SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans

[dwils]

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

[yannis]

@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.

@yannis and @dugafola thank you both for the input. Much appreciated. I remember reading that they measure differently. Gonna look into this and keep in mind before I pull the trigger ...

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 32 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....

[WhiskeySandwich]

@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]

@WhiskeySandwich. Self Edge measures the thigh an inch down from the crotch vs IH measures at the crotch seem. I will say the difference is at list 0.5 of an inch in a flat measurement or one inch in circumference and that can make a big difference.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@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]

@WhiskeySandwich. I believe that a 12.25 Self Edge measument will be 12.75 to 13 the Iron Heart way.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@yannis that was my guesstimate - here's a hopin'!

OH, i didn't see anywhere, are these sanforized?

[Gavin666]

@WhiskeySandwich yup
