IH-633SII - Self Edge x Iron Heart 18oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Straight Tapered
-
these are only available through self edge correct?
-
Dunno if it is dead and buried, but.. What happen to 777-SII?
-
That's what I figured, no problem
-
this is a raw unsaforized denim i see. a nice! this denim was made especially for SE. specs?
-
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 itHe 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.
-
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.

So I had to give up on the 634SII and got myself a pair of these. I am so glad I did as they fit beautifully. Just need to do a first wash, but I am wearing them for a bit before I do, just my thing. LOVE this denim, I think it is one of IH best, be it all of IH denim is amazing.

Just nabbed a used pair of these on eBay for 85 bucks. They are in great shape. Will
Lost pics later. I like the fit. -
Thats a great find! I just ordered a pair from SE. @Appfaff tempted me with his 18oz version. The measurements seem perfect as I can't really do a 666 cut. I might even go for the OD version as well.
-
I’m sure you will Love then @joephoto - I’d love the ODs as well, but alas… not enough legs lol [emoji23]

I think I will. The measurements are very 888 esque, i.e. good thighs with a taper. It's just that bottom opening sometimes is too narrow. But I think the OD's are on deck… I might just be a bit more patient to see the measurements on the 888 version and compare.
