Any more pics or impressions guys? I am really liking these, though the thighs are borderline too small. Have any of you worn them much. Thoughts?
-
I like them. I am usually a 34, and went for these 36 (NoKipple picked out a "smaller" 36 for me), because I don't really like heavyweight denim that is also tight anywhere. After a few weeks of wear, I think a 34 might have worked too, hard to say–I'm happy with the 36. Wearing them most days this winter, and if I can find my camera I'll take a pic. They are very comfortable early on, a pleasure to wear, feel great. Yes, the buttonholes are a bit loose, but then again my thumbs are thankful.

I went with 34 (my normal size) and am struggeling with the thighs…if you're interested in a swap, feel free to PM me.

Might be worth a thought. I'll PM you. Thing is, when I sit, the thighs seems perfect. Don't want them any tighter. When I stand and am moving around, it's a little looser fit, workmanlike, a bit extra in the seat, etc., little wider silhouette (as the term goes). The only things I have this heavy are IH634S-B (34W), which I have a lot of wear on and feel, fit great. Can move, work, sit, and they still look good as just jeans, my IH-461S, which are a whole different fit/cut and not really comparable (but just as great as the 634S-B), and the SteelFeather 210z, which is slim, tight in thighs, and made me realize I do not want anything heavyweight that's tight in thighs again, although I like them and wear them and understand over time they will soften and feel fine, one (once) is enough…The Elhaus though is such a different weave, so different altogether than anything else I've worn, it's like it's own category (in a way, I think the IH 21oz sanforized, no matter what the cut, is like nothing else as well).
-
I'm more intrigued with each new set of pics, it's the whole 'handwoven' thing that gets me - I mean they look quite unique, and a different texture to other denims that I've seen (although I'll freely admit that I haven't sampled much outside of IH/TW), but I just imagine they would feel like a heavy, soft cloth as a result of the way they've been made?
Curiosity may get the better of me and then I'll just have to buy a pair
-
Yes, they feel very soft and thick. Sort of like super heavyweight sweatpants, but not really. Seriously unique denim.
-
I've got a pair of these on the way, and I'm crossing my fingers the fit will work out. (Thanks again, Arlo!)
In the meantime, I found some pics of evo on Darahkubiru that are really interesting, and thought I'd share them. The subdued gray-ish purple tone on the thighs looks really old-timey to me, for some reason. If the OP sees this, I hope you don't mind me using your pics!

Got mine yesterday from Nokipple. Denim is completely different in colour and feel compared to my SExIH-13.
I love the single seam back pocket construction.
Top block is a bit tight due to pre-surgical fatness…nothing a good amount of diet exercise and hiking can't solve.
OK. Forget the diet I' m off to Nockherberg.
Cheers. -
Damn, those look perfect on you! Nicely done @match
