IH-666S-PD - Indigo 14oz Money Denim Slim Cut
-
@Sam:
A comparison photo of the reverse of the new "Yenim" denim and the 18oz of the 666S.
You can really see how much finer the weft is on the Yenim.
-
. "Yenim" - the warp is made from Japanese currency pulp, so an obvious nickname!
. This highly experimental denim utilizes the Warp from our 18oz denim and uses a Weft made from paper currency pulp, which is half the diameter of a cotton yarn, but twice as strong.@Giles.
I'm a tad confused, (which isn't hard). But it looks to me, looking at the description page, that both the warp & the weft are utilising the Japanese currency pulp. Is this correct? I thought it was going to be either the warp or the weft. Or have I misunderstood? Thanks. -
Good God man. Pics! Give us pics!!!
Please and thank you.

I ordered a pair of the 634s, specifically because of how the weft looked on the back and where the denim was creased on the seams.
And all this talk of how much they are, yes the yen was stronger two years ago, but the DWCxUHRs were 475$, the 2nd year contest jeans were 425$, and I'm pretty sure I paid 420$ or450$ for my 23oz Self Edge jeans. While all these fabrics are heavier, the price on these arn't that out of line. Hell, I have a 675$ pair of Dry Bones that I bought years ago that I haven't even worn yet….
I'm looking forward to these, 5 years of skydiving in super heavy weight jeans, it'll be nice to go to a 18oz.

They just landed, and these are really quite something! I ended up ordering a tag size 28 and 29, and the 28's didn't fit past my thighs, but the 29's fit just right. My wife has already warned me not to sit on our white dinning room chairs wearing the yenim as the indigo was already rubbing
Now to get them hemmed. Cuff or no cuff?
Thanks @Giles and @Matt for the help. My first order through IH directly, but not my last.
-
Excellent purchase. Congrats on getting two pairs to pick the right one, smart!
NO CUFF! (Just my humble/biased opinion)….
-
No cuff.
-
Very nice fit, @QuantumMechanic, they look great (and agree you don't need to cuff)
-
I noticed that Sam and Giles sized down 1 in these but, by the pics, they seems a bit too tight to me. so I went TTS because I would like a more relaxed look, even considering thighs.
I'd take the 634, but the measures were too big in my size, so I opted for 666, that I know very well and never disappointed me.
I always nailed sizes with IH bottoms (I can wear everything from 28 to 31, no probs)
Shirts and jackets…

With this order I tried to sabotage IHUK, but @Alex , with great kindness and patience, solved all the problems I had set to destroy their excellent service! Next time I'll do worse, promise …
@QuantumMechanic Impressive! I like cuffs too, to be honest.
They seem really some puny 13.75oz, on you!
I cannot wait to taste their true hulkish 18oz essence
