They are a great fit Mclain. Wrong thread I know but how did you size on the FH sneaks in comparison to Viberg etc? Thanks. J.

Thanks much chaps!

I'm an 8.5D in Viberg, 9.5D in Red Wing, Converse, and most things US sized. I sized a 9 in the SNK-01 and they fit great. Since I got them from Rakuten, I was quite relieved that this was so. They're really great shoes, pretty much the only sneakers I wear outside of the gym (I do occasionally rock some Zegna Sport sneaks that have a similar vintage vibe).

Much appreciated mate, been eyeing them for a while and your pics sold them! Thanks.

Will post some SG2105 pics soon to make up for diverting the thread

4c, what size are you in IH shirts and what size did you go with in the SG sweatshirt?

[4c]

I did XL in the SG sweat and honestly I had to stretch it a bit to make it fit (in length) after a hot wash/dry. Don’t have an IH shirt yet, I do have an IH sweatshirt though. It’s XL and it’s about perfect in the arm length and a lil baggy in the body. So I’m guessing that I might be a large in IH. Size medium flint and tinder tees fit me perfect if that helps.

Here are the current measurements on my XL SG sweat:
20.5 shoulder
24 p2p
25 arm (shoulder to cuff)
26 center back
19 body opening

Thanks.  So it looks like the length and width measurements shrink but the width stretches out easily. Correct?

[4c]

Yea, especially after taking it on/off a bunch of times.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah. Gravity doesn't apply as much pressure as your torso can so I think this is generally true.

New slubby 51xx denim: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/klax-on/sg5105

Any better picks?

[mclaincausey]

I wish. The horizontal slub is unlike anything I've seen. Guessing Kiya will have these in and up soon.

[pillowPANTS]

Hope so. Im looking for something new and interesting. Wanted the Oni's that Urb got but they only make that cut up to a 36

[mclaincausey]

Well PP, I haven't handled a lot of Japanese denim by any means, but I love my 3105s more by the day. SG is the real deal.

As you should, they look great! I've not had SG jeans yet, do they have the same silky feel as Iron Hearts?

[mclaincausey]

I can't speak for his RHT 17 oz, but the 31XX LHT are fairly flat with some slight vertical slub and they are quite crisp at first and take creases very well. They soften over time and develop a velvety character. Visually, you start seeing high contrasted electric blue graycast fades and you see both horizontal and vertical texture. This was my first pair of loomstate and I am floored by them.
