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

[MikeC]

I got 2in shrink out of the inseam, but I hand agitated like crazy on both hot soaks. The first hot soak/hand agitation definitely didn't get all the shrink out, but I think the second one did.  The area around the fly and including the fly didn't shrink at all really on the first soak but shrunk a bit on the second, once I paid attention to the area.  If I didn't get that shrink out, my whiskers would have looked like I sized up 2.

I'm up early, to bust Euro balls. Ask G…..

that's what I thought

[injunjack]

Eli go for it.

If you don't like them I can take them off your hands for a ridiculously low price

(being broke helps things as somebody said…)

[Seul]

How's the rise on these?.. Going by measurements, the back rise is 1" lower than the 666-XHS?..

[injunjack]

well, at least there isn't much shrinkage in that area, according to MikeCs postsoak measurements…

[unharmed]

I don't have the 666-XHS but it's certainly significantly higher than my 18oz 666s in the same size. Feels higher than my standard 634s as well but that may just be because they're slimmer.

Just contacted Mrs Padmore to take a 200 $ downpayment for the navy duck 816… Staying focused on that one item... As Jack said: the Vulcans are extant, might pick 'm up later on 

So Rafa: you'll have to find someone else 

[Seul]

Eli, you have sent €155,00 EUR to Iron Heart / Triple Works.

Proud of myself 

[Finn666]

just went through the whole thread and browsed enough other pairs on the board. here i am back in this mofo…fekk, this ain´t no good sign!

[Seul]

Yeah - I've already made up my mind… If these go extinct, I'm copping immediately... If not: they'll be my next pair...

[RocknRoll]

Very disciplined, Seul. Madam must be impressed with you. 

Hmmm, I forgot about your fixation with rise. The rise might be the only thing you don't like about the Vulcans - it's not what you'd call "low rise" at all, but is significantly lower than the 666XHS reference stick.

Anyway looks like you've made a decision for now…plenty of time to ponder this in the future.

[Finn666]

mooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaareeeee pics please!

[Anesthetist]

Starting to show the lightest amount of fade…

[Finn666]

damn damn damn…i really think these gonna be my next pair! 

for the guys that own both, the 634s(-raw) and these...would you say the topblock is exactly the same?

Assuming that the measurements of the SR and the RAWs are the same, the front rise is the same on the Vulcans

[DougNg]

Rear rise is 0.5" shorter on the Vulcans than the SR

[Finn666]

thanks a lot Doug…doesn´t need that much to sell me on these i believe!

[injunjack]

and SRs and RAWs are different….

[unharmed]

OK. My only gripe with these is that the secret pockets make it really fecking difficult to slide anything into the back pockets. Wallets, bits of paper etc. etc. just catch on the lip of the hidden compartments. I want to sew up the openings of the hidden ones on one side: specialist job or any alterations tailor will do?
