SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans
-
@cyclops The knee and calf are a little looser, which is not where I'd want looseness, personally. The hem is a the same. compared to the 888.
I haven't started a new pair for a long time either tho, so the awkwardness of pre-creasing is there and they feel like dad-jeans. So maybe i just need to break them in. -
@WhiskeySandwich hmmm interesting. I was going to try the 633 next but i wasnt sure..i almost want the 888 cut but just less rise in front...
-
@cyclops i dont want to deter you from trying them. i just wanted to share my experience. the front rise is nearly the same as the 888. 888 just seems to fit my body type better, but i haven't worn the 633 yet other than a fit check, its not really representative of how they'll be after conforming to my body. Maybe they'll be better! idk yet tho

A warp and weft comparison of this denim vs the 18oz vintage. Not as close as I thought. This 19oz has a lot more slub and texture, especially the weft. The weft is lighter and the 19oz seems a bit lower tension weave. The weft seems heavier on this denim.
-
They kinda stretched back out, but the looser fit may be growing on me. Gonna give them a chance.

@WhiskeySandwich lookin good to me. Maybe you’ll love em. And thanks for sharing those comparison photos. Cool to see. I’ve been circling these for a few weeks now. They just seem awesome and unique.
-
@WhiskeySandwich they look great man, I would definitely wear them if I were you.

Thanks dudes, I do admit they’re a bit more comfortable than a slim 888. They’ll be in the rotation and I look forward to some progress on em
-
@WhiskeySandwich that doesn’t look like a looser fit to me, just a perfect fit
-
The looser fit has taken me some time to adjust to, I tend to like my jeans slim but not tight, and these felt super loose on me to begin with. But as they've broken in and I become used to being in them, they've felt normal. I'd still like a little more taper to the ankle, anything 8" or over just feels like they swallow my feet - I'm not often in boots.
I went back to my PBJ-019 SLBs (not a wholly dissimilar fabric, but quite a different cut) on the weekend, and they now feel quite slim and I now appreciate both looks a little more evenly.

@ManiacLachy I couldn’t agree more!

okay, these jeans are awesome. quickly becoming my favorite pair of the moment. They're super comfortable - I went with a double cuff and got everything set with @Oaktavia 's water sprayer trick. This seemed to work different than my usual wear-damp method because it targets scrunched spots rather than stretched spots to keep from getting saggy butt and knees because they've been thru the dryer and I want to minimize stretch. I think they feel looser than they look, which works out. The fabric is super special, I love the texture, weight is perfect, and they're super breathable. I've only worn them 3 full days and they're nice and broken in and I'm already surprised to see baby fades. Gonna rotate these with the 142od for a while and try to fast track both of them.

@WhiskeySandwich that’s awesome. Isn’t it nice when a pair we were anxious about turn out great?
I have a pair of these on the way.
Stoked to rock em all summer. -
@WhiskeySandwich hell yeah man the spray is the way. I also find that when I have a pair that is a size too large, they don't always look that way in the mirror. I recently had a similar thing happen with a pair of 16oz Pronto x IH slubby. A little big in the waist bit chill everywhere else. Beats too tight every time.
-
@Oaktavia absolutely. Every time i start a new pair, i forget about the awkward phase you go thru at first before they really mold to your body. Even when snug, they always feel/look loose in the wrong spots till the creases fill in those spots. it's like the 'dad jean phase'.
-
@WhiskeySandwich yup totally with you on that. Plus, I feel like we have such high expectations with each pair, it is easy to hear that voice in your head saying they look weird at first.
