Great, thanks. xtc. I needed that last little nudge.

Oh, by the way, if you find your tires sliced, it's probably my wife-to-be telling you to mind your own business regarding any future IH purchases.

So, I bit the bullet and ordered the last size 29 from Self Edge the other day. I was really excited when I checked tracking and found that they were delivered today, two days ahead of the original expected delivery date.

Naturally, I get home from work and open the box to try these babies on ASAP. Imagine my disappointment when I find this:

I've emailed Self Edge, but this was the last 29 in the online store and I was really hyped about this particular pair. Hopefully, we can come up with an acceptable resolution.

I'll keep the post updated.

Kiya responded almost instantly and is taking care of this in the utmost professional manner, which is not surprising to anyone I'm sure.

I'll get some fit pics up when I get these back. I have to say that I'm pretty stoked to have landed a pair of these, even with the minor setback. The denim is sweet.

[Mild7]

That's a good find and the outcome I would expect from SE.

[PSB]

Yeah, he said it's an easy fix.

These things should have a frequent flyer account: Japan to Cali, Cali to NY, NY to Cali, Cali to NY.

Add another NY to Cali, Cali to NY to this.

Self Edge sent these back to me prematurely, hemmed, but with the fly still not repaired. Back they go…

[xtcclassic]

Jeez. At least they're worth the hassle.

[xtcclassic]

I just sent mine off to Denim Therapy today to have some minor crotch repairs and reinforcement done, as well as my Samurai S710xx's to get a long overdue hem job. I'm having separation anxiety already.

I'm sorry that I don't go back and look at what you guys said about sizing. Thinking about picking up a pair of theses. I have a 36 in Flat Heads and a 36 in 3sixteens. Do you guys size down on these? IM thinking about going with a 34 because the waist seems to be cut rather big on these. I would appreciate any help before I make a purchase. Thanks.

[grandmasterben]

There are way too many variables to answer your question…. A 36 in what cuts from those brands? A 36 3005 and a 36 se05bsp, for instance, are very different. I don't have experience with this pair, but it seems like if you have slim thighs compared to your waist these would fit well.

[PSB]

Quick note on the tightness / breathability of this denim: I wore these today for the first time in a few weeks. I fell asleep on the couch for an hour and woke up dripping sweat. This fabric, while beautifully dark and soft, is stifling for even moderately warm temperatures.

I hope I get to wear them a few more times before putting them away for the season.

Also, regarding sizing, I can wear a 30, 31, or 32 in IH depending on actual measurements, but bought these in a 29 and still have room in the waist. These are definitely a funky cut and you should get all your measurements squared up before ordering.

Looking good, man!

[xtcclassic]

Thanks! How are yours coming along?

[KrisB]

Wow…... Xtc, those are amazing so far, keep rocking them

[PSB]

@xtcclassic

Mine are hibernating. I wear my 634s every day to work and being that it's our busy season (HVAC), by the time I get home, there's no recreational jean time.

I can't wait to get back into them though. The evo pics of this denim are downright inspirational.

[xtcclassic]

More inspiration since they just got another wash:

If anyone has a brand new pair for sale in any size 28 through 30 I will pay a premium

[KrisB]

@yambs have you checked self edge?
Last time I checked they had some pairs laying around, but I can't recall which sizes
