Elhaus
-
Thanks to Gavin and Jon I received my hall of fade prize, the Elhaus 20 oz handwoven nautral dyed Jeans. I must say, this is the most unique fabric I own and really heavy. Interesting details on all ends.
Measurements of size 34:
Waist 85 cm
Thigh 31,5 cm
Inseam 85 cm
Hem 22,2 cm
I like the fit, however it's a bit tight in the top block. Not the waist, rather the hip. I figure nobody will have experience with it, but will they stretch a bit?
Anyway, if anybody is looking for a special pair - this is it. The colour reminds me of the Nudie Veggies, just not green- but redcast.
-
I think they will stretch some. I've only worn my pair a couple of times, but the denim seems really loose.
-
Yes, I thought the same, Thanks. What size do you have?
-
Same as you- 34. I'm borderline 33/34, so I chose to be safer and get the 34. My thighs thank me.
Oh, I washed my pair to get rid of some of that flatness that makes them look like a boot cut. That led to a bit of shrinkage, but I think they've already returned to original measurements after only one or two wears.

That colour is amazing Max Power - congratulations, and thanks for the great pictures too.
In my opinion, the fit in the top block looks very good in your photos, so I hope these work out for you and we get to see the evolution in future.
-
Thanks guys. I think I can risk to stretch them out, even if I have a gigantic muffin top when I sit down. The denim should allow some stretch and the rest is pretty much on spot. That's why I prefer raw denim -you know exactly, wether the jeans will fit after soaking and stretching (but I know I'm pretty alone with that sentiment). Will try to take better pictures today.

Great looking jeans there. I'm really digging the fabric and the cut looks good on you.

Hi, I'm Raven from elhaus. A friend from our Indonesian thread in Darahkubiru.com shot me a link to this site, so here I am
max power Amazing man, great fit, hope you are liking your pair greatly. I saw your pics on sufu, but sufu was too crowded for me to comment in hahaha

Great fit! Although you have, like me, a bootcut-like look. I assume this will go away with time. Please tell me how if you get some stretch, as I need to loose some bellyweight to make my pair work.
-
Any more pics or impressions guys? I am really liking these, though the thighs are borderline too small. Have any of you worn them much. Thoughts?
-
I like them. I am usually a 34, and went for these 36 (NoKipple picked out a "smaller" 36 for me), because I don't really like heavyweight denim that is also tight anywhere. After a few weeks of wear, I think a 34 might have worked too, hard to say–I'm happy with the 36. Wearing them most days this winter, and if I can find my camera I'll take a pic. They are very comfortable early on, a pleasure to wear, feel great. Yes, the buttonholes are a bit loose, but then again my thumbs are thankful.

I went with 34 (my normal size) and am struggeling with the thighs…if you're interested in a swap, feel free to PM me.

Might be worth a thought. I'll PM you. Thing is, when I sit, the thighs seems perfect. Don't want them any tighter. When I stand and am moving around, it's a little looser fit, workmanlike, a bit extra in the seat, etc., little wider silhouette (as the term goes). The only things I have this heavy are IH634S-B (34W), which I have a lot of wear on and feel, fit great. Can move, work, sit, and they still look good as just jeans, my IH-461S, which are a whole different fit/cut and not really comparable (but just as great as the 634S-B), and the SteelFeather 210z, which is slim, tight in thighs, and made me realize I do not want anything heavyweight that's tight in thighs again, although I like them and wear them and understand over time they will soften and feel fine, one (once) is enough…The Elhaus though is such a different weave, so different altogether than anything else I've worn, it's like it's own category (in a way, I think the IH 21oz sanforized, no matter what the cut, is like nothing else as well).
I wear most of my jeans in wider openings esp 30's to 50's cuts
