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

[xtcclassic]

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.

@Ponyboy312:

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

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.

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.

@Ponyboy312 did you record shrinkage in waist and inseam?

@Giles:

@Ponyboy312 did you record shrinkage in waist and inseam?

@Giles Yes. I got 1" in length and 1.5" in waist from a 45 minute warm soak and drip dry. The waist stretched to preshrink after 1 wear.

Thank you…...

Just a headsup, the forum link from product page for these jeans direct to 634-19L instead of the correct thread.

[Giles]

Anyone else?  Seems to be OK for me….

[Dion]

I remember experiencing the same but it seems to be fixed now.

Works correctly for me now!
