IH-301S

[madmonday]

looks like a comfortable fit from this angle.

They are comfortable.  They could use an inch in the thigh but that will come.  I need to experiment with wearing them cuffed vs. uncuffed and all that stuff though

[derivative666]

Looking good Barun. Are you happy with them?

[barun]

very, thanks a lot

[derivative666]

My pleasure

I was just inspecting the details on these jeans and needless to say, they are pretty cool.  The stitching is way thicker that the other pairs of IH's that I have.  Does anyone know if there is a reason that they don't show the selvedge seam on the inside seam?  Maybe they made these out of left over material?

[jacoavlu]

it has to do with the tapered slim cut
with such a taper you cannot preserve the selvage line

[madmonday]

which i bought before, than they came out with the 666s that are selvedge through & through & are pretty slim.

it's crazy insane . . .

[jacoavlu]

well I think the cut of the 301s tapers to the hem on both sides of the leg (medial and lateral)
whereas maybe the 666 achieves the slim leg only with the taper on the inner (medial) aspect

[madmonday]

i see said the blind monday.  G$ don't worry, after the thing with finn no question from me for a week.

word to jiminy cricket. . . unless you put up new product, hahahahahahahaha

[jacoavlu]

of course I am not sure
I know nothing of tailoring etc
but it would seem to make sense
that if the cut of the leg is not straight along the outer seam
but rather curved (as with a taper)
then you could not maintain the selvage line
which itself is straight

[madmonday]

eh, you think too much jaco.

have a beer, there seams too be truth in your way of looking at it

get it seams.  . .

[madmonday]

get it seams, & i forgot my angry face again

301s are really loved in some circles.  wonder if the 666s are seen as the heir or just another slim cut?

just rhetorical, no need to answer anyone & besides slim jeans aren't really my thing

The 301S was originally conceived as a non selvedge jean.  The same silhouette could be achieved to show the selvedge line, but it would be a radical redesign.  I originally thought it was due to the taper, but learnt otherswise when I was designing the Devils's Fit with Tom and Haraki….

^great infos right there…so this would/could/should also be a new type of jean which IH will come out with one day!

so i got you all confused or have you used all your power on typing, dealing with me?

[madmonday]

G$ you are a glutton for punishment.

why would it be a radical redesign to show the selvedge line on the 301s?

was jaco correct in his summation of why the selvedge line is not shown on the 301s?

okay don't answer any of that. wait a week since i said no questions, hahahhahahhahahaaha.

for real & besides i would rather see a picture of some jeans

Because Haraki said it would be.  That's all I need to know.

It is possible to get a selvedge line on a tapered jean, but the fundamental design needs to be changed.
