The SEXIH03, a pair of jeans collaboratively designed by Self Edge and Iron Heart, is apparently the first of its kind to be tailored with cyclists in mind. Made in Japan from apparently the world’s heaviest weight denim, it offers special features like 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, spring -oaded clip metal key fob hanging from the front belt loop, reinforced crotch rivet, crotch cross-stitch an inch forward to delay crotch blow-outs and for rider comfort, rear pockets sized to fit a mini U-Lock, higher rise in the back, and lower rise in the front for maximum comfort and mobility. Only 125 pairs of the selvedge indigo model and 25 of the non-selvedge black model were made available at a suggested retail price of $360. More
