634s-SEXIH13 - 23oz Selvedge - Straight Fit
-
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 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.

Damn. Those are looking great. Wanna share your secret? Some kind of denim sorcery? lol

Thanks all!
@seanocono: it was tough putting them down, but after wearing them yesterday while I took pictures of my MBBs I'm glad the MBBs are my contest jeans and not these. While I like the fabric better, for all the reasons stated above I'm glad I'm not wearing them because they are significantly hotter than the 25 oz. I mean I knew the weave was tighter because these look like straight black indigo while the 25oz has some white speckling in it. I couldn't believe it by just changing jeans but the lack of breathe-ability difference is really easy to tell on your legs and working in the summer is going to be hot.
The only thing I'll disagree with is I find these give up their ink even harder than the 25 oz. I just took pictures at the 31 day mark for the MBBs and they are definitely farther along than these at that point and I haven't even been working yet.
As far as how do I wear denim so far? Idk, are these coming around fast for 131 days? I wear them everyday, and I'm a very active person (I consider myself anyway). I also work in them, I think the top block area came along so fast (faster than the combs imo) because of the leg straps I wear when I work. Maybe because I'm a typically hot person with sweaty hands too? Idk, just put your jeans on and go do some activities
Thanks for the nice comments all

This is where it's @ :). It's likely going to take me literally years to get where yours are at, but no wurrize mun, no rush, it's about living and being, wearing jeans. The jeans conform to the life style. No need to rush. Every day, every wear is the destination and goal :).
Beautiful looking jeans

from kiya today on sufu: "the 301s is coming out in a super small run of the [634s-SEXIH13] denim in three weeks"
these will be epic

This is tough denim - I love it but they are still really stiff and holding their color vs. my other IH denims (21 and 18). I don't have any 25 oz but I wonder how that could possibly be any heavier/stiffer than this 23 oz tight weave. Fanya jumps off cliffs and shit - I don't see how mere mortals who sit in chairs all day could ever put a dent in it :).
-
Oh and bluegrass, the 23 is tighter and stiffer. The 25s I'm wearing seem to have loosened up faster, and losing their color faster too. They are also a lot cooler, the difference between the heat in the 23 vs 25 is crazy.
I hope the 301 cut is flattering on me cause I'll be one just to let it sit for till the contest is over. The 23oz is by far my favorite between the 23 vs 25.

I'm not big on the 301 personally I'm a skinny dude but at 6'6" there's no way it's physically possible for a 10.7 thigh measurement to work for me even though I only weigh in at 170 lbs… That's just way too tight for my liking furthermore the leg opening is 7" which means no boots either at least for me wearing a size 13 boot under a hem opening that small looks like I'm trying out to be the next Ronald McDonald
-
I agree, I'm like you and hoping that perhaps with the heavier and tighter weave that the cut may open up a bit… Even if to just an 11" thigh I could manage that... But I really would need the hem opening almost an inch larger to satisfy my type of footwear and with that much of a change it would practically give the cut the sane specs as the devil cut. Now that I think about it a 23 oz. 666 would be epic!! Doubtful to happen tho
