Has anyone experienced the half inch of shrink in the inseam on these as described on the Self Edge website?

[jacoavlu]

yes approx half inch when I soaked mine

[JCar2666]

Thanks jaco. Trying to determine my hem length.  Did you soak before wearing?

[jacoavlu]

no but I soaked them a short time before getting them hemmed

How does this 23 Oz fabric breathe compared to the 21 Oz fabric of the 634S? Is the 23 Oz equally comfortable to wear in the summer like the 21 Oz in 634S? Thanks.

From what others have posted, the 23 ounce is so tightly woven that your legs will need their own supply of oxygen

no! not even close, i own 23 oz, 25oz, and have owned 21 and 18. 23 by far is the least breathable and downright hottest, even more so than the 25

Hello Good people.

I don't agree that the 23oz is more hot and stiff (tightly woven) then the 25oz.

My 23 (sex13) has been cold soaked once, and worn 150 days compared to my 25 (666xhs), cold soaked twice and worn about 200 days ,- and my 23 is considerably softer then the 25.

Enjoy.

Who said anything about which one was softer? Or stiffer??I think your confused. On my 23, the weave is so tight that I cannot even see the weft yarn. Tight weave does not mean less soft or less stiff. Just tighter..

[dave]

It's just an opinion, dude…

[colour ghost]

Ok nerkg. I always thought tightly woven was the same as stiff, since the denim will be harder to bend, but i might be wrong, or confused 

Enjoy you crazy denim lovers.

^sorry for all the punctuation, not trying to be a jerk..

It's "I think you're confused". Sorry: not trying to be a jerk…

Good thing we've got a Belgian who is an English major!  Lack of trying has never stopped anyone from being a jerk…
The way I see it, the 25 oz is constructed like the 21oz denim with two threads wrapped around each other to create the weft. This is why the 21 oz is so breathable when others of similar weight may not be. This becomes more apparent after breaking in. With the 23 oz denim I'm pretty sure it is not constructed in this way, hence not as breathable, probably just as soft because they are both made from some fine ass cotton.  Maybe G can clarify for us. I like facts more than opinions and bitching/moaning.

I'm only a major prick, is all

You and me both, mate…

The Weft of 21, 23 and 25 (and the upcoming 17) are constructed as per Scroogens description.  We change the heft of the 2 twisted white threads to get the different ounceage.  The different in looks between the denims is to a great extent dictated by 1) the number of dips in indigo and te amount of oxidisation time and the tension with which the denim is woven…..

[Sherdil]

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Much appreciated.

[madmonday]

need pictures in here.  just started wearing these (full time) so i'll see if i can help out.  the rise is low & the back pockects are bigger than i'm used to . . . oh also, the denim bleeds indigo more than any denim i've ever experienced. these really remind me of the way my 3sixteen shadow selvedge jeans are cut.

will get pictures up in the next week or so.  got a bunch but internet been spotty at best

[Finn666]

happy that you´ve decided to go with these instead of the 666 25oz…looking forward to your next update!
