IH-634-LB - Straight Cut Loom Breakers….

[mclaincausey]

I’ll be keenly interested to see how plain woven fabric repair (darning?) compares to twill.

I just managed to get one of the holy Iron Heart grails, maybe it’s even THE grail piece when it comes to pants or jeans
and it’s brand new , maybe the only new one still in existence…..
super excited

[SourPower]

@Daniel-San wow! Incredible find.

[Daniel San]

@SourPower
absolutely, still can’t believe it…

[goosehd]

@Daniel-San Great score and congrats!!

[Matt]

No fucking way!

[Aetas]

@Daniel-San Unbelievable. A blast from the past!

[Daniel San]

the holy grail arrived today
fit is perfect @Matt sorry my friend
634 is not my favorite cut at all, but in this case…
@Giles what would you recommend ? a soak or wash before I start wearing them ? Or keep them dry ? Paula wrote at the beginning of this thread that there’s little or no shrinkage to be expected as they are sanforized.
no mistakes on this jewel

[jordanscollected]

This is awesome @Daniel-San I wore mine straight out of the bag with no soak or wash. These do not soften as fast or as much as denim. also, with each wash they crisp up really firm. You may see a little tightening with a wash, and you may lose a 1/2" or so in the inseam but nothing major. The waist will stretch back out past the initial measurement. I should be getting mine back soon from the repair shop.

@Daniel-San congratulations

[Brandrea]

@Daniel-San how on earth ???

Congratulations!

[Giles]

I would just wear them.....

[Matt]

These bleed like a sob so I soaked mine for a bit just to knock some dye out.

[jordanscollected]

The Loombreakers are back from the repair shop!

I chose to have him repair using duck brown thread to pay homage to the fabric. I really like how they came out. He repaired the pocket openings with tonal threads and same with the pocket bag.

I’m stoked to have the life extended on these.

[Mizmazzle]

@jordanscollected hell yeah. Love that contrast duck stitching. Accentuate the wabi sabi!!

[Oaktavia]

@jordanscollected wow those repairs look so rad. I love that you chose brown as a nod to the brown duck. What a great pair you have there.

[Daniel San]

I know someone who has a great pair too
