Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s
-
I have no problem paying for quality. That is what we sell our business on, plus a lot more(nothing in regards to the fabric industry).
Here is a really good question, for me…how are the pocket size? I like to carry quite a bit of stuff and like to have room without feeling like I am being jabbed to death due to the seat being way too tight. Anyone know how wide and deep the 5th pocket is?
I am glad to see one forum that is up to date with a good forum family that posts daily. Glad to be here!
-
I always find IH pockets are more than ample size and I carry my phone, keys, loose change, lighter, wallet at the back and other assorted rubbish.
-
Got word, back rise is 15". I am guessing with shrinkage maybe about 14.6" or so after soak. Almost an inch less than my current jeans and front rise will be a little over an inch shorter. Hmmm….That is low rise for me,haha. Hate not being able to try them on, at all.
I hate bending down and my ass showing. Plus CC, so the ability to keep my tops up higher is nice. Decisions....hmmmm
-
Imo usually you get some rise back when they stretch out in the waist

Talked to SENY and got the gentleman to measure. 11FR, 15BR, I could probably live with. But the opening is 8.75" which is a bit too big for my taste. 8" is PERFECT for my boots, 7.75 is nice too, 8.25 is probably livable with. I was hoping to hear 8.5, then assume shrinkage could take up about .25"
Does anyone have size 38 here? Or anyone with 34-36 and see what their opening is, to compare. Thanks
-
Well, I placed an order for a pair of size 38s. I just couldn't resist the material and want for a pair of Iron Heart heavy denim. A loomstate indigo/grey…I can't wait to feel them in my hands next week.
I do have slight worry about some measurements. Hope I can shrink the leg opening down to about 8.3" at least....haha. Hot ass water soak after the rest of the jeans have soaked in warm water.
What is the % of shrinkage of these jeans again? I read it somewhere...

Erm, possibly on the product page?
-
They have the inches marked, not percentage. If I knew what size that was from I can figure % out easy.
I have become very good with knowing my measurements, this is a slight risk for me… But it might be the best reward.
I am guessing how most denim is made it shrinks more vertically then horizontally.
-
All the measurements and the expected shrinkage are on that page. You therefore have all the data you need to work out the percentage shrinkage…..

Supposed to be in my mailbox tomorrow. Hope the snow doesn't stop the mailman from coming! So excited to get my hands on some Iron Hearts!
-
Just received the jeans about 45 minutes ago. Took pre wash measurements and fit pictures(processing photos shortly).
I have to say I am not happy…I am ECSTATIC! I am glad SE and SENY were off in their measurements. Everything was a little bit bigger than what they say when I measure(and I measure 3 times). The only measurement that was smaller than I was told is the hem, soooo good! I believe it was 8.25", which means about 8 once dried
I will post pre wash measurements and pics shortly then. Just wanted to say I am extremely happy with everything.
-
Here are my pre wash measurments…My jeans have been in the tub for about 20 minutes or so already and I forgot to take inseam measurements, oh well.
Waist - 20"
Front Rise - 11.1875"
Back Rise - 15.375"
Seat 5" Down - 24"
Seat 8" Down - 25.25"
Thich(at crotch) - 14.25-14.375"
Thigh 1" Down - 13.875
Thigh 2" Down - 13.25"
Thigh 3" Down - 12.75"
Thigh 4" Down - 12.125"
Knee 13" - 9.375"
Knee 15" - 9.25"
Leg Opening - 8.25"(the inside diameter, not outer)Yes I know, a lot of measurements, but if I know those measurements I know jeans/pants will fit me perfectly.
Here some quick shots I took...
The hairs
I love little details. Both sides are selvedged finished, which I love
Now for two fit pics, I paid the model nothing…
For being such a heavy denim, they don't seem bad. I wore thicker/more uncomfortable clothing in my life. Can't wait for these to be dry overnight and throw them on tomorrow!
-
I do love that denim.
-
Thanks guys. The denim is very pretty, can't wait to see how it performs over the next few years. I can probably say now this will be one of, if not my favorite pairs ever. They are still drying, but I took a hem measurement and they are at 8", so I am super happy.
I can never let my fiancee know how much I spent though, she would literally kill me. She just doesn't get raw denim and all its offerings.
I will be back to post measurements and fit pics tomorrow. I am surprised there isn't more talk about this denim. Loomstate is one of the rarest fabric to find, at least for me.
-
Quick question, always wondered…what is the Red W/E on the back right pocket mean/stand for?
-
It's a W standing for "the Works".
Edit: Damn, too slow.
