Just became the proud owner of some 301s. This is my first IH denim experience. I'm freaking amazed at the quality of these jeans. They are tight but contour perfectly. What is the consensus on the inseam shrinkage? I need to get them hemmed a few inches. I was wondering if I should soak them to get some shrinkage out of the way before I send them off to be chainstitched.

those are sanforized so shrinkage should be minimal..

cristeza

Awesome. Yeah, the product description on self edge says that they will shrink .5" in length.

Question to you who own both 301's and Flatheads BSP's: Which one has higher rise? Rear rise preferably?

gazeboarder

I measure close to a 2 inch difference between the IH 301 and the FH BSP. My IH301 size 36 measure about 16 inches (rear rise). The Flat Heads size 36 measure 14 inches. The BSP's have a much tighter upper block. I would also say my 301's have stretched more than my BSP's. Both jeans are great.

They got a good washing after all the work was done

Finally got a chance to start wearing my new 301s. The quality is superb. I went with a size 30. True waist (where the jeans sit) is about 32". Weight 160, Height 5' 10". These were a little tight but loosened nicely within a a day. They definitely will stretch. I live in Florida so I was a little hesitant to go with some 21 ounce denim, but I must say I wore them for a walk today around the block with an outside temp of 78 (Florida) and was damn comfortable. Looking forward to beating the shit out of these. Excuse the room mess (we are moving) and crappy photos.

Those look great and it's nice to hear from a Floridian wearing 21 oz denim. I'm in Florida as well and was concerned with how it would be in our brutal summers.

Thanks! That info is very useful: FH BSP plumbers smile > IH 301 plumbers smile

about the OD question…
I caught a pair of 301s from SE. Great jeans, heavy but comfortable, spectacular fit. My first from IH, never experienced anything like these before. Far better than overpriced stuff like Prps, Evisu, Edwin. Another philosophy.
So, after one week, I was an addict, lurking on IH's forum, speculating about sizes and stuff...
Then I ordered a pair of 666Sod. I liked all the over-dyed idea, looking forward to the evolution, the fabulous blue-denim fading that I saw in the pics. I was very excited.

Now I can say that the two things are quite different. 666Sod appear to be thicker then 301s, even with a 19oz denim, that is thinner. They seem more difficult to break. maybe is the OD process itself. Is it possible?

But they are beautiful, I can't take off them anymore!
So what can I do? I have two beast to handle in the same time… I love them both, so I'm doumbfounded.
I think I'll take the 666Sod till to the first fading, then i'll go back to my 301s (Oh, I miss them!).

sorry for the crappy english, but I'm a little rusty, to this day.

I always thought it's great to be able to rotate a od with a pair of indigos..just wear

When Haraki was making the 18oz for me I specced a dark slubby raw denim. The OD process on this denim really does seen to contract the weave even more….....

I rotate all 4 pairs, wearing a specific pair for three days then onto the next pair! Unfortunately I can't wear
them to work so I put them on as soon as I get home every night. Thank goodness for weekends and holidays!
