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

[Giles]

After 6 years on the IH-634S selling at USD320, we have made the decision that we need to raise the price, mainly in response th the super strength of the Japanese Yen.  Sorry folks - but just had to be done.  From now on they will retail at USD350.  G

Sounds reasonable since the the strengthening JPY to USD was at about ~120:1 compared to ~80:1 now.

Been trying to stretch my pair this past weekend and man is it tough!

It had to happen..unavoidable

Are the other products going to be price-increased too? And if so, by about the same percentage?

Trying not to.  But I suspect there will be a little price creep on some stuff.  But I promise you, I will keep any increases as tiny as poss

You will be ok. The 634s'es will be TIGHT at first, but they'll stretch, so no wories!..

[Beatle]

Hello, are the threads  from the back pocket easy to remove in the 634s? I would like a clean backpocket like in other japanese brands, but I dont want to leave ogly holes or anything like that, so is this a possible thing to do without bein noticeable at all?

kind regards

[Giles]

Yes, no problems.  You will initially see some "scarring", but within a few wears, you will see nothing.  G

[Flash]

if there new and unsoaked remove before soaking ,then whatever marks are left will close over with the inital shrinkage

[Giles]

Flash, they are sanforised and thius dont need a soak to shrink…G

[Flash]

i know mate i just allways soak my jeans to remove the starch and whatever shrinkage is left

[Seul]

My 634s'es only felt kinda stiff right after the soak I did… 

[maltess]

Ok, so I wont see anything at all after either a soak or a few wears? otherwise I prefer to keep the treads, I am little obssesed with small details and I dont think I could resist "scarring" in a pair of expensives jeans like this

[daveo]

Planned restock on these?  Same time the BB come in (mid to late Nov from looking at another thread)?

[Giles]

634S?  I have arriving on a weekly basis….Next batch mid next week....G

My first pair came today, hemmed on the Union by Giles to a 32.  The fit is great, and I can't believe how thin my old jeans feel now!  Thanks again Giles.

Well the question was already answered by Giles but if you need someone else to confirm it, I will. After a few wears you won't see anything. Just use a stitch remover before you soak them like you said you would and they may even disappear after the soak. As for them being expensive and all that, you are right but at the end of the day they are just jeans…. DAMN GOOD AND WELL MADE JEANS, that are meant to take abuse. Believe me I understand being particular about "the details", but don't sweat the small stuff as they say. You will be much happier with the end result!
