IH-301S

I don’t quite agree, for many people selvedge hem, which is visible on the cuffs of the legs, is an essential attribute of correct jeans, such a fetish, it’s more than just clothes, it’s a lifestyle ..!
Each to their own. But it isn’t important to Haraki-san.

Don’t worry, I don’t think he is going to stop making 100% cotton selvedge. Although the new stretch denim is selvedge too, of course.
Yes, I noticed that many famous brands, like PURE BLUE JAPAN, started using different synthetic threads, when the weather is cool, it is still tolerable, but when it's hot, then it's already a problem ..!?!

Can anyone that’s owns the 301S & the 8301S comment on how they fit in comparison to each other? Love my 8301S, but the 301S looks to be a smidge narrower?

Well, I went ahead and picked up the 301S in the same size as my 8301S (33), and they are a little more snug. Not bad as I can still fit, but they are definitely tighter in the thigh. Everything else seems to be identical (waist, knee, leg opening). I have worn them a handful of times & I can tell they are starting to loose up.
I figured I’d put that down, in case anyone else was in the same predicament as I was!

@an_apple_soda - hey bud, sorry we missed the alert when you first commented a few weeks ago.
You are correct, the 8301s has traditionally been cut larger than the typical 301s. However, the SBG fabric will shrink a bit with a first wash, and stretch a bit less than the typical 21oz, so in theory after a few washes and the same amount of wears, they would "end up" being similar in size.
I hope you enjoy both pairs!

Hey, no worries, and that’s some good info!
Yes, I love them both! It took me awhile to find a pair of 301S in my size that had not been worn much or faded already. They are the perfect amount of slim, but straight enough where I can still get them over my cowboy boots.

@an_apple_soda - amen to that. Exactly the reason I have had at least one variant of 301s in my rotation for the last 6 years lol
-
For all of you guys and gals familiar with this cut is it similar to the 777's.
-
Thank you sir!

A few shots after the most recent soak. Have had these 9 yrs or so and were in rotation 2015-17, but still like old friends when I break them out.

New to me 301S 21 oz, perfect riding jeans.
