If somebody has the Iron Heart 301S in a size 36, can you please let me know what the knee measures at 13 inches from the crotch?

Also, what would the leg opening be if I had them hemmed to a 32 (think they come as a 36, so about 4-5 inches from original hem)

KIYA,

On the 23oz. Anniversary jeans your info states that "The denim starts out as a rigid 21oz denim, once soaked the true indigo color really comes out and the post-soak weight of the denim becomes approximately 23.5oz".

How does that work? Is it because the unsanforized cotton shrinks so tight it becomes much more dense? If this is the case, does that mean the SEXIH07 will have the same effect?

Denim is weighed and rated when raw, but if it's unsanforized the denim becomes denser after being soaked in water for the firs time and therefore the weight of the denim (per square yard) increases.

If you're looking for someone to discourage you, you're seeking it in the wrong place, brother. Do it. There's plenty of things you should be moderate with (booze, girls, speeding), but jeans ain't one of them. It's a victimless crime.

Plus, it ain't like those jeans are always gonna be available...
