Ricochet, are those washed or soaked already or are they still dry? It looks like there is no shrink at all so far. The fit is still too baggy for my taste especially in the rear. The wash/soak will also take care of the length. You can subtract about 2 inches easily. That said, I actually like the big cuff. The cuff on mine is 3.5" (after washing) and I love the look but from the photos I am a slankier proportioned guy than you.
So I wouldn't do a double wrap on the cuff. If they are still unwashed, wear them like this for some time, knowing that once you wash them the length will be significantly less and more to your liking. So far, it already looks good, except for the excess cloth at the rear end.
Forgot to mention, I have just as much leg twist as you do and also only on the left leg. The twist direction is normal for a right hand twill as I just learned. I just wonder why it is only on one leg.

Thanks for replies. I did cold soak/wash as per Haraki-san instructions on website and this is right after they dried. I forgot to measure inseam before soaking, now it 34’ and I presume before soak was 35 inch? (size 34 japanese version). Will they shrink another couple of inches in length after next wash or is it save to hem them? Regards size, cant size down as i m too fat in waist

They should end up at about 33, maybe you'll lose a bit of length after the next wash. Once the denim softens up a bit with wear, they'll drape a little better -
can i see a fit pick of the super black 22oz riders jacket?

Or you could look in this thread at DougNg and his IH Brown Duck Riders Jacket. I understand that the material is not the same and may fall differently but I'd say it's damn close!

So what's the deal of the 45 degree left leg only twist. I have seen other pictures of other brand selvage raw jeans and it was actually the same thing. Must have something to do with the construction why the left leg would twist but not the right one. Probably how they put the pattern on the cloth to make the cut. Not sure.
Stewart, I had the same trouble turning the jeans but it didn't quite take my that long. But it was still a wrestling act with an alligator rather than washing pants.
Oh, and can you please post a better picture of your jeans. I'd like to see if the six month straight method was worth it in this case. Mine have been soaked 2 or 3 times by Giles before I got them and washed once with mild detergent in the bathtub by myself after I had worn them for two weeks almost every day.
I don't have whiskers yet but can see some fade on the pockets and knees starting to happen.

Hello friends. Here's me in my Iron Heart 9301 Slim Super Black (W28, length unaltered) and black Sugar Cane studded belt (W32). Both were purchased from Self Edge, San Francisco, CA. Oh, if it matters – that's an Adidas track jacket I'm wearing. These pics were taken at my workplace in Alameda, CA. Yeah, this is how I dress to work. Super cool, huh ? I have a pretty cool job, if I must say so.

As ever Shub, great fit, great look and great photos
Agreed! However a little tighter in the rear would not go a miss

You are so-o-o right Heavy Duty ! You know, every pair is different and though these are a W28 just like my IH 301S, they're a tad baggier than I'd like. They were quite tight on my butt when I first got them but after about 30 wears, they've loosened up. I haven't soaked/washed them yet.

Ironhearts not chainstitched ..blasphemy
I gotta say I agree with beatle. I understand that different people live in different parts of the world and may not be able to access a proper Chainstitcher, but if you are going to order a pair of IH's why not go all the way and finish off the job… Properly?
