What is your favorite IH denim.
-
21/23oz Raw
All time favorite. Thick and hairy, which is weird, because I normally don't prefer something like that wrapped around my legs…
-
Loving the 23oz SExIH 634s
-
I have only worn mine around 5 times, which is a travesty. The denim really is nice though.
-
634XHS
been wearing mine almost daily for a year -
^ I suspect that if SE had released that cut without the Indonesian elements, it would have been more popular. Imagine if they had had a "For the pinnacle of society" design patch etc…
-
The Indonesian elements? The only thing specifically Indonesian is the patch, which is pretty low key in real life and easily covered anyway.
They are beautiful jeans and the denim is fantastic. I hope Self Edge does another model with it, since I believe they designed it and have exclusive rights to the use of it.

What about the SExIH07 19oz denim and the 16oz TW denim? No love for these?
I LOVE the 19oz denim…my Indo's are awesome. One of the most under-rated IH jeans (for reasons which baffle me).
Not underrated. They are not for sale, sold out and there not making them anymore so why would anyone know about them

Not sold out yet- about a dozen pairs left in small and large sizes. That means there are nearly 200 pairs out there in the world, and have been for over a year (they were released in October 2011). Sure most went to Indonesia, so that gives them a lower profile than if they were all sold in the US, but we've got loads of Indonesian members.
I expected the SEXIHXINDO thread to have more than 10 pages, which is less activity than other slow selling/low volume models like the grey and white 634s and the 1955. I think "underrated" is a reasonable label.
Or maybe I'm just bitter that my pair didn't fit and I had to sell them…

I have all of the above mentioned denims except the SE versions and love all of them in their own way. My entry into the IH world was their flagship 634S in the great 21oz and I believe this to be the most versatile. But again I do love all of the different weights depending of which jeans I catch in the morning or change during the day

I would also have thought that the length of the thread is a reasonable indicator of the 'buzz' around a particular product, and am also surprised that the Indo has only made 10 pages. Compare this to the SExIH07, which is a very similar cut made from the exact same denim, which has a 48 page thread in which everyone raves about how great they are.
I do wonder (as Sugar Mtn said) if the Indonesian element affected the way some people viewed the product.
As a side note, the Indo cut is very similar to my Vulcans, which there is clearly a reasonable buzz around.
Either way, it's interesting from a marketing viewpoint.
Bottom line is that the 19oz denim is probably my favourite, but it's so damn hard to decide!
