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

[mclaincausey]

I'm begrudgingly wearing a cuff today because I've not hemmed my 634S yet. Now I'm going to be kissing some sweet roping goodbye when I do #idiot.

I am firmly in the "no cuff" camp and think the hikers look fine either way.

No cuff for me either

I never, ever wear cuffs, but I like the pic with them.  Giles mentioned that he tries to show the denim with various types of footwear to give customers a broader perspective, and I think this fits in nicely with that idea.  Lots of people like cuffs, so maybe an occasional shot of cuffed denim in the store is a good thing.

I always cuff. Everything.

Everything…

Belgians are so weird.

[Seul]

Always…

@Seul:

Everything…

I get it! Second re-read

[Snowy]

and on cuff v no-cuff, thank you all up there for some balanced views. I nearly always cuff, but most of the time don't mind jeans on others either way.

I cuff if I need to.  I didn't have my Vulcans hemmed, so I cuff them, but I'm starting to wear my 634S uncuffed, and I'm liking it…  generally, I dig cuffs, but I'll wear both looks.

You're killing me man

Dug these out and I'm glad I did. These might just be my best pair and I really love the knife pockets.

First wash right at 7 months
Rotating with two other pairs of iron hearts.
One initial soak and one soak a couple months back

Better pictures

Knife fades on the back pocket are looking sick.  Coming along great!
The Vulcans are my favorites at this point.  I'm waiting till all of the snow that's been dumped on Chicago melts away for my second wash- that should represent about 9 months of wear.  The bottom cuffs are crusted over in salt right now, so I'm looking forward to the 18 oz changing from its current stiff-as-a-board encrusted state to actual fabric again.

[Adman103]

I'm amazed how much the 18 oz denim breaks in- my Vulcans didn't flinch for several months of hard wear, but now they've turned into a beautiful tough/soft state.

after their first wash. Still feel relatively stiff. These have been the most
Stubborn jeans ever and I love it.

Nice. Esp. those fades on your back pocket. Folder and fixed blade

[Jek]

Just gave mine their first wash, 6 months deep. These are so dang stubborn, there's very little fading still at this point. JoshJames, yours are looking very nice. Keep beating 'em hard (that sounded wrong) and keep us updated!

Was late leaving the office today as I was busy starting at these. 8 months in I think by now, getting ready for their next wash.
