The Strike Gold

[Get Smart]

My 1105's came yesterday. After a quick wash and line dry they fit perfect, shrinks down exactly to tag size. Had Kiya hem them so length is good, probably shrank only 2" not 3" at the inseam, but I imagine after another couple washes it will lose that last inch. Great jean, love the course/uneven denim which isnt as rough and burlap-y as PBJ which I didnt care for.

The 24oz sounds interesting as I missed out on the Samurai 24oz RHT.

So no details about the cut? I hope it's not too slim and not too low rise

edit: found it. It comes in bootcut and a '50s-'60s cut.

I dunno if it will be the same one SE is gonna carry.

The price is....steep

We're only carrying the straight leg 50's style fit, not the bootcut.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yeah, I would have been surprised if you did. But to be honest I thought they would make a slimmer cut just for SE

Maybe Sean Penn is one of a few exceptions when it comes to pulling of boot cut...well , bell bottoms, but what the hell

[kiya]

Sean Penn can wear a garbage bag and still be cool.

[beatle]

Amen to that

Still havent opened em...i am incredibly behind (sat2s btw)

They soften up fast, boys. A little rough at first, but as Kiya said, they give back in a week or two.

I'm liking the evolution of the rivets. The copper on mine has darkened, but the steel male rivets are still bright. A fun little bit of entertainment as the jeans evolve, for sure.

Kiya, which model are you wearing, the 1101 or 1105?

[aho]

damn kiya, you lose weight after the surgery? here's to a fast recovery (although you seem to be doing well!)

I believe he's wearing the slim's but I'm not sure.
