Self Edge x Iron Heart Cycling Jeans

Self Edge x Iron Heart 03 cycling jeans were released on November 24th, 2007, giving precedence to fashion and functionality toward cycling enthusiasts who have issues with durability and longevity. Iron Heart is known by Japanese denim aficionados as one of the heaviest jeans per square yard. Using 21oz. Zimbabwe cotton to manufacture their denim, Self Edge has streamlined various aspect of the rise and fit to accommodate your junk while shifting around on your saddle.

Made in Japan from the world’s heaviest weight denim coming in at twenty-one ounces per square yard.

-21 ounce Sanforized Selvedge Japanese Denim
-Dark Indigo Stitch Half Arcuate Pocket Design
-Reinforced crotch rivet

-Crotch cross-stitch moved 1” forward to delay crotch blow-outs and for the comfort
of the rider
-Rear pockets placed .75” farther to the outside of the jeans to avoid sitting on
anything stored in the pockets
-Rear pockets sized to fit a mini U-Lock
-Higher rise in the back, lower rise in the front for maximum comfort and mobility
-Extra belt loops at the rear of the waistband to avoid torn loops from backpack
usage and to prevent the pulling down of the waistband if a belt is worn while riding

You should see some of the reactions from the Internet bike community at large… kind of funny.
