I'm looking for trim and not slim straight leg jean in a 32" waist (real waist is 32.5), what options do I have for an 8.5" - 9" leg opening?

I've got two Buzz Rickson sweats, and my girlfriend just got me the Strike Gold hoodie in oatmeal, and this thing demolishes BR for quality of material I think. Warmer, softer, and for me a better fit. Definitely a Strike Gold convert.

Check out these jeans:
Strike Gold SG1105
Real Japan Blues 106BSP
(leg opening will shrink almost .5" after a hot soak with both of those jeans)

I've been saying this since we got them in, glad you were able to see it for yourself. The fabric is heavy, super soft on the inside, and nearly windproof with how tight the warp is woven.

How about 3sixteen+ 11BSP, will leg opening also shrink down to around 8" from 8.7" on a 32"? In which case would I be better off moving to a 33" instead of 32", or will that get the waist too loose after washes and streching?

On those the leg opening will shrink .4" after a hot soak. It's not a wide leg jean but the leg opening may be bigger than what you're looking for.

That organic fabric from SDA isn't even as soft of RM's version, let alone SG's version. Not to mention that the weave is super loose on the SDA fabric which is partially why it's so soft on the outside. Try again. Or come into one of our stores and actually feel the stuff in person.

interesting. ive been in your store a couple times kiya.

i encourage anyone out there to find out for themselves. i suspect if you were able to carry sda then you might say something else ... after all, whatever you dont carry is ****, right? we all know this to not be true so i encourage people to find out for themselves.

and the regular sda is much softer and warmer then the br stuff. the organic cotton is on a whole new level. nothing you have even comes close.

Can you do me a huge favor and take your Blue In Green fanboy posts to another thread?
Gordon and i are friends, we work together, we don't carry each other's brands because we have chosen to sell different brands. Please do me a favor and research more about what you post about before you hit the "submit" button. It doesn't matter what i say, you come back with some moronic remark and it seems your only intention is to ruffle feathers.

just because im right doesnt mean you need to get your panties all knotted up. the organic cotton is a finer material then what they use in the sg. the sg stuff is fine, its not at the level of the sda though.

PROVE me wrong kiya.

kiya you dont need to pm me. you can ask me what you need to in the thread.


The man is just trying to do business on a thread he pays for. Why is it unreasonable for him to try to take outside any debate you might have with him?
