I was planning on soaking to get rid of some of the chemicalls and starch, or is that not an issue

Not an issue. They are Sanforized.

are most people hemming their 301s or keeping the stackage?

i'm about 5' 7'' and hemmed 2 inches off. i regret not taking more off =\

Different strokes for different folks. I go through phases though. So I generally keep them full length or only cut to 35 inseam. That way it's enough stack if I want to stack em. Or if I want to go with a cleaner look, I just do the cuff below. Adds a little bit of personality too imo then your typical raw edge cuff and double cuff. Cheers.

those look great.. can't wait for my sexih01 i just bought to brighten up. also.. how bad is it that it's so hard for me to unbutton these jeans to use the restroom that i end up just pulling them down? -.- no homo

[Markmont]

It will get easier. If you just pull the left from the right top corners of the jean, it should open a lot easier in one swift pull.

[JackCrank]

you have to ease into this....wear some 14 oz denim for a year..go up to 17...and take it from there...u went all wrong about the raw stuff

I disagree man. Got one pair of APC New Cures. Wore them pretty much for work only and then went straight to the IH9301's. It's not really that bad man. Just wear one pair every single day through hell and high water.

[JackCrank]

Anybody have issues with the back pockets on their IH's wearing out pretty quick? I've only had these for about 4 months. (Warning: I'm ride a bicycle every day but I'm not doing full days messenger work any more, really just commuting and riding around for transport.)

[JackCrank]

Damn, just got 100% schooled by Kiya. Apparently, actually washing them every once in a while keeps them from wearing through as fast. That guy and Self Edge in general are awesome. Thanks Kiya.

anybody with the overdyes getting crazy twisting on the left leg? my selvedge line is nearly at the middle of the front of my foot

Jack, is that you? (Shit, I'm impressed with the work you've done on those already!)

[JackCrank]

Yup, thas me. Told you I'd fuck these things up in well under 6 months. Think I can hold Kiya up to his promise of a new pair if I ever blew the crotch out?

[sidneylo]

Hahaha. You probably smellin' like smear doo doo in those pants.

i have no idea. You'll probably need to tear them up to all hell (but obviously not on purpose). Ride safe and tell Mikey I said wassup.

[JackCrank]

Tearing $350 jeans on purpose? No thank you man.

I've been keeping them by the fan at night so I don't get too... uh... gamy or anything. I'll holler at mike for you for sure.

[PeterParker]

Yup, thas me. Told you I'd fuck these things up in well under 6 months. Think I can hold Kiya up to his promise of a new pair if I ever blew the crotch out?

Shit, I thought you already blew the crotch out. Almost looks like they've been repaired already.

JackCrank: 1, Super Black denim: 0.

[kasida]

Granted, hemming them will definitely make the fit a lot more polished, I do know the feeling of wanting to keep the full length. I rarely cut mines either. Here is an ultimatum to cuttin' your stacks. Cuff the jean inside about 4 - 5 inches or whatever is appropriate, then do a normal 1 - 2 inch cuff on the outside. As seen here:

:eek:

hey Markmont, very nice boots, where can i get that?

[seafinch]

::: Update on my IH301S's :::

Thought I'd post some pics of how they're fitting after about two months of semi-regular wear. They've definitely settled down and relaxed a bit. Pretty happy with the fit.

ignore the mismatched socks...

[gazeboarder]

I'm keeping mine stacked. The tighter leg opening looks good with the stacks. If the hemming service was free I might have gone that route.

[Osmosis Jones]

3 months. don't know why the butt looks so crazy.

Nah, not yet. Gonna get em repaired soon though.

...I'm 98% sure that photo is cropped from a dapper looking older Asian man who was photographed by the sartorialist earlier this past summer. It was a great look. I am also 98% sure those are Alden suede chukkas. I'm sure lots of places have those - I know Leffot carries them.

[cure]

Very true, that is an image of an asian man on the Sartorialist. I COULD dress like that if I wanted to FYI : P

The shoes are Alden 1492's.

A few days back I would have taken you up on that offer. But alas, I just decided to wear my sz. 31s. Throw them up on sumarket, they should sell instantly.

[chambo2008]

[kasida]

3 months. don't know why the butt looks so crazy.

3 months?? very nice..... i've never got that faded in 3 months. for me, that faded is around 5-6 months. damn, i hope i can find some job that allow me to wear jeans every days.

[jdmcnary]

am I missing something or is there not a single fit pick (other than from SE) of the SExIH07 indigo on here? Would love to see them and get thoughts if anyone has...
