Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s

TBH that bunching in the crotch just looks awful. IMO, of course.

In defense of the 301 cut, the guy at SENY help point out a lot of issues that were accentuating the excess room in my pics:
1) The denim was very stiff in the leg, effectively propping up the crotch area from the thighs. That would definitely improve as the denim settles.
2) The way in which I dried the denim after soaking (i.e. I didn't flat dry it front-to-back, rather on its side because I didn't want any creases to form at the inseam/outseam) made it so that the top block was oval-shaped when you look at it from above: crotch/butt were jutting out excessively (i.e. not touching my body) whereas the sides were flush against the sides of my thighs. That would also change as the denim settles.
3) Finally, I had a full inch of waist room post-soak - so the entire jean could have been smaller.Consequently, I think the 301 cut is great at Size 30 (I can't speak about the 33 or the 36 that UrbanWoodsman mentioned); I just need a smaller size. As soon as this one sells, I will be getting a Size 29 in the 301 cut for sure.

Weirdly enough, I saw one of my buddies the other day and he asked me about the bunching in the crotch with this cut. I have a sz36 and he has a sz33. They both have this issue. It doesn't go away. I've had mine for almost a year now. Maybe Kiya likes to hide snakes in his pants? Maybe it only affected us three?
FYI I've hot machine washed and dried three times. If you have room in the waist, I would try a hot machine wash.
+1 on the bunching. I don't mind it anymore.

first day wearing mine, they went from ungodly stiff to comfortable in about a day. What does everyone think? should I recuff and raise them up, or keep them this length ?
-
Looks good to me.

heres the jeans, with the matching jacket. Been wearing the jacket for 1-2 months now, starting to show some signs of fading, getting really soft. Been wearing the jeans 1-2 weeks. The shirt is a herringbone from Sugar Cane, and boots are the new Red Wing 8180Im a little bummed the rise is so low, and the thighs are so tight
-
someone trade me for a pair with more thigh room please
-
Same reason I had to get rid of mine.
-
30 waist, 11.3 thigh, not sure what the front rise is . Someone suggest a pair with similar leg opening but a realistic amount of thigh room.

Consider the 634. It will have more thigh room. A couple of the 666 variations have 11.5" thigh in your size, so +0.2" over what you have now. The 666-19L actually has less thigh however. I haven't looked much at the 555. If you like the 301, the 555 might be closer. The 634 will not have the same leg opening.
They look fine on you but I realize the feel of a fit is very personal.

The 555 is way tighter in the thigh. Try the 633

633 is the best of both worlds, roomy thigh with a narrow ankle.
