Im amazed at how thick the belt is I just picked up.  Its peeked my interest on there other products.

[madmonday]

good looking belt.

i think the Strike Gold folks should be on your radar as the items i've purchased from them (jeans & a shirt) have been on par with the items I've bought from the more established brands from the East (Flat Head & of course Iron Heart)

[Seul]

Yeah - this brand really hàs been on my radar for a good while now… Think it's about time to pick up something Srike Gold... Not sure what yet, but it's time...

Would love to pick up their shirts, but I think they are sized too small for me.

[Seul]

So size up?.. Or do you mean the biggest size is still too small for ya?..

Saw the Ibarra flannel in person and it felt and looked great. Its like a thicker version of the IHSH31. Would have copped if it wasn't for the pockets bothering me so much.

Thing with the Strike Gold jeans, from the measurements I saw, the rise is too low for my taste or if the rise is ok, the cut is too full for me. Otherwise I'd tried 'em out already

I like my SG1101 overall, but the rise is definitely an issue.  It's getting like a wedgie when putting them on.  Another inch or a bit more and they'd be perfect.  The SE measurements on a 31 say the rise is only .1 less than the 666S, but that hasn't been my experience.

Got these SG2109 somewhat recently.  Here are pics after about 1 1/2 months of every day wear

Picked up a loop wheeled sweatshirt too.  Man is it toasty!

[RocknRoll]

Coming along nicely there.

I got a pair of SG2109 a few months ago but the fit wasn't quite what I wanted in the thighs so I sent them back. A shame, because the denim was amazing.

This brand is on my radar… I'm sure I mentioned it before, but people selling 2ndhand pairs on here isn't helping...

I really love the archs - probably alone with that...

Thanks, and agreed on the denim.  Between the slubbyness and that golden brown from the mud dyed threads poking through, the denim has tons of character.

You should definitely keep this brand on your radar.  The denim and detailing on my 2109s is awesome and the construction is solid.  Plus, the arches do look pretty sweet! My only real complaint with the jeans is that the rise is a little lower than I'd like, but other than that I love everything about them.

The sweatshirt I have is also fantastic.  Solid construction on that too, and it holds in heat like no other.

[Seul]

Yep - if they make a high rise slim straight, I'm sold…

[RocknRoll]

I also think the Strike Gold pocket stitching looks pretty cool (although I'm more a fan of the completely plain pocket style).

Actually it would be interesting to see what brands have the most popular pocket stitching - perhaps somewhere else on this forum someone has already started this up this debate? (just for fun, of course).
