634s-SEXIH13 - 23oz Selvedge - Straight Fit
-
I'm not much of a picture taker, my friend took that one above.
The above was at Twin Falls, Idaho, the only legal place to jump in the US.
I went from a warm sunny 60/70s in Cali, to 20/30s in Idaho and now in MN. Spent 5 days outside jumping and packing at the bridge, it was awesome when it was sunny and freezing when it was cloudy.
Traveled 2300 miles total miles in a couple weeks. I'm in MN with my family then another 1500 miles to Boston at the end of the month.

Way cool. I would def. have to wash out my britches afterward if i tried that… or switch to duck
BTW, just got my SEXIH13s - fit is perfect, nice and long, I can even cuff'em - a treat when you are 6'7". They are stiff, but I like it - love the indigo color and the tight-weave denim. I can now see this denim is nothing like my other IHs - I now have 23, 21 and 18oz - all good, unique in their own way. These seem to be just a hair roomier through the legs than my Vulcans but could my imagination.
fanya's evo pics sold me (thx man). but it will take me a lot longer to break these in… my life is way less exciting :). I did jump off the couch to grab a beer last night after the Cards beat Duke.

Alright, just a couple cross xpo
131 days wear at this time.
These jeans have been worn for 22 hours or more a day. The only time they came off my legs was when I was at the gym to work out and shower 1-2 hours max (15 minutes in a hot tub everyday fixes all problems, trust me). I had been living in Cali in my car cause I couldn't find a place for me and my dog for only 4 months. I slept in them as much for having to be dress as for warmth. There was a few days in the mountains where I was sleeping at that were down in the low 30, most of the winter was in the low 40 at night (Fahrenheit for all you British people). I have enjoyed wearing these and watching them evolve so much, they are my first pair of jeans that cost more than 40$. I love them dearly and am already having parting pains now that I won't be wearing them for two years!
I'll get some good pics once it's sunny out and then they are going to get a nice soaking with some woolite, after 4+ months of skydiving, hiking, base jumping, and just plain living in them they are dirty, I can remove dirt from the creases. I'm hoping they clean up well enough to be a "dress" jean for when my MBBs are trashed and I need to look semi-respectable.
Old and new, SEXIH13 and MBB

Quality post fanya

Aloha.
All the info you need is either in the relevant thread or on the relevant webpage. That said. The 634 cut is a 1966 501 type cut, the 666 cut is a lot slimmer but definitely not skinny. All of the measurements of all of our products are under the "Sizing" tab on each page and we measure as per the "How we measure" tab. Measure your current jeans and then compare… -
It's also noted on the item description what amount of shrinkage to expect for any item you are interested in. A little bit of reading will really help you out man.

After seeing the 23oz and the 25oz side by side I really prefer the 23oz, its quite darker, don't get me wrong, the 25oz is great but the 23oz just has a little bit more. I hope some more 23oz is released in something I can fit into, another run of this cut would be awesome.
Pics after first wash coming when I get some time.

i agree I like the 25 but the 23 oz is my all time favorite denim… better than anything I have owned to date

I agree with you, it's darker, stiffer, and smoother, fades much faster though and due to the tight weave is hotter and less easy to really move in it. All in all if I had to choose one it would be the 23oz. It's just so crisp and tight

Probably last update for a while (like 1 year 11 months from now…)
131 days wear. Machine wash inside out on warm/cold followed by being dried outside. That didn't get off all the embedded dirt on the but due to sliding in so much so I did a luke warm soak and used a tooth brush to scrub the problem areas followed by being dried in the wind again. Now I have sparkling clean jeans to put away for special occasions when I need clean jeans instead of my everyday for the next 23 months MBBs.
So anyway... pics.
