The Strike Gold
-
Found an old pair of 5105 (horizontal weft super slubby short staple cotton) that I retired after a crotch blowout. The denim was almost stretchy and crocheted blanket-like from the jump, which made them very comfortable right away. The nature of the fabric makes the fades kind of fuzzy. Great vertical falling.
I can’t wait to see Haraki’s slub challenge the Onis of the world and do so with IH robustness.
Going to get them fixed up and back in rotation.

Nothing to not love about those aye

The 5105’s are currently the only non-IH denim in my rotation. Great warm-weather denim due to the loose weave.

@mclaincausey dude those are pretty fap-tacular.

Thank you sir!
They’re back. I think I’ll retire my 666s-18 for the dog days of summer. These feel like gossamer. Hard to tell I’m wearing pants.

Hi,
do you know the strike gold sg1209?
I saw a store on a website that sells strike gold sg1209 jeans but I couldn't find this model when I searched.
Thank you -
hi EastWest
no it is the model sg 1209 for sale on yahoo auction. the seller has several strike gold 1209 jeans on sale.
as I shop on yahoo auction with buyee, I cannot contact the seller for more information. -
@boombasstic there are other proxy services (
also cheaper than Buyee[correction, seems that Buyee got cheaper]). Try FromJapan, they will also contact the seller with your questions. -

Talk about an irregular weft I think this is 5105

@swiss-jeansfreak and I started getting very excited about the raw 24.8 ounce Extra Hard SG9903s! I could see where you could get 2 pairs raw in different sizes. He sussed it out and when I went to look again next morning one of the two pairs had gone! He admitted he was the guilty party. I quickly snaffled the last pair, a size 32 hoping they would fit. Well they do and were so much easier to do up and less course than my 2016 size 32 UHR634s.
Battled with my 25 oz, won the war!

@Jeansman Amazing, I always wanted to feel these in person! Surprised to hear they are more malleable the the UHR, although I never felt the original version of that denim..

Thanks @T4920 . I also have a few pairs of unworn earlier edition UHRs you could feel and some barely worn earlier edition XHSs as well as some unworn Full Counts with arcs and red tabs and loads of unworn LVC.

@Jeansman Nice! Very cool fabric. Are you putting these to use straight away?
(I have a pair of these in the tapered, one washed version, SG9904, tucked away, waiting for the right occasion. Might be a little while, too many great IH jeans to get through
)@JunkPants I wore them this afternoon but generally will wear them in gradually alongside my UHRs as I am having so much fun with my UHRs. The SG9903s are not good for soft furnishings as they shed indigo (at least on my hands) like crazy.

Go to https://www.instagram.com/jasad_liar88?igsh=aXJ0MW53d2x3bWc3 to see the fades on his competition pair which look to me like One Washed one's.
