she's gonna bloooow

[pruple]

yeah lulls. i'm starting to fear for my crotch too, but your's looks quite worked

[midnight]

DAMN that crotch looks thin. You may want to reinforce it or something now before it actually develops a hole. They're looking great, thoguh.

[enojy]

just got a good mental visual of how creepy this conversation between two denim enthusiasts would be in person.

"damn dude, your crotch is getting worked so much faster than mine."

Mandatory yoyo-fit pic that I never got around to posting...

Great wear so far everyone! I'm affeard for my crotch...I think I'll actually start wearing these in after my month with the Dior tour...

[ChadM]

Great fit on those!

[sm2s]

here's another shot of these in thailand..

sunny day in korea:

korean grocery store:

not too many pics of these in vietnam. unfortunately i went 5 days without them because the tailor couldnt repair them in time for my tour :|

[Raoul Duke]

sm2s, any pictures of the repairs? I'm interested to see how they handled all those little holes.

[midnight]

I'd love to see pics of the repair job as well. Oh god, a real korean grocery store. Wish i was there. So much good shit

[Guest noogsahoy]

anyone got pics of the blacks?

[MindxMatters]

looking at these pics makes me kind of regret not picking up your pair of 28s,midnight.

[midnight]

Sorry MindXmatters! Wish I had another pair to sell. Get on the new seXfh jean coming out in not too long

[sm2s]

for leonard leroy

some quick shots pre-repair... (the back pockets werent repaired)

and after..

[sm2s]

first pair i had to repair so im not too sure how great it is, but seems to have worked out pretty well.

any insight on how they did?

[midnight]

It looks much better. I haven't had to have much work done on any of my jeans, just once I got a hole patched at 45rpm, and yours definitely look good. Is the denim they used to patch it pre-washed, though?

[aho]

Wow, repairs look good, is it possible to get a wider/further out shot like the last few except not inside out? Just wondering how the stitching job looks as a whole...

Thanks for the updates! Makes me excited and wondering how your pair will turn out in a few months.

heres the sz 29 pair i bought from midnight - before he decided to sell his sz 28

i like the fit somehow, but i agree with him that the top block is kinda boxy - i might have needed a 28, too. my sz29 310s were kinda tight in the waist and thighs in the beginning, so i thought a 29 might work.

now im torn between just selling them and waiting for the new selfedge/fh collab or washing them at 40 or even 60 degrees and then putting them in the dryer. im not sure but i think midnight only did a short hot soak and let them hang dry, so that might just do the trick. if the thighs shrink a little more its ok, but i really want the crotch/ass bulge to go away.

Looks like you definitely needed a 28.

And sm2s, the repairs look good. Hopefully you will still be able to get a lot of life out of them.

[midnight]

The ass bulge is one of the main reasons I sold em. I used boiling water and hot water and did about a 1 hour soak, then let them hang dry. Maybe you should toss em in the wash and see if they'll shrink down anymore. Still, they look much better on you than they ever did on me. I wouldn't worry too much if they didn't shrink down a surprising amount. Good luck!

[beatle]

Thanks sm2s for posting a ton of pics and keeping the thread alive

well see for yourself, pics are a bit weird though because i had to hold the mirror.

i actually don't think it looks that bad. im sure it'll look a lot better once the denim starts to soften up.

[braid]

The ass bulge is one of the main reasons I sold em.

Same here. The cut seems to be more of women's cut as they are roomy in the top block and skinny everywhere else. I would describe them as an anti-fit skinny jean.

[branespload]

anyone got pics of the blacks?

SEXFH05BKs:

EDIT: wtf it looks like I have no wear on these. :(

[branespload]

Excessive fit pics:

werekawp sum ass? top block is so roomy after I dropped a few pounds..

[goat]

i like that fit a lot

and yeah, like everybody said, boxy top

but meh, i'll work it out

[midnight]

Good fit. Better than most of the ones i've seen for this particular jean. Those combs look like they're already pretty faded from that non-fit pic. Keep wearing them. I wanna see how the blacks look nice and faded!

[habia]

Hm.. I just read through almost this entire thread and did some searching...

It seems like most people had the jeans comfortable/loose presoak then shrank to fit.

Did anyone have a pair of the 16oz indigo which were tight in the waist both pre and post soak? How much did they stretch out after a couple months? more than 1 inch past raw waist measurement?

Trying to figure out how much stretch is in the flat head 16oz denim, thank you. I got my 14oz 3xxx denim to stretch a bit over 1 inch in the waist past raw measurements, should I expect similar results from this denim?

Thanks for any help.

[smiggins]

reapirs, it cost $16 and i gave the guy a tip because he was really cool and quick.

Yoyoing Superstar (and Sufu member/close friend/design genius) Mark Montgomery was on CBS's nationwide news program this morning, straight up wearing the SEXFH05.
