@madmonday:

the denim on these is dark, dark, dark.

That was the reason I didn't get them. I have one pair of black jeans and barely wear them. Those are basically black to me.

Purchased a pair today at SESF….I had to size down one, once I get them back from being hemmed, I'll provide pics.

So 36? Can't wait to see some fit pics of the larger sizes.

[crisone]

^ Yeah…I was surprised.

[jacoavlu]

quick and dirty but you get the idea, brightened up a bit to show the fit better the denim too dark otherwise
I'll provide a quick review later too lazy to type more on my phone

[Seul]

Kinda looks like the 666XHS fitwise… Obviously I like that fit... 

[LandoCal126 0]

Looks like a good fit Jaco. You sized down one correct?

[jacoavlu]

yes, w29

for reference I wear w30 in sexih07 , 9301, 301s07bk (I could do 31 the legs are so slim), my 634sr are w29 but I wish they were w30, my 634sb are w31 but they're old and they run small back then the waist only measures about 30.5

[LandoCal126 0]

Thanks. Yeah, very flattering cut on you. Can't wait to see how they look once they settle and fade a bit. Cheers

[ChuckDenim]

Looks like a epic fit jaco. Nice slim straight cut.

[daynym]

Nice fit there, The denim looks pretty shiny. In a good way

[Finn666]

perfect fit on them jeans jaco…love the whole outfit I have to say...pretty badass!

[kit99bar]

Jaco sick fit and wow we really do wear all the same sizes!

[TWELVEAM]

Will post fit photos once I get mine back from SE on Thursday from hemming. 

I must have missed you Cris, I dropped by Saturday afternoon.

[madmonday]

nice as always jaco . . . & you want them shorter why?

actually was staring at the fit & i can understand

[jacoavlu]

yeah I had planned to wear without a cuff but I can't do the big stacks especially early when the denim so rigid and crazy looking. I played it safe with hem length cause theyre supposed to shorten a little with a wash, if I could do over I'd chop another inch or so but I'm too impatient to send them back again.

edit: and thanks all for kinds words on the fit

[jacoavlu]

so my mini review

the denim is very dark but not black. its an even deep deep blue. barely any weft peeking through, the weft seems same as most other ih denims I think, double strand, beige color. denim is tight and smooth, very beefy feeling. the inner face is very soft, a friend described it well said it almost feels brushed.

the cut reminds me a bit of the 301s up top, seems natural to wear them a bit low on the hips, but of course with a slimmish straight fit through the legs and not the aggressive taper of the 301. really like the cut.

the back pockets are noticeably longer than any other IH jean I have. this plus the mini sag puts the wallet quite low, thats gonna take some getting used to, leads to a bit of a funny fit in the seat that I hope relaxes a bit with wear. but i dont think the denim is gonna stretch too much, just my guess.

they are going to fade. seeing little corners of indigo loss after a day. gonna do my best to wear these for a while.

[madmonday]

bravo jaco.  thank you for the review.

Great review, Jaco. The fit and description look great.
