@LONANRANGER If memory serves the 634s was available with a crotch rivet by request only many moons ago, c.2008 or '09, or maybe a little earlier. Back when you could get silver rivets, too. Wish I would've gone for the silver…
@sabergirl - Thanks for the response - picked up a pair of as new unworn IH634S with a crotch rivet and wonder when they were made

Hello @Giles. I'm about About to soak my Pronto 10th anniversary. Suggestions for temperature? I want to get all The shrink out. Thanks
-
Soaking in its own does not cause shrinkage, you need to agitate too. I do in hottest water I can put my hands in….
Yes I plan on agitating too. My hands can take about 125 degrees F. Been carrying pizzas trays for years. Hot stuff. Muchos gracias amigo.

@Sreeni I have no idea.
Size variance from the mean varies from model to model, denim to denim, workshop to workshop, seamstress to seamstress. In broad terms, the heavier and stiffer the denim is, the larger variation we get from the mean, but we don't log that sort of information….

The patch on my 634S are beginning to crack. I've never soaked or washed them. That happen to anybody else?

@Matty123, how often do you oil the patch?

Mink oil is cheap and if you whack it on both sides and edges you won't have to do it more than two or three times a year, depending on wear/washes etc. That being said I've taken to smearing olive oil on mine whilst I cook. Does a great job. (Credit to Mr. G. Padmore for that one).

Righteous. Thanks for that tidbit

don't know if this has been answered before but i'm curious why some shirts have the chainstitch runoff while others don't. I noticed that pretty much all Western UHF's don't have it but denim Westerns do. likewise, the UHF workshirts have the runoff as well as other random workshirts. Is there any significance to this?

Hello @Giles. Are there any raw 634 jeans in the works? In any weight. Collaborations or otherwise? Thanks
-
By raw you mean unsanforised and unwashed. If so, only these:

And nothing being worked on.
Sanforised and unwashed:

Mink oil is a product I actively avoid, for the same reason that I won't wear fur.
There plenty of ways to take care of leather without killing yet more poor beasties.
