My impatience got the best of me yesterday,
walked these into Blue Owl Workshop and had them chop and chainstitch the hem. ha

My OD version arrived this afternoon and… what a shirt. Agree with @Boit about the pre-faded look, almost looks like someone’s bedded it in for me for a couple of months before posting it.

@Oaktavia

@deadendpro Thanks for reminding me that. I do recall Kiya saying that somewhere here. I'm having trouble keeping track of where what was said in the three threads.

I also do not think this denim is that similar to the 18oz Vintage, especially the nonOD. It seems more rich and saturated with indigo, texture is different too. It is in a whole other category imo.

interesting and I agree: a whole other category of denim.

@Boit I'm not sure it qualifies as a Heavy Slubby Vintage nomenclature-wise. Is the 18oz Vintage called that because it has a slightly lighter, vintagey-indigo hue? This 19oz is dark like ink from a ballpoint pen. Maybe HSS - Heavy Slubby Selvedge would better suit the denim. Idk. My two cents.

Interesting. I had not thought of it that way. I'm not sure of the etymology of how the 18oz became known as "vintage". I figured it was because of the slack weave. Hence, why I figured it was a good adjective to use here. Regardless, I'm getting a kick out imaging shortening the acronym we'll need to adopt for describing this amazing denim. Maybe we're still missing the mark here: 19VHS for Very/Vintage Heavy Slub. I know Kiya has a fondness for the older AV technologies...though I'd wager him more of betamax kinda guy....haha

@Giles No doubt Kiya is in the driver seat.

Not sure if it’s been said here, but. I m also liking the new direct dye od. In conjunction with the raised vertical texture of this weave, it almost looks prefaded yet more of a flat matte black. Difficult to describe, but I do really like it. That said the sulphur od is quite a bit different. A much darker and inky sheen.

interesting and I agree: a whole other category of denim. I’ve only got the od RN, but from what I can tell it’s more of an open weave like that of the 18V and less like that of the 19L/21S (hefty, soft and homogenous). For me that’s where the comparison stops. It definitely feels more substantial than the 18V and the texture is through-the-roof interesting half-way to slubby that drapes really nicely…like that of a SHF. Maybe this 19oz is 19SHV (Slubby Heavy Vintage)?

I’m in awe of what I can comfortably conceal in these front pockets:

@whacim Great fit and great pic

This is more of a WAYWTomorrow fit for me:

Green ETA-proof Cordura Hat
349
UES Slub No8
IHWA-01
SEXIH25-633od (soon to be NWOT)
Alden Longwings (back to working in office)

Congrats Self Edge and Iron Heart on such a great collab!

I’m really digging these 633ODs in the SEXIH25 Slubby Vintage 19oz denim. Very fantastic!

Good call with the longer pocket bags and higher waist. Having the extra room in both of those dimensions makes for a much more comfortable fit…I think these are pretty comparable to the 888 cut for me…but somehow different/better/more comfortable. Maybe a combination of sizing up and the longer bags?

Currently planning on sending these back to Self Edge to get hemmed:

@kiya, What size are you sporting in these?

I took a XL in the last run, but in the prior run I would have taken a L. I would wait to see an updated chart before deciding what you’re going to get. It’ll be updated just prior to the restock.

Thanks y’all for the kind words.

My wife and I rented a little excavator and dug out the holes for the rocks we picked out at https://marenakos.com/.

Marenakos was able to crane in all the rocks without disturbing the red buds in the parking strip.

Happy to have the upper slope retained now.

@Johnnyutah247 I’m hearing 18V…but w/ more character. not nearly a slubby as the 16oz but got some of that in there too. I cant wait to see it IRL!

@Cents-or-Non-Cents haha. that’s awesome. I remember Sidney Lo and Beatle selling them hard. My first pair of IH’s…shortly followed by a pair of 634s. I rotated between those two pairs for years. Back then I remember IH known for anything but being stubborn faders. Everyone wearing APc and Nudie. If you were in Whistler for a weekend in summer 2010, and saw a fool wearing tight black jeans on A line, doing drops on shit he not qualified to do…that was me

Yo. You dorks crashed the SE site earlier this morning. Took 20+ minutes for me to load and go through the pages needed to purchase what I “needed” to get. Got on there right at the stroke of 9am. Can’t wait to see the internet traffic data on this release. I ended up getting one size up in the 633od: size 36. Hopefully it (sizing) work out for me went with the numbers . If I gotta return em, so what…I would have just buy something else I “needed” from IH…something that I would have otherwise bought anyway.

@CosmoSix5 I quite literally trust Haraki-San and Kiya and Giles/IHUK. If the new OD sucked it wouldn’t have been produced at this production volume. No way this release is gonna disappoint. I’m only hearing positive things from those who seen it IRL.

Lucky me. Things turned positive for me today…didnt think I was gonna have the cash flow to purchase any of this collection. Thinking now I may get the 633od. kinda in an old school way brings it back to the start for me:

Bought these SEXIH07od’s 15 years ago when they released. Must have worn them +500 days. Wore ‘em downhill biking and crashed out hard on Whister A line trying to keep up with my buddies. Second time on a mountain bike and new to living out west.

IIRC, these were second run of the OD: first being SEXIH03. Very few examples of OD fades then.

Back then half the japanese denim we bought was STF. Cant imagine what the collective anxiety about sizing STF these days would be… haha
