Steel Feather MiJ - Heavy Oz denim

[Anders Helseth]

Time for some evo close-ups on the 21oz Steel Feather jeans; pictures were taken at around 1,5 months of (just about) everyday wear:

Will be back with more pictures of how they look on me after about 2 months of wear

Picture update on my Steel Feather jeans, size 34. These were shot around the 2 month mark, and they feel quite a bit looser now, especially in the hip and upper thigh:

Pictures were shot by my girlfriend, Annette, at her grandparents farm in Øysletta.

The first post has been revised, and some of the information reorganized for clarity. Be sure to check it out, and to PM if you have any questions

If I hadn't just picked up a new denim 1 month ago, these would be a pretty easy choice.

I would like to repeat that information on how to buy a pair of Steel Feather 21oz jeans is described in the first post of this thread; including information on sizes, expected shrinkage and stretching.

I hope this will make it easier for everyone; and if you have any questions beyond that information, or something seems unclear to you, please PM me. I'm glad to be of help

Kind Regards

Regedit is correct. The first edition Steel Feather 21oz jeans are limited to 100 pieces, and I've numbered them on the label inside

Back with some more pictures. My friend Sigurd sent me a few snapshots of himself to share; naturally, he's wearing his Steel Feather jeans, size 32.

(Above: the texture of the Steel Feather 21oz denim in direct sunlight; this denim is lizard friendly, as you can see from the pic)

(Above: Sigurd in the sun; I know some people don't enjoy the combination of cuffs and sneakers, but I think he pulls off this casual look pretty well)

(Above: Sigurd, still sitting on his rock, sporting his Steel Feather jeans)

(Above: Sigurd, this time without sunglasses or the jacket; the car is a Lotus Elise 111S, and belongs to my friend Rikhard)

These pictures were shot by Rikhard on the way from Lillehammer to Oslo, on one of the few sunny days in April.

Steel feather & fjords look great together

car's not bad either....

Is that a fjord?

The car is a Lotus Elise 111S, hand-made British sports car. A fjord is a prolonged narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, which is filled with water. We have fjords in Norway, although I'm sad to say the body of water in the picture is a lake, and I think this particular one is called Mjøsa (not 100 % certain about it though).

Loving these Anders, can't wait to get my pair soon!

A pair of Steel Feather jeans found its way to London recently. This is Junior wearing a size 31:

This is Junior's first pair of raw Japanese selvage denim, and according to himself he's loving it so far. I'm very happy to be able to supply someone with their first trip into the world of MiJ jeans!

Anders, been meaning to post this for a long time since I got your jeans but I haven't had a chance until now. These are the size 32 pre wash. I plan on soaking them but I want to wear them for a bit so that maybe the legs can stretch out a bit first. The thighs and calves are perfect but the waist is a lot bigger than my waist so after a soak it should be perfect. Was just reviewing the pics you posted above of your 2 friends -- the size 32 wearer in Norway and the size 31 wearer in London -- can you compare their bodies? How much taller/bigger is the 32 waist friend compared to the 31waist friend?

[Anders Helseth]

Thanks for sharing, shinobi2000. It won't shrink much in the thigh area, and it will stretch out with some wear. The first days might be a bit uncomfortable, but it just gets better and better the more you wear it.

Sigurd is 175cm tall; not sure about Junior (London). I would say he's shorter than Sigurd by the look of the pictures.

With the risk of sounding biased, I like how they look on you; and I'm sure they'll mould to you nicely given time. However, I'm not sure how much it will stretch without washing first. I'd wash them, and start breaking them in. The denim is surely more flexible after a wash and some wear.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

for me the fit right now looks just great. I have no experience about the shrinkage of this denim but Anders does. If this would have been a pair of Flathead 3001 or so, I would have said: size up!

But if Anders say you are good, listen to him

[Maynard Friedman]

I agree with bf on this one.

Either size up or man up (when washed)!

[shinobi2000]

wow i didn't think my manhood was going to come into question with these pics...:-) sizing up is definitely not an option. any wider in the waist and they are going to just fall off me. Ok, will soak soon. Pics to come eventually...
