Still have this?

Interesting San Francisco Chronicle article today on the emerging workwear look in the Mission District. Talks of Kiya and Self Edge. Check it out HERE.

Here's my recent progress. Still no bike riding, just sitting on my ass, walking, and driving. Of course the flash pictures show more of the color loss.

Seriously considering a pair of those straight legs. Great price point.

Those are the 5th Anniversary jean, coming out the last week of May.

Limited to 500 pairs worldwide, the denim is insane.

Imagine IH's denim, but heavier, with more character, and ages in a very intense way with lots of contrast and variations.

It's also not pliable like IH's regular selvedge denim, it's extremely rigid.

Put me down for 1 of these bad boys. I hope they fade a little faster than the 634S.

After months of struggling with IH 634S to show results, these are way on the opposite side of the fading spectrum. No biking to help with my 3 weeks, just sitting on my ass working on computers and driving.

Paid for the SEXSC06

My updates after about 3 weeks of wear. Combs are forming and my wallet and my blackberry storm are slightly starting to show up.

I started mine about 2 weeks earlier, but I'll gladly stop 2 weeks before the end date. Still wish I got a 33 instead of a 34.

I just came back from Gap in San Francisco and I was surprised to find this Japanese Denim 1969 Low Rise Straight Jeans. Details include a dark leather 1969 patch and red selvage Japanese denim. Pretty nice fit and for $88 minus the 30% off for the Friends and Family special today, I couldn't say no. Here's the link for those not near a Gap. http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7389&pid=624550&scid=624550002

After 2 hot soaks and 1 machine dry to get the maximum shrinkage, the waist still hasn't really sized down. I'm really regretting not getting a 33 versus what I purchased, 34. Don't size up!!!

any better pics of the fbts?

Is the Iron Heart Flannel still available? I'm interested.

Iron Heart denim does fade really slow compared to pretty much every other company out there. There has been way more progress in a lot less time with my other pairs of jeans. I've been wearing the 634S religiously for about 6 months. I've done about two cold soaks and 1 machine wash.

Ironheart belt also??

Yes, heavy duty Iron Heart belt.

Posted my Iron Heart 634S in the other thread, but I though it should also go here. These are my current favorite in my denim rotation.

This is one of my first pair of Japanese denim that I picked up years back when Self Edge first opened, but started to really wear them like 4 times a week over the past 4-5 months. Iron Heart 634S. Yes, they were cut a lot shorter than I would like, but definately not flood status!

How much are you looking to spend?

If anyone has one or can get one, I'm looking for a pair of WTB: Visvim Mowat Moc Veggie sz 9 Dark Brown. Please send me your price with shipping to California. Paypal ready! Thanks!

Picked up the 55s. I can wait to see how they are in person. to the rest of you that cleaned up the rest of the Sugar Cane goods at Attic.

BTW, I've been trying to search the treads on the fit of the 55s and couldn't find much. Anyone know how they fit in comparison to say the Okinawas?

interested, but would like to see pics of the condition they are in.

Saw these today and tried on my size. I promised myself no more denim till 09, but these changed my mind. Slubby and a great fit! sz34, Kiya

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with 3Sixteen. They are based out of NYC and have a decent clothing line that will now add this SL Series denim. Looks like they put together a decent product. The SL-100x (Indigo) and the SL-200x (Black) are constructed of unwashed Japanese selvedge denim with each pair is cut and hand sewn in the USA. Details include custom gunmetal rivets and shanks and aleather patch is handcrafted in Portland by Tanner Goods. Releases later this month. More pics here
