SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans

[Oaktavia]

My 633 indigo arrived today. It is a nice cut, this is my first time trying it out. The denim is wonderful and dark. Soft (yet rough?) and heavy hand feel. Falls right in line with the IH lineup of denim already established. I prefer this one to the 16oz slub just because it's thicker. Heavyweight slub is where it's at. These will be on ice for quite some time. I plan on wearing my XHSib and UHR until they are properly faded. Plus, I have another pair that is ahead of this one.

Does this denim warrant a nickname? The Heavy Slub? Or is it going to be simply referred to the 25 SE collab or something similar?

@Oaktavia Thanks for your impressions of the denim! It sounds every bit as awesome as promised.

Did you order your regular IH jeans size? How do the measurements stack up? I always find it hard to reconcile the SE measurements to what I expect, and clearly I'm not the only one.

I've ordered a pair of the indigo 633, but it'll be about a week and half before they complete their trek to the other side of the globe.

Congrats Self Edge and Iron Heart on such a great collab!

I’m really digging these 633ODs in the SEXIH25 Slubby Vintage 19oz denim. Very fantastic!

Good call with the longer pocket bags and higher waist. Having the extra room in both of those dimensions makes for a much more comfortable fit…I think these are pretty comparable to the 888 cut for me…but somehow different/better/more comfortable. Maybe a combination of sizing up and the longer bags?

Currently planning on sending these back to Self Edge to get hemmed:

@kiya, What size are you sporting in these?

[Boit]

I’m in awe of what I can comfortably conceal in these front pockets:

@Boit in this jean, Kiya told me he wears a 36 (indigo); he normally wears a 33.

I'm sure he can share more, but this was an easy enough thing to answer so I thought I'd let you know!

[Boit]

@deadendpro Thanks for reminding me that. I do recall Kiya saying that somewhere here. I'm having trouble keeping track of where what was said in the three threads.

[Toofy]

@kiya - can you comment on how many inches of stretch max we should expect on this denim in the waist? Im in-between awk size (size 37). May go down to 36 if these have quite a bit of stretch like the signature 21oz. Thanks

[Oaktavia]

@ManiacLachy I ordered my regular size but YMMV.

@kiya how's the stretch been in the waist for the pair you've been wearing? OD or indigo? Thanks,

Been wearing the indigo, sized up 2 sizes from the size I should be wearing to achieve a loose and wide fit. So I've gotten no waist stretching due to the waist being so big on me and wearing them with a belt. Will wait another week or so before I snap some photos of the 2 month mark of wearing them.

After over a month of wear there's already some nice indigo hues coming through, just gave them a wash at the 6 week mark and they're currently drying.
We'll have tons of photos, specs, and measurements up on our site in less than a week.

My fit pic days are long behind me, but I went with my usual size in these after trying my usual size and a size up at SENY. Think that was the right call.

These are my first pair in the 633 cut. I like it a lot. Having a bigger rise than most cuts is important. The 888s are fairly similar but I always got hip flare & slightly baggy thighs, which is a reflection of my body type - I think they look better on other people than they ever did on me.

The 633s fit me better in the thighs. TTS means the waist is fairly tight right now (top button is no problem though) as they new but I am assuming they will stretch an inch or so in which case I will be ok. Of all the IH denims I have owned over the years, they basically all stretched except for the LHT which I think were unique. After a day I can feel them giving somewhat.

One size up felt more comfortable off the bat but looked a little sloppy on me. Hopefully it all works out. The denim is really cool, and I love the indigo arcs, dark W etc. Nice job IH and Kiya.

@babyknight thank you for your input, follows my thoughts/hopes exactly. I can't wait for them to arrive.

In the sunshine

[fuzzybunnies]

@Oaktavia is that CPO the OD or Indigo? If OD, mine looked significantly different

[Oaktavia]

@fuzzybunnies it's the OD CPO. Photo was taken in bright sunlight.

My impatience got the best of me yesterday,
walked these into Blue Owl Workshop and had them chop and chainstitch the hem. ha

[Cents or Non Cents]

Setting those cuffs...

[babyknight]

In case useful for anyone looking into these nice jeans, the waist has stretched about 1.3 inches after 5 days. I have the non-OD.

[caithangkhanh]

@babyknight thanks for the info. Do you wear a belt?

[babyknight]

@caithangkhanh no i don’t
