IH-634XHS and IH-666XHS - VMC 25 Year Anniversary's

[Giles]

There are currently 4 people who know what the VMC patch looks like, and that is how it will stay, probably till when they are released, but that is up to Roger, not me…............

just sit back, relax and wait for it….

Hey G, how is the 25oz compared to the signature 21oz interm of handfeel and softness?

[Giles]

It is harder and more rigid, does not have the supreme softness of the 21oz….

@jacoavlu:

certainly no OD…
G has already said the 21/23 annie denim is too heavy to OD

I know for a fact it is possible to OD the 23's. But I'll be cool with a "regular, non-OD'd" version!!!

Fabulous, I LOOOOVE the rigid stuff.

GB, we learnt, when doing your one-off pair, that ODing the 21/23oz denim was not commercially feasible….......

Giles, I tried never to mention that you guys had had the generosity and kind heart to OD one of my SR's because I did not want to start a long discussion! But now that you broke the omerta, I can feel free to say that these are the fuckingest baddest pants I own.

Good description…........

Maybe this has come up here before and I missed it, but this was a quote from Kiya over on sufu in the Self Edge thread a few weeks ago, while he was talking about the upcoming SE/Leather Soul collab boot:

"New Iron Heart jean will be releasing at the same time designed by SE and LS. A new heavier denim that's sanforized, super dark indigo. This will probably be the longest lasting IH denim to date and will age closer to what a unsanforized denim ages like due to it's short oxidation period between dips but high dip count."

Assume this is the same 25oz. denim? Just thought it worth quoting here for anyone interested in the denim.

[thewickett]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember reading that Kiya posting a picture on his twitter of a 23 oz denim - and mentioning it will be in the next IH collab. I'm assuming that is the denim that will be used on the above mentioned jeans?

[Giles]

Kiya was talking about a 23oz we have made specially for him.  It is not the same stuff as he 25oz

[gbougard]

Holy rap, we're going to face a glut of super heavy IH jeans.

Man, there are so many new fabrics and cuts coming out…hard to overview it (and even harder to resist)

[spytech]
