I have a store credit with Self Edge and am Debating on getting the 3009's. I've heard that sizing is a bit off on these. Is that the case? Or can I count on Self Edge's measurements?

No reason why you're not entitled to ask them to measure the size you're after…

heard the rises are a bit odd. low rise was the word

I've tried on the 3009 and the rise is fine. It's a good cut and I kinda regret choosing the 3001 instead (which shrunk to the point I cannot wear them anymore).

Elclintor, check DC4's measurements. His shit is on point for the Flat Head measurements.

El, I think you'd like a size 34. (If you don't plan on regular washes.)

i have the 3009 its a great jeans. The cut is actually based on the same model as the IH 634 signature. I stayed in the 3009 with my usual 30 and have no probs so far but thats me. I did the same re sizing with my 3005 in a 30 and after several washes i am still able to fit into em, but again each body is different.

Good luck

Is that what size you had? Do you remember what size the waist ended up being after soaking?

I don't know the actual figure, but if I had to guess based on how I recall them fitting, I would say between 15.75-16" right after a soak.

Also, I'm not sure how tall you are, but be careful not to hem. Unless SE has their FH jeans lengthened specifically for them, the actual length is closer to 36" with at least 2.5" of shrink with successive washes/soaks.

El, some quick fit pics of the 3009, mine are soaked and hemmed to approx 32.5 after first soak

Agree! How you manage to get the jeans to pop from your thighs but then run straight just amazes me. Perfect!

davito

Thx a lot Snowy, those 60's based cuts are really nice. I believe the secret of popping from the thighs are my really slim legs thanks man

It's the 3009 cut. There's quite an intense taper down to the hem and I highly recommend soaking twice, as it really slims up hip through to the thigh.

Soak with agitation to ensure the get the shrinkage out. Flat Head denim is super dark so you won't lose colour by doing this.

davito

I wont soak them again for a while as I change trousers almost everyday and have too much denim lying around to give some love too. I am aware how flathead denim behaves. thx a lot guys

That was more for Clint's benefit than yours, David.
