Gang, I have seen the light. Day 1 in the 634s 21oz. I have never felt a better feeling denim.

Happy new year, everyone! Let’s go!

This is the best first post I could think to make for this thread. I’m having myself a great day! Picked up my first two pairs today. The guys at the Osaka store are incredibly nice, and so helpful.

The nickname “Black Armor” for the 9634 is legit. Just walked the dog out in the mid 30s(F) and the wind was not getting through this denim.

TS - indigo twill
634s 21oz

Long time listener. First time caller. First wear of one of my Japan pick ups.

21oz 9634z - they aren’t kidding when they call this “black armor”. Forgive the work from home slippers. lol.

Still warm t-shirt weather in NC, despite what the foliage says. Loving these 634s even more every day.

Got the black armor 9364z on in prep for this pending “snow storm” that is headed our way in NC.

Currently two sessions in with Steve Zimonvan (Remember Me Tattoo) on my back. So stoked with how it’s looking.

Figured this 1994 unissued Romanian fleck field shirt would pair well with the 9634. Unfortunately, it’s almost too warm here to wear it today.

@WhiskeySandwich lol at Max being Max on the radio with GP, “They switched because of bad pit, HA!”

Not the best image. Will be trying to go climbing in my Y5 pair at least once a week. Kinda into it too, because it’s saving my knees from getting scraped. Gonna keep it up! Really enjoying this so far, and love seeing all the updates here and from the II instagram page.

@WhiskeySandwich just finished watching FP2 for F1….they don’t even need the rain to come in to make it spicy. The drivers and the wind are doing enough. Can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow for Quali and Sunday.

@JunkPants beat me to it @Oaktavia.

His posting has already been hilarious. The journey those poor legs are about to experience.

Really awesome seeing all the IH stuff y’all are rocking. I also saw some sadist attempting in the N&F 40oz. Oof.

Got my photos uploaded and started rocking my pair. Going a much different route with these. Rookie season got me timid.

Dipping my toes in this year. Long time listener, first time caller. Didn’t have anything on hand, as I started wearing all my new denim at the beginning of the year. Snagged a pair of 13MWZ just to see if I could actually manage getting the whole year in. If all goes well, I’m planning to invest in another pair going forward. Stoked to get the party started.

Picked up a fun souvenir at Frifth Street in London when we were in town for Oasis. Little bucket hat nod to our guy Liam.

@Jett129 that rules. I love little projects that lock us into very specific parameters. Also, that’s a fun way to shoot Ektar!

@SFMCfranky that’s awesome. I just usually only get lucky with a sky like that at the most random times.

@SFMCfranky this like those sunsets you only get to see in a grocery store parking lot on a random weekday. Gorgeous shot.
