SEXIH25 = Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Jeans

@ManiacLachy it’s not that bad. I’m keeping the other pair because I like them too. My trick is to throw them in “THE DRYER!!” lol. But not throw them in wet. My dryer has a setting for “steam fresh” and it steam spins the clothes. By doing so it removes the stretch in denim.

I picked up a pair of the 633 OD in early August and just started wearing them yesterday. These are really great. The denim is so interesting. I was surprised at how little mine actually taper. I got to try them on so I knew already but the website measurements are about .75" smaller at the leg opening then on my actual pair. I am actually pretty happy with this as I prefer the larger opening. I took my normal 36" and they were tighter at the waist than my 555 but have already stretched enough after a day.

I've completed my hot soak and wash, with a line dry. Measurements below.
(I measure both "traditional" and IHUK waist styles, and the various thigh measurements that go around, so they can better/easier be compared to the various methods different retailers use.)
As received, SExIH25 633 Indigo Tag Size 36
Waist (IH): 18.25"
Waist (SE): 18"
Front Rise: 12.5"
Rear Rise: 16"
Thigh (at crotch): 13.5"
Thigh 1": 13.25
Thigh 2": 13
Knee (13"): 9.75
Hem: 8.5
Inseam: 36.4Post hot soak and wash (40C):
Waist (IH): 18.1" (-0.15)
Waist (SE): 17.9" (-0.1)
Front Rise: 12.2" (-0.3)
Rear Rise: 16" (no change)
Thigh (at crotch): 13.1" (-0.4)
Thigh 1": 13" (-0.25)
Thigh 2": 12.5 (-0.5)
Knee (13"): 9.5 (-0.25)
Hem: 8.3 (-0.2)
Inseam: 35.75 (-0.65)Some change, but modest, which is what you'd expect from a pre-washed garment. I was hoping for a little more from the waist. I'm surprised by the changes at the thigh the most, I measured twice to confirm. It'll be interesting to see how the jeans stretch over a few months of initial wear.

@Boit this is super awesome to see these different ODs all lined up together. Seeing the differences like this really changes my perspective of how different they all are. What is the bottom pair, second to left in the last two photos?

@Dmart absolutely. First pick is some Iron Rangers. Second is some Wesco Mister Lou’s, done up in green horsehide via a collab with The Shop Vancouver.

Just wanted to post an update on this beautiful denim. I’ve been wearing the 633 everyday for a little over a month for Indigo Invitational. I’ve been wearing the CPO very sparingly for about two months since it hasn’t really been cold in Southern California. I started using the cell phone case the same time I started wearing the jeans.
