IH-634S-B - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Overdyed Indigo

[KrisB]

Does the black overdye make the denim less breathable?

[seanocono]

I find them to be very breathable.

[KrisB]

Do they stretch much?

[Giles]

A lot

[KrisB]

As much as the 25oz's?

[Giles]

Yes, possibly a tad more, the weave on the 21oz is looser than on the 25oz

How about a 25oz over-dyed 634?  limited to 50 pairs?

G won't do it spytech.  I've asked already but I would be all over it if he did.  Wonder if he would ever do a small batch if he got enough people interested…..

[seanocono]

I'm pretty sure that if it was easy/possible, it would have been done, already.

[Nerkg]

I'm sure it's easy, overdye is just a matter of like boiling water dye and whatever secrets they use to have it come out right, I think the problem is they lose a bunch of pairs in the process so essentially they lose money and with a small run there's probably not much wiggle room to just be trashing a bunch of pairs while overdying. I bet it would be worth it if they had a large run but OD dosent sell well so that won't happen either

[seanocono]

Nerkg, yeah, I think you're absolutely right. They lose enough of the regular 25oz, as it is. Moral of the story: buy the 634s-B. You won't regret it.

[KrisB]

The OD's are deffinatly on my to-buy list, but I was wondering if there was a pair of superblacks without the zipper?

Whaaaaaaat, an OD 25oz. That would be amazing.

Thanks for the after wash pics RedStripe.  The before and after look pretty much the same right now.  Kind of good to know.  I like my dark jeans to fade slow…..

[Giles]

OD 25oz will not happen.

@gratefulmelon:

Is there any indigo that rubbed onto your cons?

[gratefulmelon]

I'm sure there is. I normally wear boots but I don't think I own any footwear that aren't stained with indigo.

[wariosss]

sorry if this has been asked before, but are these going to stay in production for the next couple of years? Last few pictures really made me want a pair, but i bought the MBBs so i can't buy anything else for a long time…

By the way great pair gratefulmelon
