IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Finn666]

i just think it has to do with the thickness of everything…

just think about sewn in beltloops on a 25oz pair of jeans...sewn in beltloops would actually be like sewing 3times 25oz denim on top of eachother (correct me if im wrong!)...so the cut doesnt matter at all imo...

so i just can quote this for truth as i saw it in person yesterday as well...
@Giles:

Despite my pronoucements top the contrary earlier.  Thes jeans have fully lined rear pockets and belt loops sewn into the waistband.  I have just realised when Haraki says "impossible", it really means, "yes I can probably do that…..."

and just think about that this was the first time a needle actually broke during the sewing process…so you know what`s going on

@jimmy:

Knowing how productions work I don't think these have the belt loop sewn in or back pocket lined either G. The devils will because they have those features already built in that pattern. But seriously no that this fabric needs either but just want to get the facts right.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

You are quite correct.

So to correct all my previous cock-ups….

666-XHS and 666--VMC have lined rear pockets and belt loops sewn into waist band.  The 634-XHS and 634-VMC do not

I will put these up in the IH UK site when I get them.  G

Jimmy owns and runs LOFT in New Zealand…..

damn…i might had one or two beers to many then

[Giles]

Haraki actually made the people sewing the bar tacks on the belt loops wear goggles.  It was the first time he has seen exploding needles…...

Hi guys

After an incredible 700 people party from VMC last night in Zuerich I just got my 25 oz VMCIH-634 W32/L 34 at the VMC Store this morning:

And I can tell you that after 38 years of collecting raw denim rags  I have seen many, many  jeans in my life.

But when I tried those 25 oz bastards on, there was like entering a new world!!!

As usual I'm always wearing my denim stuff a little bit too big.

And I have to shout it out loud:

They are unbelievable!!!

I really have to repeat this: Unbelievable!!!

Although heavy stuff, they're feeling quite comfortable at my body.

And I'm feeling so honored, that I got my pair with a hand signature from the big master Haraki San

My raw denim heart is just rocking at the moment

[Finn666]

^so hopefully it won`t stop rocking mate

so like always…you do know we want to see some pics

you gonna wear these or just for the museum...?

another question: how many Franken are the VMC pairs in retail guys?

[Megatron1505]

Ha ha, I'm just surprised that Rudi doesn't carry a bag to put his jeans in, incase of rain.

[rocket]

who said he didn't?

Too scared to actually check

[Finn666]

hahaha so you just bought without knowing the price?

[Morose_Penguin]

I don't think I ever saw a price tag on any of the Anniversary stuff, so yes :).

The receipt says vintage 400.00, which converts to around £280-ish. Which to my way of thinking is pretty decent.
