Does anybody know if Take 5 in Hong Kong carries the 301S and 9301?

Those are both Self Edge exclusives..

[toufu]

well i got my 9301 today and sure enough it was really big...could size down 2...It's size 32 and it will be up in the supermarket soon

called it

go with a 29

[grand_theft_auto]

Yeah I'll agree with this. Not sure why Kiya says these run small because they don't.

I'm really happy with my cut but considering I sized down (at least according to posted waist measurementst) it should be tighter on the top block.

i totally agree here. i own 634s and 9634, both in 32 and they both fit like you'd expect a 32 to fit. Not sure where Self Edge get this incorrect opinion from.

On Ironheart website they mention a change in their denim (darker apparently) , also stiffer ? :

There's good and bad news..

The good news is their 21oz non-selvedge denim is now darker and a bit more rigid, it has a deeper indigo color.

The bad news is that barely anybody we know ever buys the non-selvedge indigo IH denim.

The 301s, 634s, and all of our collaborations are made of selvedge denim, and therefore this doesn't apply to that denim.

thats strange,i wonder why they would do that....

IH is always improving their denim, they actually changed the indigo selvedge denim about a year ago too. But they never made a formal announcement about it.

Thanks kiya. I guess I'll have to choose a different souvenir

[gazeboarder]

For people considering the larger sizes in the IH 301's I originally got the size 38 but found them to be way too big in the upper block. I exchanged these for the 36 and the fit is great. They were a little tight in the waist but after wearing them for a few hours they are now perfect. I normally wear size 36 in all my denim including Samurai, PBJ 007's and Sugarcane (Slack denim)

[thingymajig]

Brilliant fit. Wish I was still slim enough to get into jeans like that.

[.API.]

got an email off to try and figure when i can get a pair. but looks like IH answer to the 24oz (well not really but...)

interesting little article from IH creator explaining process and thougths behind these, and they are raw unsanforized.

[Guest iron heart]

I'll be stocking them at www.ironheart.co.uk

[kiya]

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.

[RRLselvageDenim]

Kiya,

Will you be stocking these?

http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/rebirth/634SR.html

If you are - I would love to pick up a 31x34 @ your store.

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

Damn, I NEED a pair of these. They don't look smooth like regular Iron Heart denim.

Would it end up being as soft as the regular Iron Heart denim after a was? Why is it listed as 21/23 oz?

I'm wondering if it woven in the same manner as most of Iron Heart's line. Could we have a tighter weave here? Now that would be nice.

[edmond]

well is it 21 or 23 oz denim? so theyre unsanforized???

[kiya]

Yup, we'll be carrying them at Self Edge.

Ed, they're almost 22oz raw, once washed them become almost 24oz due to the shrinking (they're unsanforized).

[edmond]

good shit! thanks k. i might get a pair

[thingymajig]

I take it that they'll be much less suitable for warmer weather (ignoring the extra weight), because of the much-increased rigidity?

[Vanquish Gold]

Sounds so tempting, 24oz after wash, damn they beat Samurai to it!

[edmond]

[Vanquish Gold]

I mean they will release before sammies! May right? Think the 24Oz somewhere in June or so...
