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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

These aren't recent pictures.. but here are some updated pics at the 8 month mark. (12-13-10)
@k1d.:
sexih07bk 8 month update - 2 handwashes
The hole thats starting to form on the right knee is due to knee sliding across cement at 30mph on my motorcycle(wasnt intentional).. Now I'm a true believer of heavy weight denim.. without my IHs I would have road rash right now!!
Also if I told you guys I'm contemplating on running an ultra marathon (50k/31 miles) in my SEXIH07BK.. would you think I'm crazy?! haha

I'd think you'd have to worry about some serious chafing. (Not really joking.) Have you run any significant distance in them?
Not yet. I'm definitely going to go for a 10-15 miler in them first before I make my decision.. as for chafing I'll be wearing long compression pants.
Still thinking though.. not sure what I want to do yet. Only reason I'm even considering it is because this is my last ultra-marathon for awhile and I'll be packing beer and drinking every 3 miles.. so time is not a issue.. just trying to have some fun.
