    Today is the first full day I've worn my new SExIHxLSxA13's which I picked up from the SE sale.  I've got to say first impressions are that these are really lightweight compared to my MBB's which have been my exclusive pair more or less for the last ~18 months.  The fit is going to take some time to get adjusted to them, they seems almost high rise in the front and low rise in the rear.  I gave them a hot shower soak to try to take some of the slack out the waist which helped although they are still somewhat loose.  I'm looking forward to getting some good wear out of these and I'll try to post some updates later on.

      I picked some up from QuePasa as well. I'm also getting used to the fit. Did they shrink much? I picked up the 28's and they barely work, I want to break them in before soaking to stretch them out a bit. However I need to soak prior to getting them hemmed since the 38 inseam is too long. I'm fairly new to raw denim, this is the heaviest pair I own, what do you recommend I do soak wise?

        Soak inside out in hot water with plenty of agitation. The 23oz denim is the Mogwai of denim btw. Once it is exposed to water, it becomes something entirely less soft and cuddly. But it will soften up after a day's wear.

          Two days a week for almost two years now, give or take. Maybe 8 washes?

            Looking good and they compliment the 55 very well!

              Those look great! Just started wearing my pair, averaging about 2 wear/week. Can't wait to get work these in.

                A few images from the HWDC2 final submission thread on SuFu:

                Still plenty of life left in these, I look forward to many more years in rotation with my other IH, Samurai, Strike Gold, and PBJ denim.

                  Awesome pair! Love the tonal stitching!

                    Yeah, me too. I wish the 666S-II had tonal stitching, that would be my next pair for sure. Oh well, I have plenty of denim (including this pair) to keep me busy for quite a while.

                      I second that! Another option is the 633SII from Self Edge. The thing looks dope!

                          ^Good luck, @atm23 I hope you find a pair, this denim may be my favorite IH denim (admittedly I've only experienced this denim, the 25oz, and the 21oz, and my favorite is usually whatever I'm currently wearing because all three are so awesome). I wore mine yesterday for the first time in a while (still trying to make a dent in my 666-XHS), and was once again amazed by how great they are.

                            Me too. These are my favorite jeans. I bought two pairs both in the same size (W33). The pair I have been wearing is tight and experiencing some serious crotch blowout. The other is completely DS. I have found a sz 34 but I don't know if that is big enough because I just bought the 633S-II in a W38. Those fit great!

                            Do you guys know of anybody that can take two jeans and make a completely new pair? I have contacted RailCar, IndigoProof, etc…

                            Or if any of you have a 35 or 36 you're willing to trade, please let me know asap, am am willing to add cash. Thanks.

                            If anybody needs a never-worn sz W33 let me know too.

                              I normally wear tag size 33 and I have a tag size 31 in these (and if I remember correctly, the waist on the 31's measured 34"), so a tag size 34 in these probably isn't too far off from a tag size 38 in the 633's.

                                About a year of heavy wear. These don't fit anymore, so my go-tos are the 633S-II. Someone sell me a sz 36. I have another DS 33.

                                  Anyone have the original measurement guide? Found a pair online and the guy says the thigh is 12" on a sz38?? Seems very small to me

                                    The sizing was wacky on these. Plus Self Edge measures the thigh 1" down from the crotch instead of at the crotch like IH does. Still, 12" seems slim for a size 38. @kiya ?

                                      The original measurements show the thighs on a 38 to be 13.75"

                                        That sounds more like it. Good luck, @pillowPANTS , I hope you can grab a pair. Amazing denim. I'm glad Self Edge was out of the 666-XHS back then and I decided to order these instead.
