IH-633SII - Self Edge x Iron Heart 18oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Straight Tapered

@Jordonf9:

Didn't know this was unsanforized denim…

The 634SII page states that this fabric is 'lightly sanforized'. Can we expect these to behave as one or the other @Giles? Leg twist?

Could get some some leg twist, yes….

I've been lusting after some IH jeans with tonal stitching and here they are:

The patch.

Tidy selvedge fly construction.

Bronze hardware.

Will wear them unhemmed but cuffed.

Hidden rivets.

The fit is amazing and comfy although much tighter in the waist than the 633S despite having the same measurements as the 21 oz edition. I'm going to soak them prior to wearing these beauties. It will be very interesting to see how they evolve. Can definitely recommend them to anyone on the fence.

[Dion]

Soaking them atm and hoping I can stretch them to perfection thereafter.

@Dion They look great!

[Dion]

Thanks, atm23! I'm breaking them in today! Your pair shows nice evo, keep up the good work!

@awalden:

I've only wore mine for four days now, but at any point do they stop bleeding? I'm particularly concerned about a pair of sneakers I have made from vegetable tanned leather - I wore them with these jeans for one day and a jarring amount of indigo bled on to them. Does this subside at any point?

I've been wearing mine for over a year now and they still bleed on some of my sneakers.

IH-633S-II, 22 months of wear. I love these jeans,

[Matty123]

these are only available through self edge correct?

[Giles]

Correct.  The 633 cut is a Self Edge exclusive…

[Miiks]

Dunno if it is dead and buried, but.. What happen to 777-SII?

[Giles]

In all probability it's dead….Sorry.

[Miiks]

That's what I figured, no problem 

[Matty123]

this is a raw unsaforized denim i see. a nice! this denim was made especially for SE. specs?

[Giles]

No, it was made by H at my request.  He was very dismissive of it when it was first woven:

Over dinner at the Marriot Courtyard in Bangkok.

H - I've run the sample of Indigo/Indigo you requested
G - What's it like?
H - Well, you'll  like it

He subsequently decided he liked it too and asked me if he could release it in Japan

Wonder why H didn't like it???  It looks like a beautiful fabric.

[Giles]

Well, that is the point.  He does now….....

If I remember correctly, Haraki felt "denim" was only blue or black warp and white or natural weft.  Anything else was just a twill fabric.  So this blue on blue action wasn't real denim, and therefore unfit to be used for jeans.

Happily for all of us, he's become more tolerant of deviance.
