What is your favorite IH denim.
-
not convinced on 25oz, don't like how my pair drape, but in all fairness i haven't given them even a weeks worth of wear to settle down
i love instant gratification (as instant as you can get with Iron Heart) is the 21 for comfort & drape. for character driven denim i go with 18
of course this is in no way saying the 25 is not an amazing fabric. it is just saying i like my clothing to give a little bit more.
with all these denims the best part is the fabrics are done so well you tend to forget until you have something of lesser quality. the weight of the denim IS NOT the most important part to me. funny writing that & knowing how much i love what the Iron Heart massive do, but the best part is the construction of the fabric & then the construction of the actual article of clothing. weight is cool, but for the most part the heavy is just a by-product of the limits being pushed in textile production
when you sit & take it in you know it's done well, but the greatness is so well hidden it is easy to miss & not appreciate . . . until you have something less wonderful to compare it with.

at mega,
best part about your situation is that the OD process isn't even handled the same way as when those jeans where born (you got true deadstock goodness). the OD process has been tweeked to the extent the denim comes out dark as a starless night in the middle of no where. the pair you have look more like dusk where you can see alot of the original face of the denim shining through.
glad you got those jeans as they really needed some love. i didn't realize they were 21oz, thought they were SE mutant denim

21/23oz Raw
All time favorite. Thick and hairy, which is weird, because I normally don't prefer something like that wrapped around my legs…
-
21oz, but I just received my first pair of 25oz yesterday, so we'll see how the winter goes.

Loving the 23oz SExIH 634s
-
I have only worn mine around 5 times, which is a travesty. The denim really is nice though.

634XHS
been wearing mine almost daily for a year -
^ I suspect that if SE had released that cut without the Indonesian elements, it would have been more popular. Imagine if they had had a "For the pinnacle of society" design patch etc…
-
The Indonesian elements? The only thing specifically Indonesian is the patch, which is pretty low key in real life and easily covered anyway.
They are beautiful jeans and the denim is fantastic. I hope Self Edge does another model with it, since I believe they designed it and have exclusive rights to the use of it.

What about the SExIH07 19oz denim and the 16oz TW denim? No love for these?
I LOVE the 19oz denim…my Indo's are awesome. One of the most under-rated IH jeans (for reasons which baffle me).
Not underrated. They are not for sale, sold out and there not making them anymore so why would anyone know about them

Not sold out yet- about a dozen pairs left in small and large sizes. That means there are nearly 200 pairs out there in the world, and have been for over a year (they were released in October 2011). Sure most went to Indonesia, so that gives them a lower profile than if they were all sold in the US, but we've got loads of Indonesian members.
I expected the SEXIHXINDO thread to have more than 10 pages, which is less activity than other slow selling/low volume models like the grey and white 634s and the 1955. I think "underrated" is a reasonable label.
Or maybe I'm just bitter that my pair didn't fit and I had to sell them…
