Going from RRL to 634SR - Strap yourself in, bracing yourself will not be enough…..................

[thewickett]

never own IH and buy two pairs of SR? Ladies and gentlemen, Mo does not mess around!

Nothing like going in head first!

Oh crap, you won't know what hit you

Guarantee you're going to be grinning in amazement when you first feel them.

Tried the 634 at Selfedge couple weeks ago and it was such a different feeling. Intense to say the least, but I loved it. It almost felt like, I was wearing a pair of pajamas when I got back into my older jeans. They did not have any SR for me to try.

Now after reading this entire thread on the SR's, I could not stop myself, even though I have never tried them. Seems like I am in for an even more intense experience that the standard 634. Exciting! maybe the perfect pair for a winter in Stockholm.

geez,these look absolutely amazing…
any info on number of washes or days worn without washes?

[thewickett]

something like 7-8 months of effective wear… pictures are before the first wash. No post wash pictures as of now.

[SepticSef]

wow,no washes?
the look is absolutely amazing.
thanks for the info,thewickett;)

People of the forum.

Please can you let me know what the total shrinkage you experienced with your 634SR's.

Thanks, G

[Beatle]

Will do a shrinkage experiment next weekend..and a chainstitch experiment as well…

Bye bye Unity, nice knowing you…..............

I received my two pairs of jeans. Wow!!!!!

After quickly unpacking and measuring them, I tired to enter the jeans. I had the sensation I would loose balance if I did not hold on to something, that's how stiff they felt. I am sure this is going to be a long journey towards taming the beast.

Now one of the pairs is soaking and I am not sure one hour would be enough to soften them. The note that came with the jeans recommends soaking over night and then a wash in the washing machine…

What tools do you use to button up these jeans?

I'm just photographing the IH-804.  I put my 634SR on after the photos and they feel super flimsy coo the Loggers!!!!!!!!

Told you so. I seriously had to use the end of a fork to pry the button into the hole. Like put half the button in then pry the rest in. Best of luck.

I've read the data on the 634sr Annie's and I was wondering if its bad to wear them without doing the
Pre soak?

[Beatle]

I highly recommend soaking…they will last longer (if there's too much starch in the fabric the threads /fibers will break more easily)
