SExIH07 Jeans (Indigo, Black)
-
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.

very nice whiskers
Thanks. The only thing that is really evoing in a noticeable way at the moment! Everything looked a bit better after a wash.

choo-choo coming
happy 12th, buddy!!!

Is there any practical difference in the weight of the denim on these (the non-OD's specifically) compared to the usual 21 oz. IH denim or the SR denim?
I have a pair of these brand new. I wear my 634sr all the time which are only lightly worn by IH standards (about 6 months), I can't justify starting on these new jeans, unless they were going to be easier to wear vs. the SR denim as the weather warms up.
Anyone with experience can compare? Seul? LOTD?

Didn't want this to get buried. Still hoping to get thoughts in denim weight on these vs the SR.

The weight on these are similar to the 21oz, but they feel totally different. After soak, the SEXIH07's are also 21oz
That being said, they feel very different. They're crunchy like the SR's, not soft and pliable like the 634s
It gets pretty hot down here in MD in the summer, and I have a pair of Triple Works in the closet waiting to be worn when the weather starts at 80+degrees
