IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut
-
-
Comparing the weight of my 21oz 634s - 1.02kg, against my 634SR at 1.33kg, my calculations make the SR's denim weight just over 26oz and added to that the 634s are 1.5" longer in the leg than the SR's!!
yeah, but you have not told us the weight of the 634s after your math…Simon, please do and than we can see what's what..hehe
I would guess Simon is calculating that because the 634s and their 21 oz denim weigh 1.02kg, and a similarly sized pair of 634sr weight 1.33 kg (about 30% heavier), and both pair have rivets and pockets and buttons and such but those factors are going to equal out for the most part, well then the sr denim must be about 30% heavier, so 21 oz plus another 30% equals… just over 27 oz... or some sort of similar calculation...
My calculation:
634sr denim = heavy enough for me
Spot on jacoavlu, I'm assuming that the 634S are genuine 21oz denim and calculating from that. I know the 634SR is a slightly fuller cut and have taken that in to account with my 26oz guestimation, if the cuts where identical then it would be 27.5oz denim! Photos of cuts and scale readings when I'm at home next, if required.

Love the math. but seriously, are we assuming that Haraki doesn't know what weight the denim is that he makes ?
We can do anything

my SR's at 3 months, 3 soaks, sorry for the crappy cell pic and lighting.
wear on the left knee more than the right because of all the left leg skew, the left knee rubs a lot more with movement
also got some funny fades just below that left pocket opening cause my thick belt rubs there a lot when seated

hey giles do you plan on doing a heavier denim soon or for another anniversary edition? sam's got a 24/27 already. show them up!!
27oz.. hopefully shorts for summer - then its 110% useless. otherwise its just 100% useless..
crap.

You wait for September 11th. If you can work out what is happening on this day 2011, then you may be able to work out what weight we will be releasing. No more clues or hints will be forthcoming…................
EDIT. And as Doug has kindly just pointed out to me, the date is completely coincidental to 9/11.

whatever comes out in September, I pray it will have exactly the same color and texture as the 666, only a ton heavier.
At the same time, one's gotta wonder how the SR's can be topped, because those are the best fucking jeans ever. Period.

this is a lot of praise coming from the man who owns not only the PBJ AI001 but the 002 as well. would you say iH makes the best quality japanese denim out there?

Thanks Beats, good luck to you as well (although I get the feeling you don't really need any luck based on your past evo's ;))

The way I look at it is not denim, but the pants. I like IH SR's pants better than PBJ 002's pants. I like both denims a lot, but they are SO different that it does not make sense for me to pick a favorite one. I also love the 666 denim a lot too. I like the 666 color more than the SR color. I am privileged to own an OD'd SR, and that one is the absolute top pair of pants AND denim in my book. But since this is not a "regular" model, it stays out of the contest…
In lighter weight pants, I really like Sugar Cane Okinawa as well as the Evisu x SC collab pants (except that it has 2 patches and THAT is ridiculous). And of course I love the PBJ 007 Deep indigo slim model. I just dont understand why there are not more indigo overdyed pants, because it is absolutely tops...
