Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s

[Bianco]

@Chris:

You could always remove it and have a blank pocket.  Should only take about 10-15 minutes with a stitch ripper.  It would be a shame to write off a great pair of jeans over something this simple.

By the way, I like the half arc.

For sure; a little surgery could do the trick. I'll have to trust my hands with a poking/cutting implement and $400 jeans though haha. Thank you for the input!

Even if you totally spazzed-out, I'm pretty sure a seam-ripper couldn't put much of a dent in Iron Heart!

[xtcclassic]

I removed the arcs on my SEXIHXLSXA13's. It's easy to do, and would be hard to screw up.

I wanna see some eve guys!

I'll try to take some pics of the very modest wear on mine tomorrow. Don't have high hopes though, I'm probably the slowest fader on the forums!

^I think we're pretty close. Brothers in slow fadezzz

[Anesthetist]

Incoming disappointing fade footage! As you can see they are still very dark, but some high contrast blues are popping up.

[Appfaff]

That blue is crazy up close!

Can anyone tell me the experience you had with the insesm shrinkage post soak. Approximately how much did you lose ?

[thompsoa]

I just got my pair and I took pre-soak measurements, I'll be soaking them tonight and letting them dry overnight, so I'll post the before and after tomorrow

[DanielAFC]

I lost exactly 2 inches after two soaks. 1.5 after the first, the rest after the second.

[Anesthetist]

I will try to check mine tonight. Also beware of the thigh measurements Tat, especially is you are doing a lot of leg workouts.

[tatmantall]

Thanks A, as long I stick in the 11.8-12 area should be okay, so looks alright for waist 33, I do need to double check calf measurement though

[thompsoa]

Pre Soak Measurements, sz 33
37.5 inch inseam
17 inch waist
10 inch front rise
13.75 rear rise
12.5 thigh
8.5 knee
7.75 inch hem

Post Soak (45 Minutes in warm water followed by another 30 in very hot water)
35 inch inseam
16 inch waist
9.75 inch front rise
13.5 inch rear rise
12 inch thigh
8.25 inch knee
7.5 inch hem

All measurements were done the IH method….now just gotta figure out a way to fit into these

[tatmantall]

Whammy, way too much inseam shrinkage to work for me.

[Seul]

9.75 inch front rise
13.5 inch rear rise

Lawd oh lawd… Those are as bad as N&F jeans...

[thompsoa]

They work perfectly for people with thick thighs (me) and want a slim fit. The smaller rise takes away the saggy ass, so for me, I wouldn't call it "bad," they just look like they fit.

[madmonday]

so true thompsoa, so true. i think 301s fit so many different builds of people so well, with them adding the visible selvedge detail & the different fabrics i can see them doing them every year or so in a different SExIH fabric (like they been doing) & me picking up a pair if the denim looks like it checks enough boxes for me.

fit pics when the time presents itself, thompsoa.  thanks for the measurements & images

[Anesthetist]

My front rise is down to about 9.5" on my 33" pair. Somehow they are still more comfortable than the somewhat low rise of my DC4001. The inseam is about 35".

[thompsoa]

Taken with an iphone so they're not the best images, the back side is yet to settle down, which of course is normal since this is just the second time I've had them on (did sleep in them, great pajamas). Double cuffed, am yet to get over to Self Edge and have them hemmed. Don't have as much of a twist as Anesthetist. This denim is unreal, if anyone is on the fence, just make the move on these while they're still available. Having the 555-01, 555-02, and 555-03's, I have pieces to compare, and I don't want to say these are better cuz I love the all three of those, but this denim is amazing and the cut is on point. Oh and Im 6'0, 185, if that helps with any decision making.
