Holy crap! That's like $7000 worth of jeans! You're like the Nelson Rockefeller of awesome pants.

$7000??? Argggh :o :o :o :o…. no, about $2000-2300 in the last 12 months... And consider that now I'm done for the rest of my life. You're just beginning...

Matt

It's a shame you're so svelte, I'd consider taking those 301s off your hands…

georgeel

I said MAYBE one day i will [sell them]… Actually I'd rather trade them.

@georgeel:

Sorry, morohoshi, no fades at all on mine…

I've only worn them for one month, more or less. They were the first IH in my life, took them from SE, and I never been totally satisfied with them. They are too relaxed in the upper side and too tight from knee to cuff, do not work with my legs.

Then I bought my beloved 666Sod, kings of slim fit jawnz... And 634S, that everyone of us should have in our wardrobe... And then 634sr, but they were last pair of the stock, so Giles made me a special prize... And then BB01sbg (who don't have a black pair of jeans?), and then BB01RAW, because they were too cool.
And finally I took my IH-666XHS, you know way I did it....

so now, my 301S sleep on a shelf. I also thought about selling them, and maybe one day I will.

wow you got a lot of pairs! 301S' were my first pair of iron hearts as well
i actually really liked the 301S cuz the tight knee to cuff which is the only reason why im not completely satisfied with the 666's but i still love them. ill probably just get the 301S 07BK next!

19oz raw denim, un-sanforized, overdyed! Very intersting!

morohoshi.

yeah i wish they were heavier though!!

Gave my 301s a good hot soak….. water looked amber/brown

@morohoshi.:

yeah i wish they were heavier though!!

the 19oz denim is probably more like 21oz post soak, tighter weave than the sanforized 21oz IH denim, and the 301s07bk overdyed on top of that so in the end these "feel" quite heavier than a pair of regular 301s

Hi , planned to get a 301s but i need to clarify one thing.

if it´s just the waist measurements you´re worrying about i would say yes, since these stretch like hell in the top block…

Haha when you said it like that it make me feel like getting a 31 instead so it will be much more skinner from the knee onwards down

Finn666

just take a pair of well fitting pants, measure them and compare the measurements…best you can do!

Hmm hahas ok thanks for the advice !

Fit pics and measurements as requested by Shoreman

Measurements:
Inseam - un-hemmed 36
LO - 7.5
Knee - 7.75
Thigh - 11.25
Waist Flat - 31.5
Waist Stretched - 32

Opinion:
Love the top block fit the rise is perfect for me, not to high not to low. The main issue I have w/ these jeans is that there a little too tight on the calve area, and the diaper ass effect I have going on.

Ill grab some outside pics on a better day.

Seul

You want me to be honest (gonna be honest anyway): that is a fucking BRILLIANT look… I know it won't change your mind on the fit but these pics will have me looking into these jeans again... Always thought they were too slim and too tapered... The stacks on these are GLORIOUS...

Matt

I also look at these every so often, partly because of the price, but mostly because of the fit. Sometimes I look down at my 666 and think the calves and leg openings are too billowy. These would look great w/ a pair of blucher mocs and an overly complicated belt buckle.

You've just sold me on a pair of 301s and proved to me that the model on SE does absolutely nothing for this cut. That's exactly what I am looking for, slim but a little relaxed in certain areas. I think I'd go for a hem, but not too much.

Seul

To be honest most IH fits on SE are really poor…

Onairda, perfect fit!!

Hey thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

Shoreman, If you want I can take some pics of the Beatle Busters you sold me for a side by side. Also these are def. the tightest jeans around the knee area for me, so the combs really pull in tight behind your knees when your sitting down. It takes awhile to get used to especially when the denim is stiff.

But yeah, these have not seen much action lately. I've been trying to get more into the fuller cuts. I thinks since I've been breaking in my busters my opinions have changed. I flip flop on denim cuts all the time, as long as there not skin tight or sagging off my ass.
