Oh no, more waiting! That sucks. We wanna see fit pic when the 30 arrives!

[Stormowl]

Well got the 30's in today.  Now we've gone from way too loose to Momotaro level tight.  Anyone experienced much stretch with these?

[Guest]

Yep. All over. Took like a month to really stretch well. I could barely walk the first week.

Thank God.  In the tub they go for a residual indigo soak and I'll get fit pics up once I get them hemmed and worn a few times.

I would not soak them they will not stay as soft, but that's just me

Yeah, I know soaking sanforized denim isn't the most popular thing to do but I find it really helps with the bleeding and any potential shrinking that remains in the fabric.

Yea, I agree. Was just saying because these seemed to get esspessially rough after they got wet. But I've washed mine twice and there pretty soft. Well relatively

By the way, if I hadnt said it before…

These things are insanely amazing.

I hope so!  I bought them because of the pictures you posted.  No joke.

Nerkg is wrong. They are LUDICROUSLY amazing.

Whooaaaa. no, link? when will it be availible to buy?

[jacoavlu]

kiya mentioned it in the self edge sufu thread a few days ago

presumably available oct 20 for the party at seny

[Guest]

so a colab? ugh

[Dirty Denim]

Nice maybe that'll be my 1st 634 cut.  I generally don't like the fit of 634's but it seams they look different on each person . The denim on these is to good to pass up and experience

[jacoavlu]

not sure it will be a true numbered collab but still likely a self edge exclusive ih jean like the 301

so nerk what troubles did you have with self edge? you don't seem to be a big fan

[xtcclassic]

I've had nothing but good experiences with Kiya and Self Edge. And this denim is too good to pass up. I'm not sure the fit could get much better than the sexihxlsxa13's though.

[jacoavlu]

the fit seems to be a love it or hate it thing. the 634 cut will appeal to more folks and the contrast stitch will give them a different character vs the 13s

[derivative666]

I was going to get the 13's until I found out about the 634 cut.

[xtcclassic]

To me it is a perfect fit. Maybe I just got lucky, but I'm happier with the fit on these than I am with my Beatle Busters. I like those too, don't get me wrong, but these just seem perfect. I guess the weird sizing issue might have led some people to get a less than ideal fit.

if the waist works for you the fit is spectacular, much better than 634 if you like slimmer top block, and lower legs perfect too, some people love the 634 cut so who am I to say but people try the 13's, you may be very surprised, like I said before, the stock photos dont do it justice at all
