I bought a pair of Iron Heart 301s from Self Edge and received them yesterday. I thought they were slim fit because Self Edge describes them that way, but after trying them on I think they are really a skinny fit on me. How much will these things loosen up in the thighs and seat? I want them to look like they do on the model on the Self Edge site:http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71&products_id=408 . I can't pull off the emo skinny jeans look even though I am tall. Since wearing them since yesterday I have noticed them loosening in the calves and waist, but this is 21 oz denim, so I'm doubting they'll loosen up as much as normal selvage.

Its gonna take about 3-4 months, and the jeans will strech approx. an extra inch circumference in thighs (say half a size, less so in less snug fitting areas). Gonna shrink some when you wash em, but soon streches back out.

The top block is rather big on the 301-S, so if you feel like sizing up might be to big in the waist, buy a pair of 666s. If I understood it right these are slim fitting as well, but less carrot shaped.

i think if you would post some pics of yourself wearing your pair (just need the bottom-part if you don`t want to show your face or anything!), we could help you a bit more i think!…what ya say?

[Blackheart]

They are loose in the top block stingray, mine were snug when I bought them and about a week later
they stretched so much they were loose in the legs and I needed to wear a belt. Give them time as
Captain said, they'll stretch a lot.
Please post some pics if possible, would love to see how yours fit.

Critique at will.  Again, the real problem I have is they are so tight in the thighs and seat.  They are are size 32.  For comparisons sake, I wear a 32 in APC New Standards and a 32 in N&F Slimguys.  Here you go …

I cross posted to Style Forum as well.

[Finn666]

def. size up one i`d say…

[Seul]

32 in APC equals a 34 in about an hour so… Size up...

[Blackheart]

Size up definitely, those are too tight on you…

[stingray1381]

Is sizing up to a 33 sufficient?

[Blackheart]

Are they hard to zip and button? How tight are they across your hip area?

[stingray1381]

They are in the mail for a store credit.

They were hard to button and skin tight across my hips.

[Beatle]

If I dare say so - these are to small. A size 33 would flow way better

[Captain]

Yeah, size up. Coming from the one with the snuggest jeans on this forum.

If the waist was tight you might size up to a 34 to rid yourself of the emo look you dont want.

If you can walk a stair two steps at a time without feeling constricted, size one up, Otherwise, go +2 sizes-

[stingray1381]

Thanks for all the helpful comments.

[Blackheart]

A 34 might be better for you stingray, the pair you have look really tight…

For me 301's are too baggy in the top box and too tight from knee to cuff. They fit relaxed in the thigh but ultra skinny in the calf. I can't size down and can't size up.
301's cut resembles slightly that of Dior Homme 19cm Brut, but 21 oz denim make them more difficult to wear.
