Samurai Jeans

[neph93]

It’s an «issue» for some, others love it and actively seek it out.

If both edges twisted  either towards the front or back it might be another story. I know that isn't possible but whatever… just saying.

The fabric on the SExIH 21oz LHT Grey Weft (SelfEdge/Iron Heart collab) is also loomstate IIRC ("raw") and left hand twill and I got a very noticeable amount of leg twist on them after the first soak.

Yeah, that one was pretty intense.

@BD81:

Cool. Thanks. I will keep that in mind for the next pair. It actually doesn't bother me like it did at first. I think it looks kind of cool now. I would like to avoid it in the future though.

Pretty serendipitious but Haraki-san just posted this on his IG. It shows the 19oz LHT (washed, unsanforised), the 21oz (fully sanforised), the UHR (loomstate) and the XHS 25oz (lightly sanforised, no wash).

All pairs have been heavily worn and washed (I believe by H himself). You clearly can see which jeans display leg twist and how much.

Fit pics from august before initial soak. Pardon the bad quality.

[BD81]

For some reason that is the only pic i am able to upload?

[BD81]

Mine is about the same but opposite leg

[BD81]

Sorry for all the posts, I have been trying to upload my original fit fics pre soak…apparantly there is a problem with my upload. Here are a few from today at 5 months, 1 hot soak, 0 washes.

Get a pair of IH-666-XHS. You'll have a similar fit, some kick ass denim that wears in beautifully, better construction all over, and never have to worry about leg twist.

[BD81]

I think the 666 will be too snug in the thigh. I have actually had my eye on the 888 for a while now. I love the fit of these 510s except i find the leg opening a touch wide.

[neph93]

888 is a very versatile cut. After a lot of experimenting and a couple of wrong moves it has become “my cut”.

[BD81]

Nice! Did you go TTS ?

[neph93]

I size down one. The waist sits high and I’m narrower there. The thigh is generous enough for it not to be a problem.

I am waiting for my pre-ordered s710xx 19oz from denimio, can't wait
