SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans

It feels like its stretchy. And further up this chat i think others say its stretchy as well. Definitely at least my 301OD version is. Its not stiff despite it being 19oz....im tempted to try the 633 indigo now too haha
-
I’d say this is great news for anyone that’s looking to get the CPO with this denim. Pure speculation on my behalf though.

@dugafola Dealing with the same dilemma sizing wise. Hopefully we find out how they stretch.
-
Quick follow up on the 633s - I like to land in the 36" - 36.5" zone in the waist. The 36s are showing they start at 34.5". The 38s are showing they start at 36.5" Tapping the infinite wisdom of this group - better to hope the 36s stretch to my comfortable range (that's a good inch and a half or two) or better to go with the 38s and keep them in the 36.5" range without as much tension on them and knowing they can shrink and stretch? Also I always wear a belt. I prefer the other measurements of the 36 but could totally do the 38s if I'd be miserable with that starting waist.

@dwils . Self Edge and IH use different measuring methods. Keep that in mind.

Yea but 633 is unique to SE only and they measure flat across like most others
-
@dugafola. No they dont. They dont measure the waist the thigh or the knee the same way that IH measures. I have a sneaky suspicion that the tag 36 that @dwils said it has a 34.5 inch waist( based on the self edge measurements)it will be closer to 36 inches the IH way.

I would say this denim stretches a bit and fast. When i first got it new i recall it measuring 15.5 inches (white tape) or there abouts for a 34 tag. But today its gone past that (yellow tape pic). And I have only worn it out really a few times if that. I honestly reckon maybe less than 5 times on.
-
These look too good to pass up. Feel like I'm winging it with the measurements but if they fit as good as they read, it should work out. The 34's chart are exactly like the 888's I'd wear, just with a slightly lower rise and bigger waist, which is kinda ideal. Didn't really need another pair, but seeing as these are limited, and I have a tax refund to blow....
-
@cyclops good to know! Most of my pairs get about the same, so i've come to expect about 2" rather than the 1". I get why they say that though.
Does anyone have any observations about thigh measurements posted the SE way vs the IH way? I'm estimating the difference to be at least a half inch.
-
-
@yannis yup, I get how they're measured differently. I poorly worded my question. If you were to take a single pair, and measure it using both methods, you're saying the IH way would be about 0.5" larger at least? I tried it with a pair of mine and there's a LOT of taper in that top inch of thigh, which makes the SE method a little wonky to me. I guess I'm biased, When I look at a thigh measurement of 12.25", it makes my junk nervous. I know it's gotta be at least 12.75" (IH method) though, which is definitely noticeable.

-
@yannis that was my guesstimate - here's a hopin'!
OH, i didn't see anywhere, are these sanforized?
-
@WhiskeySandwich yup
-
@cyclops thanks for sharing the pics. That’s helpful.
I told myself my next pair was going to be 14 oz for warmer months but can’t really resist these. And sounds like they breathe and can work in warmer weather anyway.
I’m gonna go for the 36s and hope for solid stretch. My understanding is that the higher rise can allow for a slightly smaller waist because of where it sits. If they’re crazy tight I’ll swap em.
