" should be uttered in the same breath.

[k4727]

not meaning to offend, just very curious

After 45 mins very hot soak

[k4727]

I preffer the fit no a lot more, i got a good deal of shrinkage in the waste, (.75 inches aprox) and maybe lost an inch and a half in the length if not a little more

[vjiforlife]

Just received my Strike Gold's. Fit pix by tomm.
