Spot on. You have to feel it.

Thanks guys! I'm every-day-nig it with these and after three months am going to swim in the ocean in them. Will update when I do.
Can someone explain what the fit difference is between these and the 555-01? They seem nearly identical according to the measurements. It's just a matter of the taper?

It works magic for fading. If you haven't dont it yet you should and then you'll know what I mean.

Sorry, it does nothing for fading. Wearing and washing is what causes fading. If you go into the sea with a filthy pair of jeans, then they will look cleaner and more worn and with more wear and with more contrast when you get out….But is easier (but maybe not so much fun, so), to substitute a washing machine for the ocean.....

It's the very first myth 'busted'. -

Yikes didnt know I was stepping into a landmine. It's more of a spiritual experience for me. I was being somewhat facetious with my comment so I apologize. I didn't mean to suggest it as a universal truth. In my experience there is a perceived difference in the feel of my jeans from salt water. That's all. Nature baby!

^ good point Mike;
from kiya today on sufu: "the 301s is coming out in a super small run of the [634s-SEXIH13] denim in three weeks"
these will be epic

I've been trying to get Mrs. Bluegrass into some IH - she was in NY on business this week, went to SENY, and tried them all - and she scored, after much deliberation, some 301s…
She is complaining a bit about the weight and stiffness, but I think she's going to bear with it and I suspect they will become her favorites… All her other jeans are like tissue paper in comparison.
She also bought a pair of 3Sixteens (for her), and a Johnny Cash shirt and their last pair of Roy Ducks (for me)..... Fuck, I'm poor.
I have to give big props to Thomas at SENY for staying open late and helping her with the fit - she got in to LaGuardia later than expected, but Thomas kept the store open and was totally cool. And Andrew wrapped up the sale and hemmed everything for her the next day. I am really appreciative, BIG PROPS to SENY.

@bluegrass Thomas is such a great dude!

Thanks guys, it is cool to see her in some nice jeans. she's a little worried they will be too tight after a wash, but I assured her they will stretch out some and get more comfortable the more she wears them… also i was looking at the pic again and she has some nice combs working behind the knees after just a couple of hours!
have fun jumping into the sea…hmmm the 301 makes me weak all the time...Ill give me another month to think about it
