@satar

It's a Levi's 505 black label. That's why im asking if it's selvedge or not.. Not those japanese brand one blush.gif
I bought size 34 not knowing it'll stretch..and now stretched i think up to 1.5inch rclxub.gif Also i didn't hemmed it and it's a bit longer to my liking. Thinking of hemming it and also tapering a bit the leg but not sure yet if it's a good thing to do.

Now im planning to get a pair of indigo raw selvedge but not sure of the cutting yet.

Here's some crappy cam fit pic's and any comments appreciated icon_rolleyes.gif

its probably one of the best denim brand in indonesia
check also elha.us and akaime denim

Thanks for the link kevin...

Promising. No wonder Self Edge did a IH collab for those Indonesian. They deserve it rightly. Given Singapore and Thailand are on their remarkable pace themselves, us Malaysia will surely 'Tak Boleh' one.. But im giving our beloved country maybeeeee..... 3-5 more years.. to be at least where those guys are today.

Now back to work.. I need more money to spend on new denims and hardwares....

I visited the web today, even people sewing/cutting at home can produce and sourced high quality denim notworthy.gif
Why our local denim industry cant do the same hmm.gif blows me ...

Maybe they assume there'll be no potential market. sweat.gif

Anyway, back to www.jeansmaker.com. Why do they put ironheart 'busters' image there? The construction of the web itself resembles ironheart uk site... rclxub.gif

Any of you guys ever bought from self edge b4? Do they provide us with tracking no. should we buy from them.

I read somewhere they are using global priority for international orders but with no tracking no. provided.

My Q is then how are we going to have a check on it ? Appreciate the help.

bought my imperial from them, n they do provide tracking no.only took 7 working days to arrive. lost parcel from self edge is the least thing u need to worry about, they provide excellent customer service.

hmm.gif Im getting this from Self Edge, any idea or is it their new policy?

Thanks for shopping with us today.
All online orders shipped to America are shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
All items shipped outside of America are shipped via Global Priority Mail
(GPM). International orders take 4 to 9 days to arrive anywhere in the
world, any delay past 9 days would be caused by your local customs office.
There is no tracking available for international orders.

Bro alzaim i'd advise you go to self edge web and check their measurement there.. smile.gif

It's for a tts 29 and 30 also keep in mind +/- stretching after many wears also soaking in either cold/warm or hot tub... Just sayin'

some proper pictures of my new momotaro japan blue JB0701

tag size : 30
waist : 31.8 (my true waist is 32)
front rise : 10.5
back rise : 13
thigh : 11.2
inseam : 31.5
leg opening : 7.5

hoping that the final waist would stretch out by 0.5inch and thigh by 1.0inch after few wears.will they?look how my fat thighs fit into this jeans

well,i'm not gonna wear this too soon..maybe after my N&F reach 6 months of wears  rolleyes.gif

that's the problem with momotaro and japan blue momotaro alike, it's not made for guys with big thighs like us sad.gif

The waist stretch is the least you need to worry about, i recon it's gonna stretch to at least your TS. But mind you the thigh area is going to need lots of effort and patience, but still doable nod.gif also you still hv plenty of time til June to figure out the best way possible to stretch that beautiful jeans of yours rclxm9.gif

After wearing it for a few hours i dont think 21oz denim is not meant for our weather.. It's amazingly breathable and soft... Damn!!!! ( Specifically for Iron Heart, have yet to own any other 21oz denim)
