Not a lot.....
The weft on the selvedge 21oz used to be white, Haraki changed it to beige some time after I started working with him, because he thought it would be better for my market.. So it could be old stock....
What does the face feel/look like? The non-selvedge is super smooth compared to the selvedge.....

@Giles after scrolling through the IHC-06 page:
@Giles said in IHC-06 - 21oz Indigo Denim Cap:
I'm sure we can. He is still not 100% happy with the patteren and is working on perfection at the mo'. Here is his latest update to me:
_Regular 21oz, CAP (IH-461 as denim) made 1st sample.
@Giles said in IHC-06 - 21oz Indigo Denim Cap:
It is the 634S selvedge denim.
Haraki designed it so that it could be folded and stuffed into a pocket, but still retain its shape when un-schrunched.

@Giles seems as though it's the old 21oz selvedge with the white weft @sabergirl is this what you remember? Fascinating chat this evening.

Got a pair of jeans with two little vampire holes in the back pocket from the tag that was there I believe. Do these close up with wear and washing?
-
@bluemantra very likely to close up and never to be seen again after washing.

Has anyone ever installed a zipper on their heavy denim jeans? Is this considered sacrilege? Will I be walked through the street and shamed publicly?
-
@Go-For-Chill Which cut are you wearing? I know the 634 had a zippered version (IH-634Z)
-
@Go-For-Chill FYI, I have moved your question here. And no, certainly not sacrilege:

Tago, thanks! I'm still learing where everything goes in this forum.
chrisjohnnick, I have the 634 in 21oz right now, but I'm looking at a pair of 633 in 25oz. I work in live production and half of my bathroom breaks are done as quickly as humanly possible.

@popvulture It's interesting to see these recommendations. I appreciate them, but to be honest, I can't picture myself buying a stretcher. Maybe I'd create some kind of jig....
The question it raises to me though is why the same malleability wouldn't occur from just wearing the pants as I have for the past five months... Would cold washing them help? A while ago I dropped a spot of acrylic paint on the pants and in trying to dab the spot off the dye really bled from the area in a way that scared me from washing them for good... -
I am probably just not observant enough, but does IH make a "greencast" denim? I prefer black denim but am a sucker for indigo denim that has that slight green undertone to it.

@mitzimeow I respect your opinion on it, but the $30 stretcher was the difference in me selling a $400 pair of denim at a huge loss.
To me it was a no brainer.
My first pair of raw denim jeans was some unknown brand that no longer exists and I sized them too small. I crossed my arms and dealt with it stubbornly for like 8 months thinking they would just stretch a little more and the problem would be resolved. That day never came.
