IH-301S

[moykky]

@gazeboarder:

I measure close to a 2 inch difference between the IH 301 and the FH BSP.  My IH301 size 36 measure about 16 inches (rear rise).  The Flat Heads size 36 measure 14 inches.  The BSP's have a much tighter upper block.  I would also say my 301's have stretched more than my BSP's.  Both jeans are great.

Thanks! That info is very useful: FH BSP plumbers smile > IH 301 plumbers smile

about the OD question…
I caught a pair of 301s from SE. Great jeans, heavy but comfortable, spectacular fit. My first from IH, never experienced anything like these before. Far better than overpriced stuff like Prps, Evisu, Edwin. Another philosophy. 
So, after one week, I was an addict, lurking on IH's forum, speculating about sizes and stuff...
Then I ordered a pair of 666Sod. I liked all the over-dyed idea, looking forward to the evolution, the fabulous blue-denim fading that I saw in the pics. I was very excited.

Now I can say that the two things are quite different. 666Sod appear to be thicker then 301s, even with a 19oz denim, that is thinner. They seem more difficult to break. maybe is the OD process itself. Is it possible?

But they are beautiful, I can't take  off them anymore!
So what can I do? I have two beast to handle in the same time… I love them both, so I'm doumbfounded.
I think I'll take the 666Sod till to the first fading, then i'll go back to my 301s (Oh, I miss them!).

sorry for the crappy english, but I'm a little rusty, to this day.

I always thought it's great to be able to rotate a od with a pair of indigos..just wear

When Haraki was making the 18oz for me I specced a dark slubby raw denim.  The OD process on this denim really does seen to contract the weave even more….....

I rotate all 4 pairs, wearing a specific pair for three days then onto the next pair! Unfortunately I can't wear
them to work so I put them on as soon as I get home every night. Thank goodness for weekends and holidays!

[Blackheart]

Lookin' great Georgeel!

[ronaldlsh]

I really like how georgeel wears a slim jeans in a relax manner. Great Fit!

[Beatle]

agreed, but the top block on the 666 fits you better…

[Blackheart]

+1, the 301 top block is very loose.

[Giles]

Yep, def a  boxy top block…..........

[Blackheart]

Which is why I need to order a belt from you REAL soon!

[Giles]

Bummer…............

[Blackheart]

Come on G, it's a win/win situation! 

[Giles]

Yep I know.

[georgeel]

soak or not to soak?

[Beatle]

George, won't make a big difference, those could be at least one size smaller for you

[Blackheart]

I plan to stick mine in the dryer to snug them back up.
