IH-633S - Self Edge x Iron Heart 21oz Selvedge Straight Tapered

@sabergirl That’s correct. Yeah, seems to be the case.
-
@Anesthetist thanks man! Those are looking unreal.

@Plant-Life i don’t know if things have changed but it used to be the case that no other retailer in the world was as precise or as organised as IHUK with regards to measurements. While SE is a great store they did not have a great rep regarding that aspect of things.
Also @sabergirl is bang on. Measurements can never tell the whole story. Even one differing measurement is going to skew all the others as you need to take account for what happens between the points measured. The different tag size combined with the points I mentioned is going to give you a different fit, no doubt.

I reworded this to make it in present tense, because I think that it holds true today.

Howdy y’all. Looking for rise some feedback please. I recently picked up a pair of 21oz 633s. For the last few years, I’ve stuck to buying jeans with a medium-high rise. Usually in the 11.5inch range for front rise, and 15 inch back rise give or take. This is where I feel most comfortable. I rolled the dice a little bit with the 633 and as I wasn’t able to get a specific pair from SE, I ended up receiving a pair with 10.75 inch FR and 14.5 inch BR.
Having worn them a little bit, I’m aware of the rise being a little lower than I’m accustomed to, front and back. But as I’m to used to a medium-high rise, I’m struggling to figure out how I feel about this 10.75/14.5 inch rise and whether it works. Generally, I think it’s a good fit overall - love the thigh and slight taper. If they were definitely too low a rise I’m sure I would’ve sent them back immediately. I’ve tried pairs where that was definitely the case.
Just looking for feedback as to whether you think these look in the range of “ok” and that they’ll work out. Won’t be seeking out 10.5 inch rises specifically in the future though.
Here’s my PBJ-019 which has a 11.5/15 rise which I feel very comfortable in.

Look great to me. I understand the scepticism/discomfort that comes with moving outside of your subjective comfort zone, but you’re golden here. Relax and enjoy.
Also, the only objective problem with a low rise is the risk of plumbers crack. Find a good friend, then bend, crouch and squat a lot in front of them. If there’s a problem you will be told
-
@neph93 appreciate the insight, man! I think I’m in agreement. There’s not a ton of clearance but I think the crack is safe haha.
-
@americanathreads when I got mine I was worried about this also. The 21oz definitely relaxes a ton. I hadn’t worn mine in a while and it was like putting sweatpants on.
-
@ZackB yeah it’s super soft off the bat. I’m sure it’ll be very comfy after a while. Do you mean it relaxed and you got a bit of stretch in the rise?
-
@americanathreads not stretch on the rise but the back doesn’t flare out as much when it relaxes.
