I'm curious what everyone thinks of the higher rise on the 633. I have far too many pairs of 633 and 634 and love the fit, but I'm on the fence with the new cut. The rise is higher by about 3/4" in my size, which is fine and relatively minor (and I have many pairs of other-brand jeans with a similar rise), but other aspects of the top block feel a bit out of proportion. The fly on the new cut is proportionally longer, for example (distance from fly's bottom bar tack to crotch seam is about 3/8" less compared to my other 633s), which doesn't help and almost makes the rise feel higher than it is. I don't own any 888s but I'm wondering if the top block of the new cut has more in common with that than the existing 633/634 cut.
I will say the new denim is awesome though. Slubby yet not really slubby. Tough yet breathable. It feels like the goldilocks zone of denim!

These were my first 633, and my first (and only so far) IH denim, but I'd been eyeing them off for a while. I was hoping for a slightly slimmer silhouette to be honest, and probably a slightly lower rise. Basically, what the original 633 is described as. I'm still putting these through their paces though. Some days I love the cut, some days I feel like it's just not right for me. It's got me wondering what I should go to next, 888, 633 or maybe 555? I don't have a local retailer to try the various cuts out, and when they drop they don't last long - always feels like a roll of the dice.
I agree the fabric is great, still developing it's evolution, and I'll continue with them as my primary jeans for a few months yet.

I have the 633 OD version and love it. My only comparison is the 555 but I appreciate the higher rise and wider leg. It's more of a medium rise and the waist is tighter but I like it better than my 555.

@cyclops said in SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans:
@dugafola i think @kiya previously said the next iteration of this was coming out soon. Sorry @kiya any news of this or timings? Im selfishly also wanting to know more
Next "iteration"? Are we getting additional models in this denim?
-
@wordfool i thought i read somewhere that they were doing another colab similar to this but releasing near end of Jan into feb.

@ManiacLachy hey you are in Oz right? I know the feeling! Bit of gamble when ordering stuff like this and with the aussie dollar being weaker. Did you end up getting much stretch in the waist?
-
@cyclops yeah, I'm in Brisbane, online ordering is always a bit of a gamble, you definitely need to have faith and trust in the merchant's measurements and advice. IH do this really well and set a very high bar for anyone else. Melbourne and Sydney have a few retailers who I've bought from in person before and I really appreciate trying an item on when I can.
I'm pretty sure there's some stretch, they've loosened and I like to tell myself I've dropped a little weight. I'll give them a measure tomorrow and see where they're at now.

@ManiacLachy thanks heaps man! I just ordered the 301 in OD last night so hopefully it turns out ok. Fingers crossed! Yeah i think this last year i have been sending stuff back around the world making Aust Post wealthy in the process. Its a bit sad this addiction ha ha.
Anyhow thanks heaps for measuring!
