ULTRA HEAVY RAW - IH-1955-UHR, IH-666-UHR and IH-634-UHR
-
666 will likely be my next pair. If that pair is 21/23 denom that would be a win/win.
-
What ever gets made from this denim, I want it. Period.

Giles, in the 1955S thread you said that you had to make and sell at least 100 pairs of a particular jean in order to profit. Does the same math apply for this denim? For instance, does it cost you more to make 700 634S and 40 1955S, than just 740 634S? Just curious
I'm not sure I ever said "to profit", but the basic rule is, I can't make less than 100 jeans of a material/cut without pissing off the factory. I'm ugly enough to not care about pissing them off occasionally, but each time I do that, my ability to ask for favours diminishes, so I try not to…...
No, you never said profit. I just assumed that's what you meant. Gotcha
Oh, by the way, you could make a hell of a lot of coasters
-
My question is, why wouldn't he be able to make the 21/23 oz denim again? It's been made before so what's stopping him from making it again if you order it?
Fuck knows, but if H says no, I don't push back. That's just the way H and I work….If he say no, I accept it and move on
That's cool, I was just curious.
I'll take a 634 if it happens
-
I hate sounding like one of those dudes that's obsessed with leg warmer denim, but for me the 634s cut with about a half inch smaller hem would be perfection.
WURD they're perfect for my red wings. But a 1/2" tighter for my vans would be sweet.

If H can make the material, we will def do 634 and 666
great!
but just as a thought experiment:
what about IH-805 in this material?
taa -
I'm definitely in for a 634 cut in this denim.
-
…..let's do this:
in 21/23 oz Indigo denim (and with boots ;))
-
I would like to see this in 634 or BB measurements.
-
Too specialist. I'd be surprised if I could sell 15 pairs of those…..
i thought so.
but still it would a great thing.
–--------------------
634 is super and one of my favourite jeans, but i think something different would be more exiting!perhaps to specialised too, but a
21/23 oz Indigo denim in a loose style, fitted for suspenders/braces would be top notch.
taa -
no 805…don't think they'd sell. well one or two maybe.
this is quite the best idea imo...well besides the already suggested 634 and 666!
^A modified 55 cut with a lower rise, especially the front rise would definitely grab my attention … An authentic 55 FR and having a bit of a gut/belly don't mix is my experience
-
I think a 1955 with a lower rise is pretty much, what I meant when I wrote of a 634 with more taper and a hem of about 8,25" with thigh around 13" at 33/34 waist. I don't own a real 1955 repro, but all cuts I tried on including the 1944 LVC had lower rises than the Ih 1955. if the rise came down 1" (fr and br) it would be on my list (in this denim of course!).
-
I've been abstaining from this conversation because I'm not sure if I would buy what's being made with this new denim. I will throw in an observation that, as much as I love my 634S, the hem openings on my 33s are too wide for sneakers (which I rarely wear, but still it would be nice to have a jean that doesn't care what's on my feet). So I think this current line of thinking is pretty smart.
