worn for about 6 months total. started july 7th, 2010. two washes. color isn't far off.

It was -30 C (including windchill) today.  These kept me warm, unlike other denim of lesser weight!

[Beatle]

leftofthedial, is that the IHSH-08? and are those fades where your shoulderblades are? soo awesome!!

It is the IHSH-08. haven't taken it off much since I got it. I dont think those are fades. I think it's just the lighting of the pic, but I haven't really examined the shirt. Superblack doesn't really fade much that I'm aware of, though.

started july 7th, 2010. one initial soak, two washes. probably 6 months of wear or so total.

i have a few more pics if anyone is interested as well.

[grundletaint]

goddamn.

[Beatle]

extra epic

[Max Power]

Asked this on SuFu as well: Did the black colour wash out or are the SexIH07 lighter from the start? When I look at my 634 the selvage and inner fabric is totally black and I wonder, if 6 months are enough, to totally erase it or wash it out. Beatles pair it was also more black if I recall right.

[Beatle]

man, Max, those are the indigo ones

[Max Power]

Yeah, my bad. I'm not on the level these days, sorry.

[boscogne]

The thought occurred to me the other day…it would be nice to have the BB's in the SExIH07 denim..

[Beatle]

yap, it would, but I think that denim was SE exclusive and is not going to be made again…

[Seul]

Fit is almost the same if you downsize on the SEXIH07 though…

[jacoavlu]

So the indigo is raw, unsanforized. Would one have to soak them initially, then, to prevent damaging the denim (similar to the 634SR)?

[DougNg]

Yup

Also, if you don't soak them, the fit is completely off, they shrink and skew A LOT

[jacoavlu]

@DougNg:

Yup

Yeah, makes sense.

To clarify, you mean they shrink as expected for raw denim, and they skew a lot, or are you saying they shrink a lot and skew a lot.

Per Kiya, they shrink in the waist pretty much down to tag size.

[jacoavlu]

Ask cause I picked these up at a size 28, I have the annie's in a 29, SE's measurements are the same at the waist for both of these, but that 28 number makes me a little nervous. Of course once I soak them, they're mine…

Perhaps I'll try to post some raw fit pics once I get them... I suppose as long as I can get them buttoned, they'll be good, right?

[DougNg]

I wear the same size for both models

[leftofthedial]

I wear the same in both models. When I got them kiya recommended that I needed a 31, but I think they wouldve stretched out too much in the waist. My true waist is around a 30.5. After the initial soak I wore them damp with the top button undone for a few hours then I could button them. Same after the first wash. But after the second wash they were fine.

If you can stand a little pain for a few hours, should be good. I did a 45 minute warm soak.
