Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s
-
Well, I placed an order for a pair of size 38s. I just couldn't resist the material and want for a pair of Iron Heart heavy denim. A loomstate indigo/grey…I can't wait to feel them in my hands next week.
I do have slight worry about some measurements. Hope I can shrink the leg opening down to about 8.3" at least....haha. Hot ass water soak after the rest of the jeans have soaked in warm water.
What is the % of shrinkage of these jeans again? I read it somewhere...

Erm, possibly on the product page?
-
They have the inches marked, not percentage. If I knew what size that was from I can figure % out easy.
I have become very good with knowing my measurements, this is a slight risk for me… But it might be the best reward.
I am guessing how most denim is made it shrinks more vertically then horizontally.
-
All the measurements and the expected shrinkage are on that page. You therefore have all the data you need to work out the percentage shrinkage…..

Supposed to be in my mailbox tomorrow. Hope the snow doesn't stop the mailman from coming! So excited to get my hands on some Iron Hearts!

Just received the jeans about 45 minutes ago. Took pre wash measurements and fit pictures(processing photos shortly).
I have to say I am not happy…I am ECSTATIC! I am glad SE and SENY were off in their measurements. Everything was a little bit bigger than what they say when I measure(and I measure 3 times). The only measurement that was smaller than I was told is the hem, soooo good! I believe it was 8.25", which means about 8 once dried
I will post pre wash measurements and pics shortly then. Just wanted to say I am extremely happy with everything.

Here are my pre wash measurments…My jeans have been in the tub for about 20 minutes or so already and I forgot to take inseam measurements, oh well.
Waist - 20"
Front Rise - 11.1875"
Back Rise - 15.375"
Seat 5" Down - 24"
Seat 8" Down - 25.25"
Thich(at crotch) - 14.25-14.375"
Thigh 1" Down - 13.875
Thigh 2" Down - 13.25"
Thigh 3" Down - 12.75"
Thigh 4" Down - 12.125"
Knee 13" - 9.375"
Knee 15" - 9.25"
Leg Opening - 8.25"(the inside diameter, not outer)Yes I know, a lot of measurements, but if I know those measurements I know jeans/pants will fit me perfectly.
Here some quick shots I took...
The hairs
I love little details. Both sides are selvedged finished, which I love
Now for two fit pics, I paid the model nothing…
For being such a heavy denim, they don't seem bad. I wore thicker/more uncomfortable clothing in my life. Can't wait for these to be dry overnight and throw them on tomorrow!
-
I do love that denim.
-
Thanks guys. The denim is very pretty, can't wait to see how it performs over the next few years. I can probably say now this will be one of, if not my favorite pairs ever. They are still drying, but I took a hem measurement and they are at 8", so I am super happy.
I can never let my fiancee know how much I spent though, she would literally kill me. She just doesn't get raw denim and all its offerings.
I will be back to post measurements and fit pics tomorrow. I am surprised there isn't more talk about this denim. Loomstate is one of the rarest fabric to find, at least for me.
-
Quick question, always wondered…what is the Red W/E on the back right pocket mean/stand for?
-
It's a W standing for "the Works".
Edit: Damn, too slow.
-
Ok, so they jeans are try, they were stiff, so I figured why not?
Anywho, I took post wash measurements. I had the jeans in for about 50 minutes warm, then about 30 hot/warm.
Waist - 19.25-19.5"
Front Rise - 10.75"
Back Rise - 14"
Thigh(at crotch) - 14"
Thigh 1" Down - 13.5"
Thigh 2" Down - 13"
Thigh 3" Down - 11.75"
Knee 13" - 9.25"
Knee 15" - 9.125
Opening - 8"
Inseam 36"I didn't measure the seat, there is lots of room in these jeans compared to my other pairs.
Just like before, fit pics
and with the hardware
Jeans fit well. Wish the waist shrunk another inch or so though. With how stiff the jeans are for now they push out. Def got a natural looking crotch buldge(the woman always points that out…)
-
With the measurements they had/giving me…I wasn't going to risk it. The knee and thigh are pretty much spot on.
Once they break in, the top block won't be too bad. Plenty of room which is nice on the bike.
They might look big, but the top block isn't too far from my skin.
-
Now comes the hard part, waiting for some fades to start coming in!
These 22oz jeans are more comfortable than the unbranded pair I had and got rid of months ago. I don't find these uncomfortable at all, maybe it is because they aren't super tight,haha.
