IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Spring Son of Light]

I'm not worried about the "pain," what frankly has kept me hesitating is the stiffness and tendency (at least from peoples photos here) to rip at the cuff or frat at the hem, etc. they cost a lot of dollars and I don't want to risk having to repair them right away. I'm a cuffer not a stacker…

Understood. What might help is an initial wash or soak to slightly soften the jeans up prior to wearing 'm hard. In hindsight, it's what I should've done.

Good to know. Your pics are quite helpful as they offer quite the meticulous documentation of ye olde 25 oz.

this fabric is God's gift to us mortals.
and Super Haraki made several models out of this.
this is the stuff of legends.

What happened? Crotch blow out? How long did they hold up before the unfortunate event?  I ask, only b/c I love the dark unwashed indigo color and also want to develop some high contrast atari (and I think I read Giles and Beetle don't wash for 6mos).

I might not soak/wash regardless (to each his own right?), but I'd still appreciate some education from a knowledgeable gentlemen like yourself (and the rocket).

Initial soak will help longevity and will not lose you any colour that will be measurable with the naked eye….

@Ponyboy312:

What happened?

Just some wear from cuffing… Reckon it'd be less had I soaked prior to wearing/ cuffing, but who knows...

Nice laces Seul!

G, any plans to get some more size 34's in stock?

[Giles]

I will rerun at some point, but I have too many of the other sizes atm, to justify a new run just yet….

So what you're saying is I've gotta either slim down or fatten up? Think I'll go get myself a pizza or two… 

[Giles]

Not exactly.  What inseam do you need?  I can get the Japanese version which have a 34 inseam…..

Hmmm, interesting - I would have gone for a 35" inseam in an ideal world but i'll have a think about it. Same price?

[seawolf]

The Japanese version in made for my long legs. No hemming necessary!

[Giles]

Same price….

The view of the beautiful pictures makes my heart beat faster! Since then I've read that the thighs of the 634S-19L are slimmer, I think I should finally buy a pair of the XHS…
