4" of shrinkage?  I don't even get that when I take a cold shower.

[Giles]

There is not 4" of shrinkage.  You'll get an inch or 2 at the most.  What I want is that post soak, the hem width at an inseam of 34 is the same as if we made them 34.  So if we hem them to 34 they will be normal width for that waist size/model.

ahhhhhhh, okay.  thank you for dumbing down the explanation. was lost on your mondayness.

will be patiently watching this space . . . .

@Giles:

My specs for the 634SI:

I would like these to be delivered RAW with an inseam of 38", but I would like the "correct" IH-634S hem size to be at 34" (pre soak) inseam length.

Yes!!!

Any update on these G-San?

Just seen this now, but a raw inseam of 38" would give around 36" post-soak. That works for me, as I tend to like about a 35" inseam.

I'd better get saving.

No change from whatever last update was…..

Apart from Alex came around in his last week and they were/are stellar......

[Chris]

A super limited edition run of these with those leftover silver rivets you found would be very, very nice.

[Giles]

I think it would be limited to 1…..Is that limited enough?  But it is a great idea.  I will chat to H about what the minimum quantity to make is....

[Chris]

Yes.  If they're a 634 and in a size 34 and added to my stack, that would be a perfectly sized run.

[Seul]

666 sz. 32 and sure: I'll take it… What the hey...

[Chris]

Tell you what; you gain some weight, I'll lose some, and we'll take joint custody of a pair in size 33.

[Seul]

Gàin some weight?.. You a funny malaka…

[Giles]

I have just spoken to Haraki.  Minimum run would cost be USD10,500 - not going to happen in a hurry…..

[sombrero]

When can we expect these to drop?

[JCar2666]

^Any sort of update would be lovely

[mclaincausey]

I hope these happen. UHR doesn't make much sense right now but I don't have anything with an indigo weft.

@sombrero:

I was given the first sample of the IH634-SI by Haraki this weekend.  Doing a shrink test now, then I can confirm with H final numbers for both 666 and 634.  Then it will be about 3 months.  G

Is 555-SI still possibly happening?
