IH-634S-B - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Overdyed Indigo

[bubbapest]

@Chris:

Well, the 21oz denim is sanforized, so it doesn't really have much shrinkage in it to begin with, but the overdye process is basically a very long, very hot wash.  After that, whatever shrinkage was left is gone.  That's why all of the overdyed products tend to run a bit smaller than their normal counterparts.

at the expense of me sounding like a complete idiot- this then means that there's no nead for soaking these things (speaking only from a constructional integrity viewpoint)

No need for it, mate.

word, thats waht i thought- just wanted to double check before messing with a 400 dollar pair of jeans

now im stoked.  going to self edge in like 3 hours… hopefully i can pick them up this weekend...

I also just got a pair of these, they're currently getting hemmed.
Can't wait to wear them this winter.

The colours on these are quite amazing. It's like a dark, dark indigo/navy/green/black all rolled into one.

self edge is a dangerous place… definitely walked out with the vest.  wallet is not happy now

Great vest man, I visited the SF store but showed pretty good restraint. My wife bribed my buddy to kick my ass if I spent over 2 bills so that helped.

Those OD´s are yummy.

so i moved in them this weekend… it was raining.  they now fit my body like a glove.  also i think the combs are pretty well set in already mainly due to the fact that they've already shrunk about an inch in length lol.  they look really good uncuffed- long time since i've had a pair of jeans i didnt cuff.

my favorite pair of jeans, ever.  48 hours.

[NorthernVictory]

They shrunk?

[Giles]

By "shrunk", I think he means the leg has reduced in length due to the combs….

[NorthernVictory]

Black rhinos extinct, global temperatures rising, overdyed goods shrinking…

OK, the world has not yet ended.

Having @dylantbmayes here has given me some much needed bandwidth to fix stuff that is not as good as it could be.  Some of the product pics are quite frankly, embarrassing, so Dylan and I are picking them off one by one.  IH-634S-B is the latest to get the Dylan treatment….

[NorthernVictory]

For these, do you prefer to size down one or stay the same as tagsize 634S?

[JCMx800]

Now I want em even more…

@NorthernVictory:

For these, do you prefer to size down one?

Generally yes, the over-dying overshrinks the denim, which stretches back out pretty quickly…

[Bluegrass]

I stayed TTS (same as 634S) and it worked out good for me, but I haven't worn these a bunch. Yet.

Are you planning a restock (W32") ?
