I know you're probably looking for opinions other than the guy selling them... but i have two they gave me while i was in Japan and i haven't liked a flannel as much as these two in a long time. I think it's partially because of the fit and partially because the fabrics are very nice.

They're Flat Head fabric level but the western one which is brushed is even softer, closer to how some of the mini-check Iron Heart flannels are so soft they almost feel like cashmere, except this is brushed on the inside, not outside.

also the pattern on the inside (atleast) on the one i saw) was different then the outside, i cant figure out how they did it

I've been doing this for a while now and i can't figure the shit out either unless it's a triple layered woven pattern done on a "triple cross" loom, but it's selvedge fabric, and i don't think those looms exist that old.

Less talk of said flannels and more pics...

I'm just curious cuz the 1105's will be my next denim purchase.

[rgray]

Is this the flannel that SENY has?

The one at SENY is red/black with snap buttons.

[k4727]

i just figured out the sizing discrepancies, the seny model runs a lot smaller then the rest. the info below is in inches for the XL size

Standard:

Shoulder: 20.9

Chest: 22.8

Lenth: 29.5

SENY (its probaly cut smaller as its a western shirt rather than WS)

Shoulder: 20.1

Chest: 20.9

Length: 29.5

[kiya]

Yup, the workshirt versions are cut wider and boxier, the western ones are slimmer.

[k4727]

hopefully seny gets some W-shirts

[Hobb & Nill]

I just picked the slim ones up a few days ago...Did anyone else get the red 'S. GOLD' back pocket tag in their watch pocket? I was gonna put it on, but dont want to take the pocket stitching out...I guess I'd have to right?....

[k4727]

i had mine put in when my pocket stitching ripped

[Guest Liuj]

do they all come with the red tab?

[ProfessorOak]

Yes I believe so. Levi has cease and desist on all red tabs (I think), but Strike Golds are originally made with the red tabs in Japan. So when they are shipped here they are taken off and left in the knife pocket.

Someone please confirm that, lol. Mine had the tab in the pocket.

Strike Gold SG1105 (6 Months) - 1 wash / 1 pre-soak

[rjsavestheday]

^ niiiccee, they remind me of my pbjs haha

[beautiful_FrEaK]

half a year? they look like some brands after a year of good wear. will rep

[Guest Liuj]

looks good oak!

I was wondering whats the consensus on sizing with the 1105? I'm around a 29.5 waist, should I get the 29 or 30? I'm leaning towards the 29 because I was a smaller leg opening. Also whats the max shrinkage you have gotten on the leg opening on the 1105?

[Layne]

Oak, must spread but those look excellent!

[vjiforlife]

YEAH OAK!!! I can't wait to wash my jeans one of these days!!!

On the size 28, it was 7.4" leg opening then after I gave it a (hot) pre-soak I think it ended up around 7.1" or 7.0". I didn't check after the first real wash but I'm assuming it's around .4"-.5" of total shrinkage in the leg opening.
