I passed. Waiting for this denim (non-OD) in 301 cut.

^^ is that in the works? Or just wishful thinking…

+1 on this cut being perfect.  too many jeans now though

Not in the works, but more than wishful thinking. Won't be soon.

If I hadn't just bought the 666 XHS and there wasn't a 634 RAW coming in NOV-ish, I would have bought them in a heartbeat.  I feel like these will be too close to the 634 measurements, and weight isn't an issue since I easily wear my SRs in 100 degree weather.

I tried a pair of these on in SENY yesterday.  The denim is AMAZING.

Is it enough to get you to set aside your Strike Golds?

[jacoavlu]

more interested to know what you thought of the cut?
the denim is not new after all
agree, amazing though

[babyknight]

I think it's a nice cut but not the ideal one for me personally, as I tend to prefer something that is as slim as possible around the thigh.  That's just what I think works best for my body type.  That said, I do find it somewhat difficult to accurately judge the true nature of a cut of unsanforized denim pre-soak.

The feel of the denim and reputation of its fading qualities made this tempting for me, but when it comes to retiring my Strike Golds (not quite yet Chris but I am planning ahead!) I think I am more likely to go for a pair of 666s (not sure yet between the 18oz and 25oz) or perhaps the raw Busters.

Nice pair Simon 

[babyknight]

post-soak fit looks spot on.

[jacoavlu]

fit looks great
those numbers seem slimmer than I would expect…
are you measuring with giles' method?

[jacoavlu]

just that the leg numbers are quite slimmer than SE measurements while the waist larger… a fit I could get after

an 11" thigh is quite slim for a waist 31

[kit99bar]

If they are measured iron heart method, then 11 is really tiny but the fit pics match pretty well

[jacoavlu]

the method of thigh measurement is different than giles method
see the how we measure page on the web shop

for God´s sake, Simon, use a tape measure , not a branch..

[daninaga]

maaaannn,, me as Indonesian dying waiting this thing to come, and now somebody already soaked it,,,

[madmonday]

are the back pockets red lined as well?  that would be pretty great

As I understand these are quite like the SEXIH07, denim is similar correct?  My pair of SEXIH07 started a bit like Simon's but kept shrinking for about a year (3 washes or so).  The waist ended up somewhere around 30.5" (tagged 32) and the thighs ended up quite tight.  The front rise also ended up much lower than I expected.
