The Strike Gold
-
A bunch. They are hugging the thighs too much for my liking now, but given how slack they are I expect them to be OK in the end. I won't be able to get the length I desired, but better too long than too short. Looks like I'll have to have a second hemming.
I'll post a post soak fit pic on the original picture post as soon as I can.

Thanks–I wouldn't even call these tight, it's a skinny jean fit and I prefer a little more room. I think they'll be OK; they may just wind up being "sneaker jeans" since I like straighter cuts or boot cuts with boots. In hindsight, I wish I'd sized up to 34 and done a cold soak but oh well. I had hoped they would pretty much fit like my 3105s, and they may get there yet, though it will take another hem.

Wish they made a 38 fuck. Waist on 36 should work but the thigh is measured at 13.4" and thats right around as small as i can do (maybe 13.2-13.3) so im doubting i can do these

Yeah, which ones, Strike Gold? I saw one I think–I have one and love it.

Here you go man:
Wanted to share some details of the SG work shirt.
The pen pocket is the fabric wrapped under and stitched (the pen is not for sale)
Very narrow button backing
Curved yoke.
Double chain stitched felled sleeve seams lining up to the yoke and side seams.

Speaking of SG flannels, wearing it today. But I wanted to show a post soak, post stretch of the 5105s. I laid them on top of my 3105s last night after noticing how much they loosened and they had the exact same dimensions stretched flat. Even cuffs and inseam length, which surprised me because they feel like they stack more. Very pleased.

those look great on you man

Thank you boys, 05 seems to be my cut, though I will always favor 634 above all else. I am struggling because my 3105s are so broken in it's hard not to wear them. When that LHT wears, it starts feeling like velvet pajamas. I bet the 50xx does something similarly crazy though.

Could not resist and picked up a pair of 5105 this week. After talking to reudi (Swiss-jeans freak) about his experience in not soaking… I'm going to give these a shot with the intent of never washing or soaking. Denim looked to good to pass up and size was on point in raw state.
I guess either it will work out or it will not but will be a fun journey either way! never know until you try
-
If there were ever a denim you could stretch back out it's probably the 51xx, wear in good health

Thought the same. Material looks fantastic but a little too electricly bright for my tastes
