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

[Adman103]

Yours are soft, huh?  Man, mine are still stiff as hell- although they're pretty well embedded with sweat and building dust at this point…  The denim is starting to soften up a little in the seat, and around the waist near the pockets (the high traffic areas), but the rest of it is pretty stiff.  It is really cool denim, and I love the fit of these.  Looks cool derivative!

Yes, looks great D - I love this denim too - i wasn't crazy about the fit on my 666S (tight thighs and too much ass showing) but I loved the 18oz - now that I have these, they are so much more comfortable that I sold my Devils to my bro-in-law.  It's such a great combination - these jeans in this denim are the nuts.

Nice- the ultimate Vulcans pic…  Love how the 18 oz denim shows off in that shot too...  I've said it before, and I'm sure many others have as well, but I love the differences with the 18 oz and 21 oz denim- the 21 oz is so soft, and has a beautiful sheen, but the 18 oz is rough and ready, and I can tell it's going to give up some incredible fades.  A while back Giles pointed me to the 666s thread, and I find myself drooling over some of the incredible pairs there- and the Vulcans will be just as spectacular.

Mines in the mail.  July 1st muffuggas whoohoo. 
Scared I'm not going to want to wear my mega Beatle busters as much this summer.

Your MBBs are probably cooler than the Vulcans. Tight weave=scweddy balls.

[Josh James]

Mike. I think the biggest problem is my MBB are just to big for me.  Hoping for a much better fit come Monday.

3 days of wear hoping to get a little more stretch so I can bottom the top bottom comfortably.

JJ - You have soaked these already, I assume?

[Josh James]

@Bluegrass
I did do a hot soak. And after a week of wear they fit better. Still not as great a fit as my 634sWh. I should have sized up one. 32 instead of 31 But I'm enjoying them.

Hope they keep stretching - too tight pants ain't no good - you will always lean toward your others, eventually they will collect dust in the closet…

[seanocono]

^Ain't that the truth (too tight pairs collecting dust)

[Adman103]

Mine have stretched a bit from their original post soak state- be patient, and I bet you'll be fine.  But yea, it does suck walking around with an uncomfortably tough waist…

I'm now wearing a pair of these daily in the office. The stealth arcs + modern straight + decent thigh measurements made them the pick of the litter.

[seanocono]

^Really?  I always pegged these as a bit too casual for office wear.  You know, with the leather triangle, slubby denim, and higher-contrast fades (eventually).  For what it's worth, I feel like the original 634s is the perfect office jean.

I'm not arguing with you, though.  I'm sure you wear it well, Snow Man.

[Adman103]

I was surprised at how well put together my Vulcans looked when they were clean and new-  They definitely can clean up well.  The denim is slubbier than 21 oz, of course, but still looks very lush and high end.  I wouldn't hesitate at all to dress them up and wear them to work.

[seanocono]

Cool.  Thanks for your thoughts, Adman.

@seano I may have gone with the OG 634's, but I was keen to experience a different denim (my 634s are 1.25 years old). The leather triangle's almost impossible to see(shirt covers), and when the high contrast fades come I'll likely swap them out. It takes me a VERY long time to break jeans, so I feel like they'll get a good wicket. Will eventually get photos in the office but it's a bit of a hassle unless it's a dodgy elevator shot. They're nicely fitted, I'm liking them.
