The Strike Gold

These are so good….I'm not sure if they changed the way they're made or not. I asked Casey straight up and he said definitely not....well see after a few months!
-
Literally shrink 3" in the length….pretty crazy.
-
Jeez SG!
-
I've just washed mine in hot in the washer, haven't decided if I want to dry it in the dryer. I probably won't as it's plenty short as it is…
-
Thanks man! The strange thing is while every aspect shrinks a little, it seems like the length shrinks significantly more. No clue why.

Raged of late in the 3105s to the extent that a premature second wash (after an initial soak) was needed. I think it actually helped. The worn areas are so soft too. Love this denim, and can't wait for the heavier UHR 634S in my future.

^ Those jeans look amazing!!!

What do you guys think of these 1109s? I'm a bit on the fence because the waist feels a bit loose (these pics are post soak). I knew going in that these tend to have room in the top block if you go tts. I got a 32 (waist measured 33 pre-soak). I just couldn't imagine sizing down.
Anyways, the denim is amazing. Hopefully once the top block settled in with some creases I'll be more satisfied. Should I have sized down one?
-
I like them, but if you were going to size down you might look at the 05 cut, since the 09 is already so tiny with the taper. 05 is basically the same cut sans the taper towards the cuff
-
I was going for taper, pretty much looking for a tight fit. I think they actually look pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure sizing down would have made the rise unbearable.

never underestimate the power of a future machine wash and the power of a belt to keep the waist where you want it to be

Yep. I hot soaked for an hour but I'm pretty certain a hot wash will finish off the shrinkage. Gonna wait until I've got about 6 weeks or so of wear and then hot wash time!
