Here's a hair shot from a while back of the 51XX

[cristeza]

Oh wow. You need a hair brush for those.

These 5105 are evolving fast on just a few wears. You can see the texture at a distance now:

Nice! Can't wait to see how they develop. I have my own of course, but since I can only wear jeans two days per week, I will be watching yours for inspiration.

Those look great, what'd you do for a soak?

[pillowPANTS]

Piss warm for 30mins then held the knees out of the water with a stick and did hot for another 20

Perfect for you too.

This denim just feels good IMO, I love the texture and stretchiness of the weave. A cliche, but they remind me of sweatpants. They're so textural that you get a lot of wear quickly and a lot of visible horizontal and vertical texture and color variation.

Look good @xtcclassic, great fit. Nice pony too.

I really ought to work now. But first things first: My SG sweat after 5 washes or so, still in great shape and getting better and better. 

It made me curious about other high-end sweats so I just pulled the trigger on a RCM zipper hoodie. I'm really looking forward to compare the two of them!

[grandmasterben]

Awesome, looks great.  Let me know how they compare, been interested and tried to find the 12 oz rmc myself.  Which one did you get?

[mental floss]

Thanks, will do! I took the 12 oz. Ball Park…

[Max Power]

I do also own the 12 oz Ballpark Hoodie and the SG. They're pretty identical in Terms of weight and warmth, but I prefer the Hood of the McCoy. The SG one is practically unusable.

@Max:

The SG one is practically unusable.

Really? Why?

[Max Power]

Super narrow. When I put it on, it lifts the whole hoodie.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, SG hoodies have awful hoods, way too small, and the thickness of the fleece doubled over exacerbates it.

[grandmasterben]

The hood issue is fixed on their pullovers. On the zips (I have no clue why) it would just fall off my head backwards.

Even with the strings drawn. Super annoying.
