SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans
-
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.

@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

Setting those cuffs...

@caithangkhanh no i don’t

Anyone know if the OD denim will stretch the same amount as the regular indigo? Thanks!
-
@djsazon I have a pair of 555 21OZ OD and the non OD version of the same jeans,and the amount of stretch I get out of both is pretty close,maybe slightly less with the OD version,but its negligible. Having said that if the non OD version of your jeans isn’t prone to stretching, I wouldn’t think that the OD version would be prone to stretching. Without that information it’s hard to answer your question. The 21OZ Flagship denim is known for being stretchy. I don’t know if this 19OZ denim has the same attribute. All this probably isn’t helpful.

@Jett129 That was helpful ! Thanks!

Double OD! 301OD under the SEXPOOD. Shirt has a few more days of wear than the jeans.
-
@djsazon it is a pliable fabric. If you push it, it will stretch.

Ready for my first Indigo Invitatioal with these 633! I had some extra denim from getting them hemmed, so I made a little DIY phone case with the extra denim. I’m no expert by any means, so hopefully it stays together. I’ll be using it once the competition starts. I think the phone case will get a bit more wear and tear, so it’ll be nice to see how it fades compared to the jeans.

I just snagged a pair of the 633 in indigo. I really like this denim. It stretches and drapes nice and quick. I especially like that it’s not very hairy…even the indigo. It’s incredibly breathable for 19oz. I’ve worn my OD all summer now and happy to see the new direct-dye shedding quicker compared to my sulphur dyed SBRs . The ODs have been my daily drivers and that’s largely because of the fit. On me these are slightly more relaxed (than my other pairs) as I sized up on these due to the narrower waist. The higher rise in combination with wider dimensions through the leg, works for me
because of 633’s progressive taper from knee down. I think I am preferring this to the 888 cut….although it is very similar (for me). @kiya, any chance you’ll keep this updated higher rise to the 633 cut on future releases? -

I was definitely wondering about the rate at which the new direct dye fades. Awesome that you wore yours all summer. Would love to see photos!

@Oaktavia, I know you know how difficult it is to photograph OD. This morning we caught some flat light so I took the opportunity to start on my indigos.
Worn these 50% of the time last two months:

@Boit oh yes, and I agree with using flat light from an overcast outdoors. The pocket photo looks awesome dude, the blue arcs in particular. Going to keep it up 50% with these?
