SExIH07 Jeans (Indigo, Black)

[Seul]

You and me both, Giles. I won't be the one experimenting with it, as I have enough heavy bastards on my plate, but can't wait to see others have a go at them!..

[PeterParker]

Wow.  Thanks for the responses.  This sure is an active forum!

I didn't expect anyone to be that geeky about the differences in the denim to experiment with them; just thought it would be cool.  Obviously everyone wears their jeans differently, and even the same person wouldn't produce the same fades on different pairs of jeans.

I suppose that the 19oz denim is fairly similar to the 21oz denim then, and will produce lovely classic IH fades.

BTW, thanks Beatle for doing such a wicked job of photographing your jeans.  I hope to wear mine someday as well as you are wearing yours!

Geeky = normal on this forum…G

just a weird question that i could be completely wrong about, but i'm sure someone will know.

i know that a sanforized jean is essentially just denim that's gone through the shrink to fit process by way of a treatment. if a jean is STF, when the shrinkage is done is the denim technically the same ounce denim?

ie- is the 19oz denim on these jeans still considered 19oz, or does it become heavier(?) like the 634SR?

[that_was_easy]

Others will have more info on this since I'm still not totally clear/have forgotten the details, but using your example with the 634SR… the 21/23 oz. designation is pre and post soak.  Really heavy denim.

Basically I understand it to be that once the denim shrinks, the denim compresses and more 'fits' into a square yard, which is the standard dimension at which it's weight is taken.

the 19oz denim weighs apprx. 21 after soak.

X-post, but just to get them in the rightful place for all to see!

long time no update

Post-soak… 45' in cold water and all the fades are gone lol... My 634s'es sure will get a different treatment (1 cold soak as soon as they've stretched enough, then wear til either it falls apart or I die)...

They look so clean - colour is def indecipherable now

After roughly three months of wear?

[Giles]

That's some serious head-banging you got going on there Looking Busy….G

[deadendpro]

ok… big question... how do you like the fit Simon?  ??? 

[Seul]

Ask him in 2 weeks!.. 

[thomasnunnally]

Been wearing for about 3 months now, about two thirds of the time.  With the heat of this summer being ridiculous, these buggers smelled pretty awful, so I decided a wash was necessary.  Pre wash pics.
