IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@Giles:

The patch.  The problem with the patch is that unlike a lot of other brands, the stitching is just at the top and the bottom (rather than all the way around), so that you can get your belt through the patch if that is what you like to do.  That coupled with the thickness of the leather imposes great stress at the 4 corners.

The Polycotton that we sew the 634S with is and has alwayts been super strong.

I love being able to put my belt under the patch.  other wise the super duper thick bad ass feckin patch make my belt tight.

On some jeans where we are aiming for a more vintage look (666 and 634SR) we use cotton.  This does tend to give up quicker than Polycotton, but that's part of the vintage look we are trying to recreate.

So after the Canada Post strike finally ended I got my jeans on Thursday, here's some quick fit pics. Initial reactions are that I will never buy any other type of jeans ever again. These are so freakin' burly and well made, I can never go back to anything lesser haha.

Mr Plow - hahaha I will never, ever NOT start singing 'That's my name it's Mister Plow' when reading your posts…

GREAT fit btw!..

[TinMan]

nice fit…...  I alway go to my 634s still one of my favorite IH cuts.

Just got mine. Size 31 but I buttoned them up in like 2 seconds… Fit is perfect. Thing I did though was have them hemmed to my EXACT length + some room left for shrinking and settling. What d'ya think?..

[Max Power]

I think they look indeed perfect. Why does the patch say L 34? Japanese version?

[Seul]

Could be. I didn't even think about it haha… Bought them from Beatle. 2ndhand but BNWT... Stoked on these.

[Max Power]

great. So you even got a rarity (in europe ;))

[Giles]

Virtually all the 634S say L34 whatever the length!

[Max Power]

Again I learnt something new. I always thought L 36 is the western version, 34 for the jap market.

[Giles]

For the 634SR that is what we did.

Take a look heer to see actual lengths of 634S

I'll just write 32.5 over it with a sharpie.

Page needs pics… 

[Seul]

Only temporarily…

@Seul:

Not cuffing them. They will fit perfectly after some wear. I know from experience that these need to be a bit too long to cover the shrinkage created by setting creases…

[injunjack]

Seul, they look deff. good cuffed IMO, but I can appreciate your decision to wear them uncuffed, sniff, sob…

[Blackheart]

Still no boots Seul…Sigh.

[Seul]

I have boots baby, but it's SUMMER!..  ???

[Blackheart]

True, I'll keep my hopes up until fall/winter then.

[Seul]

Give me about 6 weeks and I'll be back in me boots…
