IH-301S

Bummer. Thanks for the info. My 301 size 29 is perfect. I just ordered the 777 in 29 and 30. 29 is too tight. 30 is a bit too big. I guess I have to choose weather I’m going to roll the dice on hoping that the 777 29 stretch or hot soak the 777 30 and hope the shrink up a bit.

I don’t have experience with the 777 cut but they should stretch

Which denim are we talking about in the 777? If it is 21oz they will stretch a decent amount, but will not shrink at all.

I’ve got the 777s 21oz. I’ve got a skinny waist and beefy thighs and like a snug fit. The waist is perfect on the 29 but the thighs are super tight. The waist on the 30 is too big and the top block is a little roomy but the thighs are perfectly snug. Wondering if the thighs of the 29 will ever loosen up. I had the 555-03 in a size too small to get the waist to fit and the thighs never stretched out so I had to get rid of them. I could totally make the 777 size 30 work. I just have to tighten up the belt a little so they stay up.

Pop a request into shop@ironheart.co.uk and see if the boys can find you 29 with larger thighs or a 30 with smaller thighs than the measurements published….

Wow. Didn’t think that was a possibility. Thanks for the responses and the advise. I’ll reach out to them.

Thanks to [mention]neph93 [/mention]tipping me off on [mention]mstrsnkr [/mention] having a fantastically faded, but in great condition pair of 301s for sale, I jumped on and took a risk on the size down from what I have been wearing as of late..
The shorter inseam paired with plenty of apparent washed have left these fitting pretty slim, but not very restricting after about 10 minutes of wear. Once I shed a little more weight, these should be glorious options for spring [emoji869]

I dug up these old snaps from 2016 (?) when I wore my IH-301S to Iceland! They were perfect for the trip. We got there just as much of Iceland was opening up following the winter months. Miss these jeans and my hair…

Awesome. I'd love to ge able to go there.

It's a beautiful place, @Filthy. Very interesting culture and lovely hot springs.

Hi! Recently, by chance, I became the owner of practically new IH-301S, and was very surprised when I found that they do not have selvedge on the inside seam of the pant leg, but in other places it is present, I know that there is a part of the 301S with selvedge. for example, which were sold in the Self Edge store, I want to know more about this, since it turns out that these 301Ss, which I got, are of a very old release, and just lay somewhere for a very long time , can anyone share information ..?!

The 301S was the first tapered cut offered by IH and was exclusive to Self Edge stores in the US. To achieve the taper Haraki-san felt the simplest method was to cut the taper into the outside hem. This removed the selfedge ID.
When they went on sale many «denimheads» reacted negatively to the lack of the selfedge ID. As a result Haraki-san was asked to find a way to make the jean which retained the selfedge ID. He did so, and later runs have it.
It sounds like your pair is deadstock from the first run. A very rare piece of IH history. I’d love to hear more about where and how you got them.

@neph93 – Yup, my IH-301S also had the selvedge ID cut off. I happened to snag them in May of 2011 from SESF. Would love to see some pics of your new-to-you jeans, @escanderA!
