SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans

[MTpockets]

I'm pretty good at math, but this SE vs IH measurement process chatter has me all twisted. Here's what I'm hoping someone can tell me - if SE says the waist is 38.5" in the 633, what does that translate to if IH was to measure the same pair? A larger measurement? By how much?

Next question - for the thigh and knee - same sort of deal? IH would be a larger measurement?

Appreciate the assist!

@MTpockets. I can tell you with certainty that the thigh will be larger with IH measurement. Just get a pair of your own jeans and measure both ways and you will see the difference. I use to remember but not anymore the waist difference..

Thanks @yannis - I was hoping someone would know without having to measure. Although to be sure I would obviously need to get off my arse.

@MTpockets I just grabbed a pair and measured both ways and the IH measurement is .5" larger laid flat. These were IH 633OD 18oz 38s and they were 19" waist using the SE method and 19.5" (maybe a touch under) using the IH method. So doubled it'd be closer to 1 inch larger, actually. That's what I found. This aligns with what some others have been saying and what @Gavin666 seems to have found in his as well.

I'd also recommend looking both up and comparing to what you have at home - that's what I'm doing before I go for the indigos and it's tell me I can go with the 36

@Gavin666 they look great BTW!

@dwils - Nice! I got my eye on the 38.5 - which should get me close to 39.5 - which is what I need (in that range anyway).

Do we expect this denim to stretch an inch and shrink an inch similar to the 25 XHS?

[yannis]

@MTpockets. I think this denim is sanforized and washed so I don't think you will get much shrinkage. You will definitely get some stretching.

[Gavin666]

@MTpockets basically if SE was it measures 17” IH way will be c17.5”. If SE thigh is 12” then thigh IH way will be c12.5”

@Gavin666 we have the same pair! I love the copper rivets popping! And so nice to wear!

@Duffputter
633, sorry for the late reply

[Gavin666]

Anyone had any shrinkage after washing in the inseam?

[yannis]

@Gavin666. Is yours on OD? Looks like it is from the picture above. If yes you will get no shrinkage. If not if you wash with cold water and air dry you will probably get no shrinkage either. If you wash hot and thrown in the dryer( not recommended) you might get some
