….and Alex says this denim is the most unforgiving and brutal that he has experienced....

@Giles:

Alex doing what he was told to do with these…...

He was told to go boating?

The jeans are looking great.

@Giles:

I gave them to Alex last night (who is about 1.5" smaller in the waist than me) with the instructions (in Anesthetist's words) "to beat the snot out of 'em"

I shouldn't attempt humour after 10 beers. Time for bed.

I saw this sample pair on the Iron Heart Instagram and was thrown off by the different pocket stitching.  After finding this forum thread, I'm really excited to see how the production model turns out.

Definitely interesting stuff!

Man, now I need to decide if I should go with the 634-UHR or these in the 634…
Decisions, decisions. At least I know its a win / win situation

[fanya]

Both.

I'm lucky the 634uhr is the last of the three being released, stagers the money going out.

I asked Haraki to make this denim this morning.  I got the following response "I've already started".  I guess he knew there was never any doubt…

I did say that Jeans made from this denim would be more expensive than Indigo warp/white weft.  This is because both the weft and the warp need to be rope dyed, which doubles the cost of the dying part of the manufacturing process.  I now have some handle on that, expect the indigo/indigo jeans to be approx USD375 - USD385 depending upon model.

Alex update.  Alex again asserts that this is the toughest denim he has yet had to break in - I'm thinking that this may be that the indigo dyed weft is inherently stiffer than the plain weft...

I'm getting way excited…

Giles my man, thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'm going to have to let a few things go to grab a pair or two? Maybe it's already been mentioned, release date?

Beer level excitement?

[Seul]

Defo!..

[Giles]

I'm working on that with Haraki at the moment….

I do not want to release it until we have dropped the trifecta of UHR cuts, so I think late summer for the first cut, the other cuts being dropped at 6-8 week intervals (well that is the plan)….

[davidl890]

Sounds good looking forward to your updates, prolly grab a pair of this and UHR. If the cut is right of course, it's gonna b a good year.

UHR 666'es and these - as planned… 

[JCar2666]

Ahhh G that's too late for the first cut in these.  You're killing me.  I can't wait that long….

[Giles]

Sooooooooooooooo sorry…..

+1 for 555/666. Timing works, might be able to shoehorn them into birthday season.

Any pictures of indigo/indigo fades?  I know this is IHs first, I think, but are there other examples out there?
