IH-9301
-
Fit is very good, indeed. Main material still looks good for the most part but stress points blew out. Either you are an animal with those jeans (details please) or they are not as good as they are said to be. How often did you wear them over the four months? How many hours per day? Important: did you ever wash them?
As Haraki-san says it is important to soak them at least a couple of times because the thread won't stand up to the friction of the heavy material.

From what I have read on Sufu, JackCrank is an avid Cyclist who rides every day to and from work. How far I do not remember. I don't believe that he has ever soaked his jeans which would definitely explain the threads failing. I am sure he will fill us in with the details soon but that is what I remember for now. They are an amazing display of evolution in 4 months!

I'm so glad that I HOT washed/HOT tumble dried my IH 301S and 9301 just the other day. I turn my jeans inside out, as many of you probably do too. Though I'll never be as hard on my jeans as JackCrank or many others on this forum, as much money as I spend on this stuff, I want them to last a few years ! I can't see IH not living up to the claimed quality standards…Till is right, the jeans probably weren't soaked.

I thought this was only necessary for the unsanforized jeans.

Haraki's advice above was for the 643SR which are unsanforised.
TWHR01 are sanforised but not washed - they need to be soaked too to get the rest of shrinkgage out of them - there is still some
The rest of the "standard" range of IH jeans are sanforised and have been gently (you'd hardly know) soaked to get them to size...G

Bumped from the grave here!
Anyone else rocking the 9301's? Were these a SE exclusive model or were they available elsewhere? I should really just post in the WTB thread about a pair of w31/32's!

Also, these will now be discontinued and taken over by the new Black fade to Grey SE denim of the IH-7301…

Belgium, I need "dress" pants
Lando, gotcha on the discontinued nature of this line. I'm definitely into these though, a chap is selling a pair with a w31. I'm a 32 wasit usually, but with the holiday season etc coming up i'm not sure I can brave sizing down one.
–ninja edit
dress pants is a joke btw

I thought you were selling all your cloths for a moped ?
It was his first motorcycle, and I thought so as well… ??? Let me guess, you got them to go with the new bike?

@simon626:
Bike got sold before i could buy
Call it a cruel twist of fate…BUT I do currently have a new possession....
Canon 5D Mark 2 Slr
I've spent $400 easily on this camera this month....My dad gave it to me as a present without any accessories (which are quite necessary) so i've had to buy stuff on my own. I'm discovering photography can be quite the expensive hobbie

Never ever give up on your dream of motorcycle, you'll regret later if you do. -
ACK! Ya killed em! Bring back mah 9301s man!

I picked up a pair of 9301's off sufu. Really like them, the superblack denim really has such a different feel than my 634SR's. The black has a much softer hand. About this denim, a bit of a newbie question:
I understand the point/purpose of avoiding washing one's indigo or overdye jeans, but with the superblacks, is there any point it keeping these away from the wash? Of course there's no need to wash them every time they're worn, but is there any benefit at all to keeping these out of the wash?

just reading old posts on super black and noticed this was never answered.
the only reason i can think of is keeping the combs and stacks.
