Some post soak photos of the SDA D1506 collaboration with Pants Shop Avenue.
The denim is still damp, so the colour might be a little darker than usual.
Looking throughout the jeans, the construction & threading are impeccable – not that we’d expect any less from Studio D’Artisan.
However, I did notice a little bit of damage to the denim along the bottom ridge of the yoke, on the right side – had to do a little DIY fixing.
A small flaw in an otherwise awesome jean 🙂

Nice size 0, ‘golden-tea’ coloured threads for the arcuates.
Gotta love that colour, brings a nice contrast to the pockets.
**
Plain but sturdy pocket cloths, similar feel to Kurashiki sail-canvas that Eternal uses.
Notice how neat the stitchings are!

“International. World Jeans.”?
Not sure what this means, but this button also features on the newly released 23 oz jeans.

And finally, the super nice nume leather patch – gradually darkening.
I have oiled it and waxed it before the hot soak to protect the leather, and I’ve oiled the patch again while it was still wet.
I might apply another layer of horse oil followed by beeswax very soon!
How much did it shrink and stretch?
Honestly mate I can’t quite remember. Around 8% I’m guessing.
It’s probably best if you contact Pants Shop Avenue for shrinkage details!
