SD-103 - 2 Months - Pics

[minya]

great Geowu.

But why not wash them!? They're going to shrink and those creases will shift...

ps: I just ordered a pair

[Geowu]

good buy, I like them a lot...

not washing because I don't want wrinkled seams in the fading... and I like how they fit now... maybe I'll never wash them (with water).

[minya]

ah, cool. That'd be neat.

What size are those btw?

[Geowu]

thanks, they're size 34 (waist measures 36, bc unwashed, but I feel a 33 or 34 would still fit me).

[asfberg]

i wouldn't wash them at this point. i soaked mine and they shrank up a lot. also the "feel" of them changed although i doubt i could describe how. i may have liked them better before but that may be because they were longer. i still really like them, though.

[minya]

adam, what do you mean regarding the "feel"?

I ordered a size 34. I hope they shrink to about 32-33" in the waist, since that would stretch to the perfect size for me...

i don't know what i mean by feel but they're different in a way i wasn't expecting. i know that doesn't help, but maybe this will - my 34's are now 33.5" in the waist after a 2 hr lukewarm soak and drip dry, followed my about a week's worth of wear. they were probably 33" right after drying, so if you were to wash them in hot water you may well get them below 33" in the waist. don't worry about washing them, i don't regret doing it. the leg measures 35" now but feels shorter than other looser jeans with 34" legs (maybe because they're so stovepipey).

[minya]

haha. no, that doesn't really help Do you mean the feel of the denim itself?

Thanks for the info about the size though. I plan on doing a warm-water machine wash as soon as I get them so, yeah, I hope they shrink to about 32".

minya so now you'll have a pair of eternal 811s and sd-103s, just the two i've been trying to decide between.

let me know your valuable opinion! djrajio again?

sure thing. They look fairly similar, but that's good. Yep, Rajiv's hooking me up again.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

minya, when was the last time you were in contact with rajio? I sent him a pm last wednesday but I haven't heard from him yet. Maybe he just hates me.

he was on vacation recently, and he's swamped with work. He just got back this weekend. I'm sure he'll get back to you soon.

[nairb49]

horribly-pm'd him a long time ago, he's pretty busy, took about a week to get back to me.

geowu- i think they look great

your jeans look beautiful. SD's are amazing

chwa?

[Geowu]

I like their color. It's a greyish blue closer to turquoise and without any purple (pure indigo).

Wearing them everyday. Not doing anything artificial to accelerate the fading.

[asfberg]

think i'm starting to realize the difference in "feeling" is mostly just the shrinkage ... i probably liked them better after the 1st shrinkage (cold spray just to soak them through and a drip dry, minimal shrinking) than the way they are now after the lukewarm bath. somehow even though they have a 35" inseam they seem on the short side because they're stiff and tight. i liked the fit even before i washed them.

that said i still really like them and can see they'll be looking good in a few months.

so minya - try them on when you get them and don't be too hasty to wash them (the crotch is a bit "shallow")

[minya]

shallow crotch? Because of the lower rise?

I think I'm going to wash them in warm water as soon as I get them, just to get all the shrinkage out of the way and then let them stretch to fit.

[alex_844]

you have the synthetic indigo sd-103s? i have been coveting a pair in that cut. not sure about the weight yet though.

did you remove the arcuate? maybe it's just the picture...

also they look great.

[minya]

now you've got me all paranoid adam

[evisu 2000]

what shoes are those?

heh

[Geowu]

yes I removed the stitching... it's the synthetic version, which I believe is better considering the fade. the weight is not all that noticeable, because they are very compact. still they are quite tough. the waist is low, even for many western jeans.

mass, are the shoes ugly? they're whoop'ee' 9643

[minya]

Geowu, the shoes look great dude. Stop worrying so much

[asfberg]

minya - don't worry, just try them on first and if you want to wash go cold first as you can always shrink them more after

not at all. i was just curious because i thought they looked pretty nice.

[Geowu]

if you're size 8 I can sell them to you. I'm size 9 and they don't fit me so well.

[digital_denim]

My SD 103s didn't shrink much after my cold soak.

I've also washed them once and they haven't shrunk much after the wash either.

I ordered a size 31...normally a size 31 - 32, they started off snug, but loosened up to comfortably snug. They are my favorite jeans thus far. Really like the way the creases form in the front and around the ankles. I think you'll really like them Minya...Don't forget to give us a comparison of fit compared to the Eternals.
