Self Edge x Sugar Cane - SExSC06

[deminslut]

true to size is the only way to go with these straight slim jeans.

[cure]

allergy, shit looks good. id be surprised if they werent a little loose if soaked. looks like itll be a perfect fit

[grouse_allergy]

Post-soak, worn for about a week. Fit is perfect. Sorry for the bad quality pics. There will be better ones eventually.

[501cult]

Looks like a very good fit to me, as well. One size tighter would still have worked (I am ever the advocate of wearing denim tight), but I think you have been well served.

[vanfragmeter]

Wish i could get rid of my sexsc06's... need to buy another in a smaller size

[shoexjunkie]

i realize that my sexsc are a tad bit too tight for me. im trying to selling my pair. about 2 months wear on them. size 32. 1 soak 1 wash.

[501cult]

C'mon Shoexjunkie, tight is good, in particular with this one. As long as you can close the buttons, they fit right imO. Keep on rocking them!

[jackers]

fit looks great grouse

[Markmont]

Call me crazy, but has anyone tried having these tapered by a tailor? I'm going to have my pair cut to the same, or as close as possible, to the iron heart cyclist fit. Very interested to see the stacking and slimness on such a slubby jean. Pics to come.

^The thoughts crossed my mind actually.

I've got around 2 inches of slack on my 33s and I was deliberating whether to put the jeans up on supermarket or just have it tailored. I cant bare to let go of the pants, the denim is just nuts.

EXACTLY. The fit isn't for everybody. Definitely not for me. But the quality of the jean is so nice and characteristic, I figured tapering would be the best happy medium. I'll post pics when I get it done.

[WillKhitie]

I know, do post when you get it done, i'd like to see how they turn out.

The fit really isn't for everyone. That's probably the main reason why my pair have been demoted to inhouse jeans, now that I'm leaning more towards a more tailored fit.

Not to knock on it, I still find myself rubbing my legs, just as much as when I first got it. The slub on these is just amazing, so much so that I'd be willing to desecrate it and have it tapered down.

I got them tapered and hemmed and I love the fit now. I didn't get the ankle tapered enough, so it doesn't "stack" very well, but it still feels a lot better than it did out of the box.

I haven't even worn them a week yet and I LOVE EM. Great job on these kiya

[Solix]

Completely redid my yard today and got these rather dirty. If it weren't for the poor snail in the grass that my right knee knelt on by accident, these would've gone with a couple more months of wear.

I also like how the buttons peek copper now:

Obligatory fit pic:

[501cult]

Cool stuff, Solix! I wish my SEXSC06 were as far as yours. Are you sure that snail (RIP) really makes a wash necessary? Sleep on it and then decide slightly filthy jeans ain't that bad.....

[Solix]

They still smelled rather musty, dusty. Plus I don't have many other pant selections for backup.

As far as fading, I still don't see how some of these other wearers get such great atari and contrast. I've worn mine on and off since last November (worn rather hard when I do get to wear them) and I still don't get the peeking white fades that others have gotten in 4-6 months. But s'all gravy. They're still a really great, soft, comfortable pair of denim.

[501cult]

Yeah, tell me about it. I feel you-others always seem to get more intense fades than me. You wear yours not real tight, I notice-I probably would have tried to talk you into one size smaller.

If you're sure a night of airing them out, or the freezer, or both, really can't take care of the situation, well then, it has to be a wash. Sigh. But you will provide us with an after-wash pic soon, won't you?

[grouse_allergy]

Looking good, solix. Don't give up. But I agree, they're slow faders for sure. I haven't really worn mine that much since I have a no blue jeans dress code at work, but they'll get more attention once school starts.

Before I got my pair, I was scared they'd be too tight, but I realize now I could've gone down a size (or two) seeing as there's way too much fabric in the crotch/waist. I know they'd shrink to a good size with a soak, but I don't want to have to keep soaking them constantly. Any suggestions?

[Solix]

I really don't think there is any but to stick with them. I got a 33 when I'm midway between the 32~33 and definitely think the downsizing would've been best. I think the fit seems to be good tho when they've stretched and settled.

[501cult]

Solix and Grouse-what you write here is music to my ears. I am ever the advocate of wearing denim tight, I think that's a strong part of the whole idea of jeans. And not rarely I get flak and unwelcome suggestions in this context.

Grouse, don't want to be a "told you so", but that's what I thought immediately when you supplied us with those (underlit) pics of your freshly arrived SEXSC06s.

And Solix, I'm sure you'd have done very well indeed with one size smaller.

But I also know, it always takes courage, if not blind faith, to make that decision at the outset. I bought mine used and soaked from another member here, a W 30, hoped for the best and was lucky. The pleasure of wearing them would be (for me, that is) cut in half if they were a size larger. I consider the two of you guys brothers in spirit!!!

maybe you can do a fit pic for us to comment on before doing anything drastic on a perfect pair of jeans?

[benz5521]

I really want a pair of these. Wish I could get some. SE still has some 36's left which I think would be too big but I might just get them anyway and wash and dry the fuck out of them.

[pennyoka]

^^^ you should be okay with that. If you hot soak and machine dry, they shrink a bunch

[benz5521]

Yea I think so. I'm wearing a pair of Sammy 5000bk's right now that I really like. They are a 34 and all I did was a cold/warm soak and hang dry and they fit really well. So I figure the 36's should be good if I do that. I'm looking at the 1947's too but the denim just doesn't seem as cool.

edit* Actually I'm not so sure. I just measured the Sam's and they are 34". I don't think the SC's can get that small.

[Guest Marw]

And Benz they stretch a ton! I wish I sized down

[benz5521]

I never have much of a problem with stretching. I buy a comfortable size so there's not a lot of pressure to stretch them.

[jackers]

These jeans do stretch out a lot. I should of sized down one.

[501cult]

Many votes for sizing down here, the staunch advocate for wearing them tight is delighted to read. Mine have stretched, not a "ton" perhaps, but noticeably.

[WillKhitie]

I really second sizing down on these as they do stretch for miles.

Mine have gone from slim to almost unwearably poofy. I'll try to post up pictures within the week before I try and give them another hot soak.

FUCK YOUU.

.. your fit is perfect.
