IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut
-
No more of this fabric being made. But I did spec something a little special last week. G
ve haf means to mek you speak, herr giles!
-
I wear a 30 in the 634s, and I have a 30 in the SR. about 10 wears in and they're still killing my waist a little. The denim is FANTASTIC though. I would probably say amazing. The 31 should be perfect for you.
Giles - if you CAN say something, is it the denim for the next self edge collab?
-
doubtful, Kiya has rights to that denim for the next year… Giles appears to be talking about something completely different...
-
just got these and i am in love :D. too bad i wont have some of the badass fading some of you guys have since im just wearing these to college classes haha. but i'm having a dilemma whether to cuff or not to cuff. what do you guys do?
I have 2 pairs of sr's-one for cuff one for not cuff;-)

I have my two pairs a 32 and a 33, and have worn them on alternative days. 10 days each and now they start to feel comfortable. The first week with each of them was in the edge of uncomfortable, especially the 32 was a painful start.
For the first few wears buttoning them needed the use of extra tools. As for the fit, I could not button the 32 all the way till after 4 wears. Now the 32 fits just right. The 33, was a perfect fit when I received it and now it starts to feel slightly relaxed.
They are a bit too long for me, ideal for me would be a 32 length, and they now measure at 34 and 34.5". I just wear then full length for now, and haven't decided if I will fold them or get them hemmed to proper length after a while.
In spite of the uncomfortable start, after 10 days in each, I can't see why I would want to wear any other pair of jeans
I am hooked, and am don't see any need to wear any of my other clothes the rest of the winter. -
I always do it the Haraki way:
The following is Haraki’s advice on how to treat your Ih-634SR before you wear them:
"This denim is not processed. It will shrink and skew. I have made this pattern "shrink to fit", after washing or soaking a couple of times it will shrink to tag-size
When you get your jeans, soak them in a bath tub of cold water overnight. Turn them inside out and then wash them in a washing machine at no hotter than 30 degrees C, you do not need washing powder or detergent
Don't spin too fast and don't put them in a tumble dryer, it is far better to allow them to air dry (still inside-out) in the sun, try to smooth all wrinkles in the fabric before the jeans get too dry
After the initial soak, the leg will shrink about 2", after the wash, there will be further shrinkage of about 1". So in total you will get about 3" shrinkage. Please bear this in mind if you are hemming before washing”On subsequent washes, always wash inside out and do not spin too fast or tumble dry.
