    @indigo_nico

    in a previous like i was a bike messenger in chicago, “indigo” was my radio handle. seems oddly fitting here now. that life gave way to a professional cycling career eventually where i raced all over the world with a red bull helmet on. these days i still race, but less competitively and work in marketing for a cycling component company. in between race seasons i toured extensively playing guitar in a rock and roll band, and on occasion still make noise in front of an audience. i have great admiration for makers of quality things, which is how i wound up here.

      finally, the temps in chicago are perfect for the ihj-114-blk. also day 39 of the ih-634s-uhr.

    • RE: IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

      pulled the trigger on some 634s-uhr and i am beyond stoked on these!

      the cuffs are huge, yes, but i dig the style. will likely get them hemmed at some point, but i love a big ol' rockabilly cuff.

      since this forum was a huge help in finding the right fit for me, below are my pre and post soak/wash measurements done the IH way... (in inches with silly american fractions haha)

      @VVV my wife and I saw them do a free show outdoor show a few blocks from our place at the Logan Square Monument in Chicago back in 2015. they played "into ruin" from miserable and stretched it way the f out. it was so good. we twisted up a few fat ones and got stupid high and they steamrolled right over us.

      @Jeansman hell yeah, bet you’re stoked they are finally seeing some action. did you skip the initial soak/wash? i’ve heard its necessary with UHR so the fibers set. mine stretched back to pre-soak measurements in the waist pretty quickly and are legit perfect now. i haven’t done any wash besides the initial yet, but will likely sometime after day 60 or so. looking forward to seeing the fades!

      the mezcal rabbit hole is deep too if you like to nerd out. look up a spirit called “sotol,” it’s made similar to a mezcal but not with cactus in the part of mexico my family is from. sipped neat it is glorious.

      @mclaincausey valtteri is great and a total ripper on the bike. i’ve gotten to ride with him and tiff a lot through work and they are both great people. got to kick it at his place in lahti when i first visited a couple years ago. honestly sometimes i think he enjoys cycling more than driving haha.
