634B&SRAW - 16oz Loomstate Indigo Selvedge Straight Cut

[ROman]

I usually do wash them first, but when I tried them on and the buttons worked so easy, I just kept them on, since I wasn't near a washer.I'll probably do a post wash pic fairly soon, while returning from Berlin, between Philadelphia and Charlotte, a kid sitting next to me spilled a cup of water all over them. Glad it was just water. I made me jump. Thanks for the comments.

@ROman:

Some of my fit pics. I like them a lot. Hate to say I did my usual and returned to Burg & Schild on Saturday and bought another pair.

Great fit @ROman ! Also good to know I'm not the only one who buys more than one of the same thing….

Thanks @steelworker , I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets 2 of things, I think also we're not the only 2, that gets 2 of items.

Just got mine in, warm soak with Bronners, and now waiting to dry. The thighs feel a little smaller than the 5th anniversary 634SR, closer to how my 666UHR feel, but we'll see as soon as I get some wear in them!

I like that you are offering a lighter denim in loomstate. But 13.2 in the thigh (in sz 34) won't fit me after a shrink. Any chance you will offer another loomstate 634 that will keep similar thigh ratios as the 634S (ideally w/o the tonal stitching)? I love 634s and my XHS but I'm ready for a lighter denim as I live in Florida now and wear my denim year round.

Try the 634S-14 or 634N.  I know they are not loomstate, but the denim in each case  is lovely…....

Wore these yesterday and I really like them.  I got a little leg twist, but I'm actually a fan of it.

I'll get a couple of pictures up this weekend.

Thanks Giles! How high is the contrast fading on them? Higher than XHS? As high as PBJ? Are the any pics out there?

I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone with some insight into those denims. Sorry for posting the question in this thread but I was already here so..

Giles currently has the most faded pair of jeans in the 14oz denim, he's posted pics in either the 666S-14 thread or the regular 14oz denim thread. I can tell you from personal experience that the 14oz denim is awesome, but it's sanforized, not loomstate. Wonderful denim though.

Thanks again, Giles. I was really surprised the natural indigo seems to fade as well as it does.

That said, I've pretty much convinced myself that I have to get these B&SRAWs.  I just have one final question for my peace of mind.

Will IH be releasing any other loomstate denim in under 21oz in the foreseeable future?

[Giles]

Nope

[Ponyboy312]

I just placed my order. Thanks Giles!

[Giles]

Thank you….

Some quick and dirty fit pic

Nice fit and nice belt!

[Giles]

How are they on the thigh?

[Ponyboy312]

@den213 Thanks! @Giles They're definitely more snug than my other 634s; I'm hoping for .5 stretch there.

[Appfaff]

Looks great! Love slim fitting 634 fits - cool 60s vibe for sure!

Thanks @Appfaff!

A couple notes on this denim:

1. There was ZERO indigo leak during/ after a 45 minute warm soak; the water was completely clear. (I'm curious as to why that is; I haven't seen that before).

2. The denim was so stiff after soak that they stood up on their own (with 1 finger to balance them).

3. Notwithstanding (2), they stretched over an inch in waist and softened considerably after only 1 wear.
