Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s
-
I lost exactly 2 inches after two soaks. 1.5 after the first, the rest after the second.
-
I will try to check mine tonight. Also beware of the thigh measurements Tat, especially is you are doing a lot of leg workouts.
-
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

12 inch thigh

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

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.

For those of you guys that purchased these - how did you size?
Also - how much stretch did you guys see in the waist after soak + some period of wear?
-
Thanks Finn.
How did you mess up the sizing? I feel like I'm right between a 31 and 32…but worried about the waist of the 32 stretching out too much. It's tagged at 33.5". I wonder if after 2 hot soaks and some wear it will settle in around 33.5.
-
What exactly is the issue? I would see myself in a 34 too and the measurements are similar to the 555 in the same size (in the crucial ares).
-
I have a 32 in the 555-01 and I bought these in a 33. They shrank (after two soaks) an inch in the waist which measured them out to a 16, when I'm about a 17 inch waist. I got blisters on my thumb and pointer finger buttoning these up the first couple of times, however that was due as much to the shrinkage of the button holes as the actual fit. I've now worn them for 5 straight days and they fit near perfect, so they have stretched a little and will probably stretch a little more. IMO, the fit is perfect. Hope this helps

Thanks Thompsoa, that is super helpful! If you don't mind, would you be able to provide current waist measurements of your size 33? Would be good to see how much stretch they have after 2 soaks.
