Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s

[Anesthetist]

Well, so far some light neon blues are peaking through mine but only time will tell.

[Broark]

I've noticed some neon peaking through too on my 633s.
Really like the denim, getting my pair hemmed in the next couple of days finally.

How do you guys feel about the half arcs? It makes sense for the SE/Flat Head collaborations, since the standard "F" embroidery doesn't look so hot (imagine a Siamese fighting fish with poop trailing from its rear), but I definitely prefer the standard IH back pocket design. I was on the fence with these, but I think it's a deal breaker for me.

You could always remove it and have a blank pocket.  Should only take about 10-15 minutes with a stitch ripper.  It would be a shame to write off a great pair of jeans over something this simple.

By the way, I like the half arc.

For sure; a little surgery could do the trick. I'll have to trust my hands with a poking/cutting implement and $400 jeans though haha. Thank you for the input!

Even if you totally spazzed-out, I'm pretty sure a seam-ripper couldn't put much of a dent in Iron Heart!

[xtcclassic]

I removed the arcs on my SEXIHXLSXA13's. It's easy to do, and would be hard to screw up.

I wanna see some eve guys!

[Anesthetist]

I'll try to take some pics of the very modest wear on mine tomorrow. Don't have high hopes though, I'm probably the slowest fader on the forums!

^I think we're pretty close. Brothers in slow fadezzz

[Anesthetist]

Incoming disappointing fade footage! As you can see they are still very dark, but some high contrast blues are popping up.

[Appfaff]

That blue is crazy up close!

Can anyone tell me the experience you had with the insesm shrinkage post soak. Approximately how much did you lose ?

[thompsoa]

I just got my pair and I took pre-soak measurements, I'll be soaking them tonight and letting them dry overnight, so I'll post the before and after tomorrow

[DanielAFC]

I lost exactly 2 inches after two soaks. 1.5 after the first, the rest after the second.

[Anesthetist]

I will try to check mine tonight. Also beware of the thigh measurements Tat, especially is you are doing a lot of leg workouts.

[tatmantall]

Thanks A, as long I stick in the 11.8-12 area should be okay, so looks alright for waist 33, I do need to double check calf measurement though

[thompsoa]

Pre Soak Measurements, sz 33
37.5 inch inseam
17 inch waist
10 inch front rise
13.75 rear rise
12.5 thigh
8.5 knee
7.75 inch hem

Post Soak (45 Minutes in warm water followed by another 30 in very hot water)
35 inch inseam
16 inch waist
9.75 inch front rise
13.5 inch rear rise
12 inch thigh
8.25 inch knee
7.5 inch hem

All measurements were done the IH method….now just gotta figure out a way to fit into these

[tatmantall]

Whammy, way too much inseam shrinkage to work for me.

[Seul]

9.75 inch front rise
13.5 inch rear rise

Lawd oh lawd… Those are as bad as N&F jeans...
