IH-634S-21BLK - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Black/Beige

[Guest]

The measurements look good

Are you getting a pair in size 29?

[Giles]

No sorry.  Demand from retailers was poor, so we had to restrict the size range we made.

[xtcclassic]

Damn, I hope the denim itself isn’t endangered.

I'm not sure….I'm on the fence....I'm sure with wear I'd fall off the fence

[Giles]

We have enough left for about 350 somethings….

[xtcclassic]

Ok. Well I’m already on record with my vote, but I’m definitely not in a hurry. I have plenty of IH denim to wear in the meantime.

Btw, whoever got the sample pair should post some updates in this thread.

[Alex]

These are sanforized, but unwashed. Shrink test underway.

The jeans have had about 60+ days of normal wear and have just had their first machine wash. The first thing to say is that this is quite unique and luxurious denim. The brown weft gives a much richer, warmer colour. The softness and weight means thick, rounded creases at the knees and front top block, and it drapes beautifully. It’s weighty, tough but comfortable all at the same time. It certainly doesn’t have the stiffness if the 21oz super black or SBG denims. As with the indigo 21oz it will age wonderfully with time, I’m sure. I love wearing these jeans.

It's worth mentioning that this denim isn’t super quick to fade, nor will it give very high contrast fading. It’s IH classic 21oz which is stubborn to begin with, and secondly the black dye doesn’t seem to come out as easily as indigo. Finally, the brown weft means the contrast is more subdued.

That isn’t to say it doesn’t fade at all. The attatched pictures show my wallet pocket and the beginnings of roping:

Whiskers and honeycombs. They form really quickly and are good, thick, round creases.

Nice

Sam wears tag 32

Those are unfortunately narrower than the 634S in the thigh & knees… Not sure it will work for me... Super bummed about that. 

[Alex]

Aside from the fact that they are unwashed, they are wider in the two tag sizes I glanced at which I think you sit in the region of? You won't lose all that much through the leg, I wouldn't have thought. Tomorrows shrink test will reveal that for sure

[JDelage]

The W34 634S is 13.3 in the thighs and 9.5 in the knees for a 34 waist. This one is 12.8 and 9.4 for a 34.5 waist (W33). Am I missing something?

[Alex]

Only that the waist will likely shrink more than the other measurements, so if you stay on the same tag size and wash you would end up with a similar leg (i suspect). Like I say, until we have shrink test results, we won't know for sure.

[JDelage]

We'll see. These are going to make plenty of people happy I expect.

[Sam]

Shrink test results on a tag 34, 40 degrees and no spin.

[Finkster]

Not bad .. the shrink test results give me some hope back … a 60°C treatment could be a solution.  ::)
