Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s
-
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.

I am shocked that people need more thigh room - I gotta hit the gym or something! I sized down AND had RCFG re-taper it for me (I know, I know - blasphemy - I'm sorry!) Different strokes for different folk, I guess. (Fortunately, with the size-down, there is now an appropriate amount of room in the crotch) - a problem when I had the 30 on.

I am in HIGH chance of getting a pair of these. It would be the first unsanforized pair of jeans I ever got. I really want a heavier unsanforized pair and these seem to be the ticket, and with almost perfect cut. This will also be the most expensive piece of clothing ever, that is why I am a little hesitant.
I have a pair of 3sixteen shadow selvedge slim taper and love them! My mind works that I need to know the quality for the price. I know I hear nothing but great things about certain brands. So what makes this pair about 170 worth more than my 14.5oz pair? I am not trying to start anything, just want to be schooled a little. I will guess its all the little details that add up.
I must ask, how long you think these will last with heavy use? If I could get a serious 5 years of hard use, I will have no problem throwing down.
Love the pics everyone has up, the fades look promising. These easy or hard to fade for most?
I am also thinking if I go through with it, with initial wash I would do them luke warm and very hot soak for my waist and opening. I like my openings at like 8", I would be size 38, I am a larger guy, 6'1" at about 220lbs. And sorry I am all over the place typing this post up.
Thanks guys!

^sorry, nobody can tell you wether they will last you 5 years or less, as we don't know what you do in them. Have a look in the HWDC - there are pairs falling apart after 1 year, others look pretty much new. IH is known for perfect fabrication and material, so there are no flaws to be expected. But it comes down to fit, washing Routine, occupation etc. when we speak of durability.
It's also hard to tell wether they're worth more than your 3 sixteens. They will be an awesome pair and you'll be able to tell the difference to all your other Jeans before by just receiving the heavy package. The rest is up to you to decide.
