[Miiks]

That's what I figured, no problem 

[Matty123]

this is a raw unsaforized denim i see. a nice! this denim was made especially for SE. specs?

[Giles]

No, it was made by H at my request.  He was very dismissive of it when it was first woven:

Over dinner at the Marriot Courtyard in Bangkok.

H - I've run the sample of Indigo/Indigo you requested
G - What's it like?
H - Well, you'll  like it

He subsequently decided he liked it too and asked me if he could release it in Japan

Wonder why H didn't like it???  It looks like a beautiful fabric.

[Giles]

Well, that is the point.  He does now….....

If I remember correctly, Haraki felt "denim" was only blue or black warp and white or natural weft.  Anything else was just a twill fabric.  So this blue on blue action wasn't real denim, and therefore unfit to be used for jeans.

Happily for all of us, he's become more tolerant of deviance.

[Giles]

Correct…....Go to the top of the class....

@Matty123:

these are only available through self edge correct?

This particular fit/fabric combo, yes!

So I had to give up on the 634SII and got myself a pair of these. I am so glad I did as they fit beautifully. Just need to do a first wash, but I am wearing them for a bit before I do, just my thing. LOVE this denim, I think it is one of IH best, be it all of IH denim is amazing.

Would love to see more member photos of these on here.  I think I'll be ordering these real soon.

[Matty123]

Just nabbed a used pair of these on eBay for 85 bucks. They are in great shape. Will
Lost pics later. I like the fit.

Thats a great find! I just ordered a pair from SE. @Appfaff tempted me with his 18oz version. The measurements seem perfect as I can't really do a 666 cut. I might even go for the OD version as well.

[Appfaff]

I’m sure you will Love then @joephoto - I’d love the ODs as well, but alas… not enough legs lol [emoji23]

I think I will. The measurements are very 888 esque, i.e. good thighs with a taper. It's just that bottom opening sometimes is too narrow. But I think the OD's are on deck… I might just be a bit more patient to see the measurements on the 888 version and compare.

[Matty123]

You’re gonna love these. Slightly smaller rise than the 888NT.

I can't believe I missed these… or never bothered to look at the measurements. I can't wait! I need more legs.

[Matty123]

Well I meant the cut. No necessarily the II

I lucked out and found a pair of the 18oz overdyed in a 40 waist on eBay for a reasonable price.  They fit great.  The cut is definitely a winner.
