@madmonday:

i think these are my current favorite pair of jeans.  very versatile, i should have got a pair in 33, but i was scared to death of too tight heavy deinm.

Why?
You planning on having more kids or something?
???

[madmonday]

i didn't plan the 1st two.

they were just really strong swimmers & i swore i did enough stuff to myself to ensure i would be sterile  but no such luck.

[Seul]

I'm glad - the world needs more workdays…

[madmonday]

depends on who you ask 

i saw a pair of these on sale on ebay over the weekend, but they got snatched up so quickly i forgot to mentoin it over here.  wonder who was the quick buyer & seller?

[Guest]

I was the seller

[madmonday]

damn shame, sorry you had to sell them.

i thought the jean would be too big for you based on the measurements & i hope you made a few dollars so if you want to take the plunge again in the not to distant future you can.

[Guest]

lost money. sold for 400. i got 34, i literally think i have to get a 31 or mabeyyyy 32

[Guest]

the sizing is really insane, what possible reason they would do that has me stumped, plus they shrink alot, just wierd

[jacoavlu]

what do you mean by shrink "alot" ?

[madmonday]

imho i think it was maybe an error with the sizing but the great folks we are dealing with don't point fingers at each other & move forward the best way they know how.

that is of course all speculation on my part, & again, & more importantly, i'm sorry they didn't work out for you & that you lost money on the transaction as it seemed you were really excited about picking them up.

shrink alot?

[Guest]

prob a full inch in scorching hot water, still way to big.

[madmonday]

an inch in the waist & the inseam?

jaco, do you think the denim looks kind of like the old school IH OD denim?  to me they look like the first. . . well the second IH OD that SelfEdge carried. The only major difference is these really bleed ALOT  of course they aren't OD.

[Guest]

inch in waist, didnt notice the inseam cause they were so long i didnt even care, i got wrong inseam too, im a mess. i got 34x34 and need 32x32 or 31x31

[madmonday]

if they shrunk an inch in the waist then i'm happy with that.  mine have a real sag that could benefit with some tightening up. i plan on starting in on my busters for the tour so it might make sense for me to get a hot gentle wash out the way.  do you recall if you experienced alot of indigo loss?

[jacoavlu]

I don't have near the experience with the old denim you do monday, but yeah the outer face of the denim kinda resembles my 634sb which are circa somewhere around 2006, in that the denim is very dark and you can just see small bits of bright weft peeking through

[Guest]

im working on another pair now, do you guys buy pairs for your next ones or do you buy as soon as your ready to wear?

[jacoavlu]

nerkg are you guessing or did you measure? an inch in the waist would surprise me since self edge notes virtually no shrinkage. not saying you're wrong just trying to clarify

[madmonday]

nah you have me beat with those jaco. i have a pair of the SEXIH01BK & when i got these i went & pulled them out & they just looked really similar. The newer OD is sooo dense all you see is blackness.  The old school OD it seems as if they were just getting the recipe down.  in any event i'll see if i fell up to it to give these a gentle hot wash & take pictures. with the way the indigo is jumping off i'm just really not in a rush to have water touch these.  maybe i'll sleep on it . . . .

[Guest]

im guessing, but they were falling off me then after hot soak they were a good bit smaller, had to be an inch imo, due to my experience with diff size jeans, i could be off but they def shrank

[Guest]

if i get them again, they wont be near water for a looooong time, there so perfect. after soak they felt much rougher and more rigid
