IH-634SV - The Vulcan - 18oz Raw Straight Cut Jean (With Hidden Pockets)

[unharmed]

OK, these are fecking awesome. Best fit (for me) of any jean I've ever tried. Definitely slimmer than my 634s. I love the 18oz denim dearly.

The leather triangle is definitely inconspicuous but it will be interesting to see if it remains so when they fade. It does make the corner of that pockets really thick so I actually found it a little difficult to get my knife in and out. Slight bending of the clip helped a lot though.

You are definitely aware of the extra material for the secret pockets in the back but not in an unpleasant way (might just be the shape of my bum).

Will do more pics when I don't feel so wretched with head-cold.

I find that a small Swiss Army knife fits really well in the side of the coin pocket.

I'm really in love with (the design on) these… Hope tons of ya buy the Vulcans... I won't cause of my XHS'es, but will admire all pics... Anesthetist: great shot mate!.. Any possibility of a likewise shot taken from the front?..

[DougNg]

I keep my Swiss Army Knife in the knife pocket in the left front. I've been keeping the fob from my car keys in the coin pocket. These are working out great for me. Fit pics soonish once I can get some natural light. It's about to dump buckets in MD

[Seul]

Looking forward to your fit pics, D!..

fit looks great mate, actually perfect in every way…and imo it's clearly visible that you are the co-designer of these

and damn man, you been working out a lot the last few months don't ya? had a different built of you in mind somehow

[DougNg]

Actually, funny story about that: I tore something awful in my shoulder. Spent a week not sleeping because it hurt so much. Tried to work out but just couldn't, not only did it hurt (like rolling on the floor pain), I had zero power out of my right shoulder (though I can usually work through pain). After a couple weeks of working out but isolating my shoulder out, I noticed a flat spot on my shoulder that used to be roundish. Figured out I ripped something at that point. I didn't want to get it scoped because I've had enough friends that have had that done and then surgery and never was the same. So been rehabbing with power yoga and kettle bells.

Think it's working?

[Finn666]

definitely working

Doug - best fit pics I've seen thus far.

That's the last straw, I'm buying these damn Vulcans.

Man, these are some look looking denim.  I was going to go for the 25 oz 634s as my second pair, but these are giving me second thoughts.

[RocknRoll]

Caved in and got a pair - hot soaking them right now.

This is my first foray into the 18oz denim, and my question: will it shrink much on a 2nd soak, or is one enough?

[Giles]

This is going to sound flip, but the truthful answer is  - not if you got all the shrinkage out in the first soak. and yeah, you won't know till the second.  But if you did it good and hot and gave it them some decent agitation,you will have got rid of most
