        You must have missed it in the unexpected personal attacks, but the 634SRs are made with poly thread.  As far as I know, all IH products use poly cotton.

          incorrect. sr is cotton thread, not poly, self edge description is wrong. 666s also cotton thread. 634-raw were done poly, like the 634s

              It was a welcome change to be called an eejit in such fancy words…

                  And the SR is constructed using 100% cotton unile the 634S which uses stronger poly core…..............

                  whoops while i was putting this the man has spoken.

                  but f^ck it my no delete policy & JVF hang around as we are all entitled to our own opinion

                    not always Chris, Giles had to correct me on this same question in the past. I think the self edge pages say poly thread stitch for all ih jeans

                          That's funny how people lurk for a few months and grow to dislike certain members, then when they get a response from that member, they over react.  Go to other forums and see how it is, they are not so nice.

                          PS Seul is the fucking man, nuff said.

                              JVF, Now that you know that SR's are constructed with 100% cotton thread, does it feel different against your waist?

                              had to ask, as Seul is the forum eejit, me the bad boy with nasty remarks  ???  We gotta keep to our roles  😉

                                  For starters, the stitching thread in my IH's is definitely not pure cotton! More importantly, in my posts I made only positive remarks about IH except for my dislike of the poly thread. This elicited, with the exception of the first two replies, responses that were defensive and idiotic. This forum could potentially be a place for open and intelligent discussion, instead it is a closed-house of self-congratulary remarks and insular bigotry. A shame Giles! Especially when you post with such equanimity. So unfortunately my brief experience leaves me to conclude that this thread, at least, is dominated not by IQ but IH: Ignorant Halfwits!

                                    Now you're talking El, these are the jeans that I have the most experience with. What would you like to know? These are my observations…

                                    1. They shrink ALOT, it takes a couple of hot soaks and a wash to get all the shrinkage out. They shrink more in leg length than any other jeans I've ever had.

                                    2. The denim does not retain it's indigo very well at all, high contrast fading is order of the day with these bad boys.

                                    3. The crotch stitching seems to hold up better on these than any other Samurai's I've had.

                                    4. The cut is just about perfect in my opinion, a real straight, slim cut.

                                    5. The slubbiness really develops over time, and with washes.

                                        Man, that sounds exciting…

                                        So after shrinkage, do they stretch back to pre-soak measurements in the waist?

                                        and how much inseam shrinkage did you experience?

                                        Cheers Gav!

                                          The shrinkage on these is odd, they lose more on the waist than normal, but do regain most of it with wear. The leg length is gone for good though, I would honestly advise cuffing with these rather than hemming.
