                On the left is the 21/23oz IH634SR denim, on the right the 21oz 634S denim and in the middle the new 18oz …G

                  OK, random question: what's the ratio of 634S to 9634/9634Z's out there?

                    No idea accurately, but I would reckon 634S sell 10:1 to the superblacks and  many more 9634 to 9634Z (but simply because they have been sale for years rather than momths).  G

                      The 634SR owners seem to be a quiet crowd – though I know they're out there.

                        ^ I meant overall ratio of blue to black( I grouped the two versions together). My uneducated guess would be that the 634s is more popular?

                          has anyone ordered off Rakuten before? if so, do they charge a lot for shipping to the US? for example of pair of 9634s

                            Of course, I am biased and I have no idea what it costs to ship from a Rakuten store.  But if you get your size wrong, you'r e in big trouble.  Order from me of Self Edge (or most of my other retailers) and if you screw it up - no probs…G

                              Appreciate it, Giles. And I would order from you, but I found a place that has a pair 9634 with button fly. And for some reason, I'm really set on getting the button fly version.

                                Every pair of IH jeans is hand-made so sizes vary. As the owner of several pair of IH jeans, I can tell you that some W28s fit like W29 and so-on….you simply cannot trust tag size.  The latest W29 BootCuts Giles sent me were weirdly too small -- couldn't even button up. So, Giles is right...returns aren't accepted.  I've never tried ratuken myself, but...I know many Samurai lovers use ratuken the most because it's the only way they can get arcs and tabs. BIG doesn't do arcs & tabs.  That said, I often see people trying to sell brand new, BNWT (Brand New With Tags) Sams on SuFu because the measured size came out unexpected -- too big or too small. And it seems like the ratuken buyers can never get back even close to what they paid -- they usually have to knock off $100 at least. So, they spent $400 with Ratuken and can only get $250 for BNWT jeans. Even if you have to return something to Giles or Kiya, you end up ahead financially.

                                I can certainly see the motivation for ratuken, if you love Samurais. BIG just doesn't do arcs and tabs, which sucks.

                                      The guy who owns it is "Gordon" ? Dunno. I've never dealt with him but he's the Kiya of Samurai. He's the sole distributor of Sams or some shit. Beatle would know more…

                                        Yes Gordon is the Owner of BIG (Blue In Green). What does any of this have to do with anything? I was responding to Shubs statement because it neither asks or responds to a "Random question which you seek the answer"…...... I continue with  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

                                            I'm thinking of coming – with Mom. I want to meet Giles, Paula and Kiya.  Perhaps LandoCal knows ?
