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

[Jek]

No doubt! I'm gonna tame these bastards though…

[Jek]

Hike got a little muddier than expected today.

[Giles]

I'm thinking of re-running these without the leather knife protector on the front pocket.  Basically the Vulcan V2, would you guys prefer that?  Basically it would be a 18oz version of the 634S….

fwiw, if i were to get the vulcan, which I will in the future, Ill go with the leather protector..

[Finn666]

a vulcan sans leather protector isn't "a vulcan" …

[Giles]

Still a load of knife options, but the leather patch puts a shit load of people off.

[Finn666]

^for whatever reason that is…

[Giles]

IMO.  The 634S cut in 18oz unsanforised should sell like crack…...But the Vulcan does not (and I have 200 patches to use)....

[Finn666]

well then it's a no-brainer for me, no…

Yes, please!

[madmonday]

can someone put up images of a well lived in pair of these?  curious to see how the knife protector looks after some use. thank you

I beat the hell out of mine for about 10 months before I couldn't wear them anymore because my legs got too thick from working out. They are a more slim cut of the 634S which are already a slim cut for me

I'll post up pics of mine when I get a bit more sunlight though my living room windows

Giles is right, the patch turned a lot of people off (not sure why, the patch is pretty subdued), but if you do away with the leather patch on the outside, I would recommend putting a patch of denim on the inside of the pocket with the same profile.

I'm toying with the idea of getting another pair sized up to accommodate my legs, and I wouldn't have to worry about a loose waistband because I would be tucking a weapon in my waistband

[Giles]

Doug, the idea of the patch on the inside is great.  Thanks…....G

I d love to see these without leather triangle!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Max Power]

Never was a fan of the leather triangle, too. But then, I also don't carry around knives, brass knuckles and firearms. Must be doing sth. wrong.

[Seul]

As if there's something wrong with carrying a knife (or a gun, for that matter, but I can understand the negative connotations of that, best example being the US  )…

[Josh James]

I just ordered my second pair.  I don't have a problem with the leather triangle. And yes they are slimmer and seem to have a slightly lower rise. I sized up this time. I'll let y'all know what I think.
Might be forselling my size 31x 31. They fit me but tight.
Effe loosing weight. I'll buy the next size up. Ha

[hectic]

I wore mine a whole bunch, the leather provides nice contrast - what's not to like?

The patch doesn't do anything for me. Love the 18oz - love the fit.  Don't understand why they don't sell better.
