IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I remember that some type of a fade-retarder is used on the 634S? Would it help to give it a soak/ give a quick wash to get rid of that layer and accelerate the fading?
Not just the 634S, all the standard 21oz. Tje weird thing is, despite (or perhaps because of), the stubborn nature of the denim, when it does fade there is nothing like it.
Patience isn't a strength of mine. I guess my pair of 634S will teach me the hard way but it'll be worth it.

I wanted to get a “classic pair” for the 21 oz denim, so I went with this cut. @neph93 was very helpful with picking it. And while I didn’t always take his suggestions, I very much appreciated the back and forth. @AdamJ was extremely patient with finding the right pair. Thank you both. I think we have a winner in both fit and what I was searching for.
-
Always a pleasure @Wlemon. You know, when you decided on the 634 over the other cut we were discussing I thought about how they would look on you. I saw them on you in my minds eye, cuffed, with a chore coat and that hat. I thought to myself, «That’ll work well on Will». And it really does.
-
@AdamJ painstakingly compared the two, and while there wasn’t much difference, I think those subtle differences make them look great. I wanted something that seemed a little vintage and I think these do they without seeming over the top. I was really worried about the hem width but I think that’s what makes them stand out.
-
I think they look great, @Wlemon - it's all about having the confidence to wear them and not worry if they're the 'trend' or fashion. The vintage look is so cool and looks awesome with that chore jacket (I have an almost identical jacket, by Indigofera).
-
Yeah, I don’t tend to go with the fashion.
I love my 555s but these are a nice change a pace.
-
Sorry @AdamC! After you do all that hard work, I go and give the credit away to another Adam!
-
I haven’t ever tried the 21oz tux. What do you all think? Can I pull off the 21oz tux?
-
What do you mean “can I”, you just did and really well!

Should I should’ve been the operative word. @Anesthetist

Thanks @Paul9221 & @neph93. When California isn't on fire, I plan on wearing it again!
Since we're both in LA, pre-pandemic, I imagined that one day I'd spot you in the Self Edge store or a Whole Foods or something. I'll keep a look out for denim tuxedoed dudes with hats but it might have to wait until this thing blows over
The only public IH-spotting I've had was a guy wearing a pair of the IHSNs at a Blue Bottle coffee shop. I have to admit that I got way more excited than I should have LOL!

Man, I’d have to restrain myself from asking them about it.
Wasn’t there a IH meet up at some point? I know that’s not possible right now but would be fun in the future. I was at Mister Freedom last week getting some goodies. Should post them…
