IH-301S

[rmc]

Question about sizing…so my worn F380's measure 18" across the waist....should I purchase a size 34 and let it stretch 2 inches or get a size 36.  Note that I have an athletic lower half, and would like to slightly sag a little more than my f380's allow. Also, i know these are slim jeans, but i dont want them skin tight.  Really wish they made size 35....wat da ya think?

check thigh measurements. might help making a decision. not always is the waist alone the answer

also the 301s are realtively tight around the ankle…..

thnx for the help. so i was luckily able to actually try on my friends pair of month old 301s tday, and loved the knee down fit…my calves had just enough room. problem was i was experiencing some hip flare...does ih denim sit a lot better on the waist over time?

[cowsareforeating]

sorry would you please define hip flare? im not sure i quite understand. are you referring to how the hip thigh area drapes?  IMO a new pair of 301's if you hot soak and hang dry and if you wear them when slightly damp will provide an ungodly (in the good way) fit. no problems with hip area bulging out or anything like that

zero hip flare

fiuhh, finally i have the 301S. hot enough if you wear it in Indonesia.

is selfedge the only stockist for the 301sBK?

i have been trying for months to get a pair of them but they NEVER have them in my size. Are you guys expecting to do another run of the 301bks? I know theres a ton of new cuts coming out and this might be pushed to the backburner

[Giles]

SE are the only place that sell them.  We make them when Kiya requests…..........

[zubin]

ahhh i see

gonna have to bug kiya next time im in the city

Just became the proud owner of some 301s. This is my first IH denim experience. I'm freaking amazed at the quality of these jeans. They are tight but contour perfectly. What is the consensus on the inseam shrinkage? I need to get them hemmed a few inches. I was wondering if I should soak them to get some shrinkage out of the way before I send them off to be chainstitched.

[elclintor]

those are sanforized so shrinkage should be minimal..

[cristeza]

Awesome. Yeah, the product description on self edge says that they will shrink .5" in length.

Question to you who own both 301's and Flatheads BSP's: Which one has higher rise? Rear rise preferably?

[gazeboarder]

I measure close to a 2 inch difference between the IH 301 and the FH BSP.  My IH301 size 36 measure about 16 inches (rear rise).  The Flat Heads size 36 measure 14 inches.  The BSP's have a much tighter upper block.  I would also say my 301's have stretched more than my BSP's.  Both jeans are great.

They got a good washing after all the work was done
