So WICKED AWESOME!!! You made some very cool Bragging rights with those! dabated as it is (salt water wash) at least you can say, "Been there done that" and it makes for a cool story.
I'm surprised that there's no (that I can see) wear/rip in the cuffs. This 26oz Denim is some serious stuff. Glad I didn't sell mine. @wiskeyriver did you end up getting a pair?

I did! I didn't say? Shit sorry. Been a busy busy last week, with the last several days especially. Yeah wanz sold me his virgin pair! They are winging their way to me now!
Wait till you hear what whiskeyriver has to say about them after a few wears. You may change your mind.
LOL! Why do you say that? Haha.
You may change your Tune (literally:) once you've worn them for a few hours. The BEAST sewed up smaller/tighter, so even the upper block is tight. They are not forgiving.

I've been around long enough to read all the stories, G forum included. When G first offered them, I was after something else, and thought I'd get them on another run. Little did I know what was to come. My one regret. I'd still love to tame a pair. If a 36 straight crosses my path, I'll bag it.

Hahahaha.
But seriously, as scooter and gsg can attest to, if we can tame a pair of Strike Gold 2109s, we can probably tame anything. Those things were so stiff and tight and unforgiving and almost sandpaper-like at first, I actually was rubbed raw on the backs of my knees (the knees are now perfect, and are one of my only pairs that don't kneebag). But yeah...I got this. (puts shades on)

They are a bitch to get on. Those buttons do not want to be one with the button holes. Got blisters just putting, and failing, on the buttons.

This was my experience too. The initial try on was enough of a pain that there was never a second. Hopefully whiskeyriver will give them a good home.
