Nice post Nizzel55. Nice looking jeans. Love the indigo/indigo 18oz denim

I rarely wash my jeans, and yes it sounds plausible that they don´t last as long as frequently washed jeans, BUT, i have 14oz Nudie jeans i have worn 500-600 days without wash and still holding on just fine. My jeans doesn't smell worse after 500 days without wash, compared to 8 weeks of wear without wash.

Hi all

I've got a pair of 634S which fit great except on the waist. Can't button them up comfortably. I've persisted with them to see if they'll stretch over time but they havent, even using advice from this thread. Got to the point where I dread wearing them. They are 36 waist, 34 leg (which is my usual size). Looks like I need a 38 waist in this brand.
Prepared to exchange, sell or swap if anyone's interested. Can provide a photo. Broken in but not worn in.

I've had tight weave jeans stretching 2 inches in the waist, and these are loose weave, so if you can button them up they should stretch.

Sooo Nice, - They fit you spot on den1mhead Looking forward to see the sam's. I dyed the Ducks with a mix of Black and dark grey, and i believe they will fade beautifully. I also played with a green colour on another pair. I really like these as well

@private:

Im on the market for a new pair, and debating between these, and the SEXIH22-301S . Which would you all pick ? I want semi slim, but don't want tight tight. I ride a bike and motorcycle, wear boots most often, but don't like my boots draped over by the cuff. Also which will get better fades?

How you want your denim to fade is very individual, and this indigo/indigo is new so you don't know how it will fade. I have this denim in the 634 version, and i really like it. What i can surely tell you is that this denim fades really fast and is beautifully dark and smooth. Very little leg twist (some people like leg twist, some dont). Since this denim is very "clean/flat", and the weft is also indigo it will look dirty quicker than normal denim with white weft, so if you plan to wash rarely or never to obtain hard contrast fading, and dont like the trucker look, this is not the denim to choose. Dont know the SEXIH22-301s, but it also looks interesting with the grey weft. Enjoy

Very nice pair seul.

These almost didn't bleed any indigo when hot soaked (my UHR made the water dark blue), but still they fade really fast. Only 11 days of LIGHT wear.

Soooo nice Nizzel. Winner pair

Despite the fact that these doesn't bleed a big amount of indigo when soaked compared to the UHR, they are fast faders like the UHR. Mine are only 6 days, and already showing nice signs of wear. I was also i little surprised, that the inseam lost that much length.
I wanted another pair also in size 32 but they where sold out. I like the pockets being a little closer together then the UHR, a whole inch to be precise.
This is a piece of art from Iron Heart.

Just received these beauties, and i think they are are gonna be my new favorites over my 634 UHR which is the ultimate fast fader jeans. So flat and shiny this denim is. Thanks for the fast shipping and reliable measurements IH UK.

So these stretch alot ? Giles are these between the UHR and the 21oz stiffness wise ? They look very nice.

Soooo nice

Really nice pair Nizzel.

@Raptor:

I choose tts but sadly the top two button wont button at all..what should i do? I bought it from a proxy service btw and i already soaked it so it'd be impossible to do a return 

A car Jack (The thing to lift the car i hope), and two blocks of wood. Take the two blocks of wood on each side of the Jack possitioned in the waist of the buttoned up jeans. Screw a few clicks a little bit each day on the jack untill you fit inside. The same replyes for expanding the thighs but demands a little more skill.

Just bought this piece of art, and it´s sooo stiff. Makes the 25oz feel like oil and massage. Love this tight weave.

Enjoy you denim nerds.

10 month, twice soaked, 1 wash

Daaaaaaamn!!!! 34 inseam ?? 36 next time G, and i wish you a merry…

I understand the confusion

I have a few other jeans trick, e.g. if the thighs are to tight and need a little expansion.
In this case you can use a jack to lift a car with, and two pieces of wood. I did that with my sex13-23oz and it worked fine. You can also remove about 0,2-0,5 inches extra from the leg opening with the help from almost boiling water and a hair dryer.
And if you want a longer backrise, you can borrow a small plane and let the top block hang out the window and then make a loop under a rainy cloud…....
Havent tried that last one yet but it should work just fine

Enjoy denim nerds

@tatmantall:

ive looked and looed and looked, and have yet to find any; however, can anyone tell me if flathead makes any straight cuts that have a post soak of 37"+ inseam? typically I wear a 30 waist in samurai and IH for reference. I really like the charactereistics of some oftheir denim but just dont like how skinny my se-5bsp look on me. They aren't too tight really, just look weird for some one as tall and long legged as me to wear such a skinny cut if that makes sense.

Hi Tatmantall.

I'm 6.5, and i also have the 5bsp, mainly because i couldn't resist the ekstra long inseam. The days of walking up and down the streets of copenhagen to find a decent pair of jeans being long enough is finally over, thanks to the small people of japan :)…..Hope i'm not offending anybody.

A little (maybe) relevant info. My unsanforized denim such as IH666s and Samurai S5000VX-25oz, i was actually able to pull the inseam when damp, so it's exactly the same length as when i got them. The inseam Scrinkage was about 2 inches after two smoking hot soakes. I know it's not rocket science, but if your'e not able to pull hard enough while standing up, try this : You need a car, a towel (or some other fabric), and some flat wood. 1 :Put the damp jeans flat on the ground, wrap the towel around the upper part, and put the wood on top, laying as if you where measuring the thigh.  2: park the car with one wheel on the jeans (heaviest end depending on car model), so that only the part from where you measure the thigh is visible. 3 : exercise your back so it's warm and ready to work hard for a few explosive seconds. 4: Put your feet up against the wheel, and pull.

Well the very short info was this. When i buy jeans i don't worry about the inseam anymore, cause i'm able to pull them back to the original length.

Enjoy

I just purchased a pair of S5000vx 25oz, as my first Samurai. The denim feels really nice and it´s the darkest i've seen for a while (similar to Flat head 14,5oz). It dosnt feel as heavy and brutal as IH 25oz, and as i doscovered af few ours later it really isn't. I even used the smaller silhuette 666 25oz to compare with - Less fabric dispite the much higher rise.

Weight was :

Samurai S5000vx 25 oz = 1.252 kg
IH 666 25 oz = 1.408 kg

If the IH 25 oz really is 25oz and i believe it is, This Samurai must be 22/23 oz.

Damn i feel like a geek now…......so not rock'n roll.
