IH-9634Z - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Superblack
-
I went TTS all the way with these, which is 31W. I probably could've squeezed m'self into a 30W, gotten a slimmer fit, and been fine but the amount of strech has been more than manageable.
I've had the same problems with zippers, but this one I actually feel locking on each tooth, which is new. I'm expecting it to operate like new for some time. I'd say fit pics will be soon, but
I'm blanking on it, my apologies, but "TWS"???

DAMN. The week's been this stressful already…I'm still at an utter loss.
Torrential Weather Experience? Teach Work Earn?

HAHA, it is me! Especialy with acronyms, I sometimes get really absentminded anyway. I'm actually glad to have gotten to laugh at myself. And after your edit I thought i was going bananas. Shit, this moving is really taking it's toll. Pics are forthcoming and will be in thread soon.

They're pretty bad ass. Dchill, I'm still looking forward to picking up a pair of IH634S with the button fly though.
I suppose I'm just promiscuous.Before I the 9634Z I picked up a pair of 9301 and they were so heavy that buttoning them up for the first few times actually made my knuckles cramp. That denim supposedly doesn't get any softer either, unlike the 9634Z.

Although it definitely does not get "soft", it does "soften up" and is not an issue at all. I love that IH-9634 denim! It is some seriously tough stuff.

Hmmmm, I wonder what the difference in denim construction is, cause I gotta say having been keeping the zippered superblacks on a somwhat limited rotation, they feel great. I almost bought the bootcut just to avoid the zipper, but since wearing them while cycling they've worked perfectly (smaller leg opening) and the zipper is seriouisly growing on me. I think I just like the fact that my only pair of zippered jeans is IH.
"These are the same weight as the IH9634, but the denim is a lot softer to the touch."
Giles, do you know what differences in the denim/dye produce a softer hand on these jeans?

Seek and you will find…..Answer from Haraki:
They are same denim but different finish applied. Iron Heart used to have problem with old fabric because the stiffness which created unexpected creases on the jeans and sometimes the creases caused ripping. So they changed the finishing to current finish that make look almost same but softer. That was a good modification for Japanese customers.

Very interesting Giles. So the new SuperBlack material must be more durable. Seems counter-intuitive but Haraki don't lie.

Thanks a heap for the technical explanation Giles, I love it. Half the reason IH appeals is that it's seemingly a requirement that one geek's out, as it were. And Doug, thank you for taking denim's 'crispy' qaulity to a whole 'nother level. Lol.

Anyone with this version have any updates on how the denim differs from the OG IH-9634? Thanks!

The 9634Z is displayed with a lanyard /key rein in your webstore. Does this come with the pants or is it just for the pictures? And are the 22 oz post-soak (hence the label says 21 oz in the pictures)?

Thanks for the info. The lanyard is a nice gimmick! Maybe you should put that on the page too, as motivation to buy. For me, it equals the missing buttons…
