The Strike Gold

[S21]

Does anyone have a size xl in any of the t shirts advise how they fit compared to other brands like the flat head? Thanks.

[goodrain]

I have one that is a size Large and fits like a Flat Head 40

[Jeef1]

Size XL in SG Ts are almost exactly same measurements as the Size 42 Flat Head Ts

Pictures of my 3105 worn off and on for 2 years. Many washes.

New pair of SG5109, one week of wear

[ReverendGlasseye]

I got my crewneck sweat yesterday! It fits perfectly after a hot wash and dry.

[goodrain]

what size is that?

[ReverendGlasseye]

@goodrain Like you guys recommended, I went for a medium.

[goodrain]

it actually doesn't look that short on you. great fit!

[Jeef1]

Great fit on that sweatshirt! I have quite a few of those. I thinks it's easily the best sweatshirt you can find. I also really like the Real McCoy Ballpark sweat but the fabric on the Strike Gold sweat just seems so much softer while still being just as thick. 

[ReverendGlasseye]

@Jeef1 I've worn it all weekend and love it to death. I may pick up the gray or oatmeal one in the future.

[goodrain]

Jeef what size do you wear? I have owned two mediums that shrunk too much that I handed down to my lady. Not sure if I need an L or XL.  

[ironheartfan123]

nice fit! i have a buzz rickson loopwheel that i like and wear a lot but TSG's is imo a lot nicer!

[Jeef1]

goodrain I wear size Large. Let me know if you need measurements. I've had a few XLs that I ended up selling too, could probably find the measurements for those as well.

[goodrain]

Thanks dude! I think L would work for me as well then. Need to get to Standard & Strange to try the RMC ballpark sweat and then decide!

[Jeef1]

Good rain,

The Strike Gold size Large:

chest 21.5"

shoulder 18.75"

sleeve 23"

center back length 23.5"

Real McCoy Ballpark size Medium:

chest 21"

shoulder 18.5"

sleeve  23"

center back length 24"

 

do you live in Oakland? I live in same neighborhood as Standard and Strange.

[goodrain]

Thanks for the measurements, dude! I live in LA so I have to try to swing by Standard and Strange the next time that I am in the Bay.

We actually have a large shipment of Strike Gold sweaters on the way to all of our stores in a week or two in black and gray.  We got SG to make a late fall run and they were delayed slightly but they just finished the fresh batch.

I don't think I've taken a denim pic in years but I felt compelled this afternoon.

These 2105s were purchased in ~April 2011 when Self Edge was raising money for the tsunami relief effort in Japan. I've worn them off & on for nearly 6 years. It's very hard to keep heavy denim in rotation with the Houston humidity. They've been repaired a few times - crotch, left pocket, button holes, etc. I'd like to move on to another pair, but my office job makes breaking in new denim a pain.

Any info on this new denim released by Strike Gold?  It looks very, very similar to the SEXSG fabric.

That appears veeeerrrrryyyy likely to be the same denim. The amount of hair and show-through on the indigo side in the macro shots, plus the variance of the weft threads on the inside, both look identical to the SEXSG fabric. Same weight too, at 17 oz. Wonder if they'll be keeping it as a regular fabric, even though it's got to be a pain to make.

[Foxy2]

looks like a 17oz version of their 15oz Classic Series (51xx).

tempetd, love my 5103 pair...

That isn't the same as the SEXSG denim.  They had trouble re-weaving the SEXSG denim so the mill went with a more even weave pattern and used a slightly thinner warp thread so that it was easier to weave. 

Also, this fall there's a very special SG jean coming which will be their first indigo/indigo jean!

Ah, sorry, my bad then. Shouldn't have been so sure, but they did do a remarkable job of getting close to the collaboration fabric. Those photos look pretty much identical to my pair of SEXSG post-soak.

[Vulcan]

Bit of a plug for my Strike Gold workshirt in the marketplace... but this a cool 12oz denim shirt that they did about 4 years ago with contrast cat-eye buttons. Thought I'd throw it on here, don't see tons of shirts round these parts.

[VivaMarlon]

Such a great fit and great sweater too! I own the 3109, hope they look that good on me too.
