Fit pics and measurements as requested by Shoreman

Measurements:
Inseam - un-hemmed 36
LO - 7.5
Knee - 7.75
Thigh - 11.25
Waist Flat - 31.5
Waist Stretched - 32

Opinion:
Love the top block fit the rise is perfect for me, not to high not to low. The main issue I have w/ these jeans is that there a little too tight on the calve area, and the diaper ass effect I have going on.

Ill grab some outside pics on a better day.

You want me to be honest (gonna be honest anyway): that is a fucking BRILLIANT look… I know it won't change your mind on the fit but these pics will have me looking into these jeans again... Always thought they were too slim and too tapered... The stacks on these are GLORIOUS...

I also look at these every so often, partly because of the price, but mostly because of the fit. Sometimes I look down at my 666 and think the calves and leg openings are too billowy. These would look great w/ a pair of blucher mocs and an overly complicated belt buckle.

You've just sold me on a pair of 301s and proved to me that the model on SE does absolutely nothing for this cut. That's exactly what I am looking for, slim but a little relaxed in certain areas. I think I'd go for a hem, but not too much.

To be honest most IH fits on SE are really poor…

Onairda, perfect fit!!

Hey thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

Shoreman, If you want I can take some pics of the Beatle Busters you sold me for a side by side. Also these are def. the tightest jeans around the knee area for me, so the combs really pull in tight behind your knees when your sitting down. It takes awhile to get used to especially when the denim is stiff.

But yeah, these have not seen much action lately. I've been trying to get more into the fuller cuts. I thinks since I've been breaking in my busters my opinions have changed. I flip flop on denim cuts all the time, as long as there not skin tight or sagging off my ass.

Yeah, that'd be cool. I'd like to see how they fit on someone else.

Matt

I don't think it helps that that SE model looks to have sized down about 4 sizes… Those look painted on. These look great, maybe I need to go w/ the OD version of these instead of the 666 to solve my problem w/ sizing.

I can see how with 21oz denim, though, the bunching up around the knees can be uncomfortable. Damn decisions.

thats sidney lo on self edge he's a thin guy
there are loads of fit pics of these in the IH sufu thread probably more than any other cut
esp back a few years when they first came out

Yeah, I've gone through those as well and it appears like a lot of people have that skin-tight fit.

jacoavlu

most jeans are sized based on the waist and/or thigh but the 301s is such a strong taper that the lower leg can really make or break this one, it's tough to size up because the top gets baggy, on some the cut is perfect, others it just doesn't work

Matt

It stinks that I'm not close enough to a SE to go and try a few pairs on. It would hurt to pull the trigger and not be able to return them if I get them hemmed. I have some tough decisions ahead of me. I would meditate on it, but it hurts my back.

jacoavlu

you can buy them unhemmed and return if they don't fit for store credit (less shipping)
or send them back for hemming if you do like them
sure you pay extra shipping two ways but small price to pay, given the risk of getting stuck with hemmed jeans that don't fit

IMO one of the best fitting 301s i`ve seen till today. great…not too tight and not too loos...just great!

I just got my 301-S from self edge, the guy there said it will stretch but for now it feels tight around the waist. Should i size up one more? I got a 29 and im 29-30 in APC New Cure, 29 in Petite Standards and 30 in Nudies Thin Finn.

Blackheart

No, don't size up demi…Mine are a 33 waist and now they're a 34 1/2, that's how much they stretched!

First, welcome. No, do not size up. The waist will stretch out. The "guy" at SE is right. He does this all day every day. And by no means am I a skin tight jeans guy. Just my opinion on the help you received from SE. Now if you were at tate & yoko, who knows. They may have to call SE. (That was a joke)
