The Strike Gold

[Layne]

Any more progress reports on the 210X series? I'd like to see a pair going on 1 year.

I've had mine for over a year but they have only 4 or so months of daily wear. I'll post evo pics when there's something significant to show.

Great fit on those. Did you go tts?

Yea I went tts with a scalding hot soak. i prolly shouldve gone with a 32 and cold soaked it then hemed it because the waist on my 33's is a tad big. but otherwise i love the fit

[Aries]

No way, 32s would have been too tight on the thighs; 33 looks great.

Waist is the last measurement you should look at, seriously. Thighs/knee/leg opening are all more important, if the waist is a bit big, bust out an awesome belt.

sg2109 after a weeks wear post-soak 6months, thoughts on the fit? not sure if i sized right... sz 32 stretched out to a 35" waist and very little thigh room for maneuver >.>

[tigerpac]

^ Those look great!

[dcp1610]

sg2109 is very roomy in the waist from my experience. Wearing a belt is highly recommended, unless one has a large waist with skinny thighs.

[Aries]

Agreed, fit looks great, and wear a belt unless you have sticks for thighs, then maybe size down.

Nice update ryansuuu!!!

i look @it the other way around__ large waist meant you size down accordingly. if it gets too tight @thighs, then the cut's just not meant for you

^ I see your point. My emphasis was on the ability to wear a belt.

Fit pics on SG1109s size 31 post soak, went TTS and they do not work for my legs. I put em up in Supermarket...

Should have sized up I think...how is the waist (tight as well?) 1109 shrink aggresively compared to 2109. What size do you wear in other denim?

The thighs I found were okay I mean 12" thigh is standard on most slim straight type denim unless you meant 2105 (that would definitely be big waist and comparatively tight thighs)

Some 1109 and 2109 in supermarket on sale...no price listed though. Thinking about picking up the 1109, but not sure how much worse the shrinkage will be than 2109 which I own in W32 and fit me perfectly after soak.

Yeah I should have I usually wear a 32 or 33 but I lost some weight and my true waist is a 32...First time wearing a taper too...I think I'm just going to stick with slim straight...

[klimek135]

ryansuuu those look sweet! i'm working on a pair of 2109's right now but don't wear them too often. definitely agree that these have a unusually large waist.

Just received my Strike Gold sweatshirt, Kiya was right, these things are woven tight!

Amazingly comfy and warm, in part due to the tightness methinks.

Bonus image x-post from WAYW - my SG1105s enjoying Australia's great ocean road yesterday:

Thats a nice pic next to the Australian Ocean!

I really like the SG1109 myself

They taper exactly how you would want your jeans to tuck around your lower leg.

^ dude if you want to direct people to that webshop then just say so, dont need to pull shitty tricks like that

[Maynard Friedman]

Or set up a dedicated, sponsored thread, rather than hijacking every other thread on this forum.

[Aries]

Yeah I've just noticed similar posts in a bunch of threads; just get a sponsored thread dude, no need for these incognito shenanigans...

[Mehervan Sethi]

I apologize for that, I honestly just love denim and own every garment that I support.

I am also new to this forum, and will be e-mailing the staff to find out about a new thread.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

^^^ Welcome!

cool...while people love to discover about new jeans shops, people also usually hate spams like that

Good luck with them - they start to fade pretty quickly, so enjoy!

My SG1105 3 mouth

[leyori]

in love with the grain!

[cuddlestheshee]

love the grain, hate the fit.

[hawkway]

excellent first post, palm!

[regedit]

@palm

are you wearing them true to size? or down size? Because it should be slim, not tight like that.

BTW, great fades.. keep wearing it.. thanks

[Palm Chanon]

@regedit

I down 3 size from my true waist .
