The Strike Gold

Definitely not as silky smooth as ih. Very rigid to start. Im finally starting to break in the denim and loving every min of it.

Great picture chewie
mclaincausey too!
Haha, it seems the list of things I can have is much shorter than the list of things I want which is quite long (and growing every day thanks to this forum!)…

Couldn't resist the 5105 when I saw it in person at SELA. Loomstate that is super comfy off the rack. So much character in the fabric

Doesn't really matter whàt jeans you wear, they end up looking stellar, lightz…

Looks like the Breaking Bad denim remake.

Does SG only have the xx05 and xx09 models? Both are too slim in the thigh for me

[grandmasterben]

I think those are pretty much the only "normal" cut ones, which also bums me out because they're literally the worst cuts for me. Even the 05

[EastWest]

The 05's fit is between the 666 and 634

Thanks man!

[mclaincausey]

I got some 5105s.

Crazy weft short slub on these, warp is somewhat slubby and hairy and neppy:

Interesting horizontal and vertical texture:

Post-Soak
They're still drying

[pillowPANTS]

Where did u get em chief? They look pretty cool

[mclaincausey]

Thanks man; I picked them up at SELA weekend before last, had them hemmed and shipped, and just now got back in town to soak them.  The shrinkage on such a weird denim will be interesting. I probably did about a 15 minute hot soak. Hope my hem estimation works out, trying to get to a cuffless stack.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a denim quite like this. Curious about how they're going to fade.
