Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-633s

[xtcclassic]

Back pockets being too far apart is definitely not a good look. I notice this occasionally with some IH cuts, but not in every fit pic– I don't know if it's certain body types or just larger sizes in general that make it more apparent. I notice it the most with the 634 cut. But again, not in every fit pic.

Which models have pockets that are closer together?  Currently, I only have the 634 and the 633, and they have the same spacing on the back pockets.

The pockets on Iron Heart jeans are placed further apart than on many other jeans on purpose.  It is so that you don't sit on so much of the pocket, and contents thereof, when astride your bike.  It is a Haraki signature and will not change.

I'm glad for it- I use the back pockets all the time, and if I'm sitting on top of my wallet in the right pocket, it starts to f*** with my back.  No fun.  Seems like a practical consideration.

Sizing up is perfect in these in my opinion. Just enough room to consistently skate without getting a crazy crotch rip after every session.
Currently giving them a second soak to reduce the waistline even more.

A couple days shy of 4 months

Considering how rigid this denim was initially, it softens up pretty quickly.  I've only worn mine 4-5 times, and they're already getting pretty comfortable.

Just purchased a pair and before I even soaked them I could tell the front pockets are going to be a problem. I don't use them much but it is odd how small the opening is. Even smaller compared to my SEXIHXINDO16. Nonetheless, I'm excited to wear these.

any bigger guys take the plunge on the 633s? I'm a tagged 38 on my busters, and the waist on these 38s says 38.5 while the 301s says 39.5

My busters have stretched out to 39.5 - I could maybe go .5 smaller and still be comfy but I'm worried about that 38.5. When I looked at self-edge's waist measurement though it looks like it doesnt directly double the waistline, you can see the V for the lower front rise and they're only measuring the back half.

Does that discrepancy give the extra .5-1 inch I'm looking for?

This Denim is very tough and hard to stretch. But you will get the 0,5 inch when working on it;)

Enjoy ya addiction!

[irishexpat]

yeah - but wont the shrinkage put me down to 37.5?

I did try on some jeans recently (SG3105) that were 38 inches in the store and I could button them…but I would definitely want some stretch to end up at 38.5-39

For some reason when I upload through my phone, the pictures will end up rotated.
Any suggestions?

About 6months now, 3 soaks

[Giles]

I do not know why that happens, but I have rotated them….

[KrisB]

Thanks G

About 8 months and many washes. I'm trying to take my time with these, because it's always nice to have a dark pair of jeans.
