634s-SEXIH13 - 23oz Selvedge - Straight Fit

[pookguy]

Can't wait for mine…what's the usual turnaround for hemming from SE?

[derivative666]

I should have mine Wed and will post some photos

[v6power]

Is this using the same fabric with SRaw ?

[derivative666]

Same denim as the SEXIHXLSXA13

Would have got this if they had a 28

why dosent it look nearly as dark as the sexihxlsxa13's

[Giles]

Perhaps because I took a quick photo and didn't have time to colour balance….

[Guest]

Will G be copping a pair of these?

[Giles]

Nope.  He loves them (he really does) and I ought to get a pair of jeans made out of that denim, but I have a pair of 25oz to wreck and a pair of Vulcans straining to be unleashed….

Damn it, maybe I'll ask Kiya to bring a pair to Japan with him - we meet up in Tokyo 3 weeks today.....

That patch is awesome.  Right up there with the 666's skull and the 555's snakes.

If anyone has both the 23oz and 25oz IH denim, can you please compare and contrast? (Colour difference is obvious, I'm more interested in how it feels and how long it takes to break in).

23oz 13 denim is much tighter weave, thus not breathing as well. also it has less give, i noticed it most in the crotch area. even after a few months. the 25oz is a pretty tight weave but nothing like the 23, it has some give and i bit of breathability. the 23 seems a tad smoother to the touch and has a little more sheen. i prefer the give of the 25oz, but the 23oz is my favorite denim because of its smooth tight and rigidness, if your looking for high contrast fade and a faster fade go with the 23oz. for less contrast and more comfortable but longer time to fade go with 25. the 25 is quite similar to the 21oz in my opinion, but the 23 is a whole new animal. these are all my personal opinions and experience but i own 21,23,25, and 18ozod

If there's any floating around when I'm in SE in person, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to hold myself back.

Excellent description, nerkg. The 23 oz denim is pretty amazing stuff. It's like denim Kevlar. I can't wait until I can pick up the 666-XHS, sounds equally awesome.
