IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

[TinMan]

I know these are raw as raw can get and thats part of what makes them special and one of a kind beast pants!!!  but I am kind of OCD when it comes to symmetry!!  Can anyone tell me how much these seam skew over time?

[thewickett]

side skew really varies from pair to pair even within the same model

[DougNg]

If you care about symmetry, these are not for you

The left leg on my SR's have twisted 90 degrees. The right has not

The ole left leg twist… Loving it!..

If you want you jean not to skew, you need to put the denim through one of these.  This is a de-skewing machine.  Saw it in action last Thurs:

Any (and I mean any) loom state (that is, straight off the loom) denim will skew. it is the nature of a twill weave.

Giles,
Would a person like myself be able to get a pair 634SR that has gone through a deskewing machine.  My OCD brain and love of symmetry would really like that.

DougNG,
Thanks for the PICS

[Giles]

No, sorry - not poss.  The whole length of fabric need to be de-skewed (800 plus yards).  G

[Beatle]

I think the 634sr denim undergoes said treatment…

[Giles]

No Beats - the 634SR denim is "loom state" (that is no post loom processing)….G

[Beatle]

thanks for clarification - that's why I should've been there…

[TinMan]

thats ok! Thought I would ask.  There is other badass IH gear I can spend my money on.

[Beatle]

BTW - there should be a lot of fit pics coming up….

[DougNg]

If I had the dough, I would totally get a second pair of these…

hey i'm new to the forums but i went to SELA last weekend and put my name on the call list for a W30 for a pair of these bad boys.  is there a chance theres still a 30 left?

[Giles]

No sorry.  Giles

[jaythejet]

it's all good then i might just pull the trigger on the 31 on the site… decisions decisions.  i was struggling (like, sweating after i buttoned the top) to button the W30 regular (not21/23oz) 634s at SELA but i thought since it would stretch an inch i would be fine.  but from the posts here it says they shrink?  so maybe 31 shouldnt be so bad.  idk i'm in need of some help

[Beatle]

the 634sr runs a tad smaller in the waist - the pair I hot soaked turned out to be 14.5 in the end..so a 31 might be actually perfect for you

[Dragon]

Beatle - If you don't mind, what were the final measurements of your pair after all the shrinkage?
