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

[barun]

you are correct sir.  I should have said "unsanforized" rather than raw.  AND, i should have clarified; although the denim has been overdyed, its not being sanforized will still leave the denim a little rougher than the sanforized 21oz standard IH denim.

My question is really about how the dye takes to and wears off of the rougher, unsanforized denim vs. the sanforized denim of the 634s-B.  The reason I bring this up is because I have been looking at the jeans you mentioned (Beatle's 07BK's and Finns 666OD in particular) and there seems to be a lot more blue coming through rather than on Max Powers amazing 634s-B or even my own pair.

It could be the fact that Finn and Beats are great photographers and capture something in their pictures that nobody else has or the denim takes and "releases" the dye differently due to the process of making the denim.  I hope with Mondays help, my question has become clearer…

have a feeling this is going to be a complicated answer 

[barun]

I just hope it doesn't turn into another 301 selvage line showing/not showing convos

[madmonday]

i think we are safe from that, hahahahahahahaha, actually let's see who else chimes in 

[Giles]

Me here.

My assumption is that the 18 and 19oz denims are much slubbier than the 21oz, hence the different fading characteristics.

[Max Power]

What I experienced on my pair (thanks for the kind words, btw) was, that they first fade to a light blue hue, but once that's gone they turn to a greyish colour. Of course, in reality and sunlight they appear still blue in some places. And I also thought, that they would take forever to fade, but in fact, it was pretty fast. Dunno why, but you may have noticed, that their fit is rather tight on me which may help fades.

I'll try to take some good evo pics later, ok?

[Max Power]

Alright, here we go:634 S-B, 8 months in, no wash, patch oiled twice. Traintracks coming. I love them, just wish I would have taken a 33 waist.

[Max Power]

That was after two months; like I said, more blue than nowadays.

You can also see the stitching loosing the overdye.

[kit99bar]

thank you for the great shots Max, they definitely are showing their blue

[equinox_66]

insane!

[barun]

Those are incredible.

[pookguy]

If I were to throw these in the wash, would they get bluer?

[barun]

nope

[Finn666]

^why not?…
actually the black od color should wash away a bit so they actually should get "bluer" in some places if i`m not mistaken ?!...

[barun]

I guess it could happen depending on if there is any blue coming through yet.  I tried it with mine when new and it did nothing

[nooblet333]

Anyone know when a restock is going to come for these? Specifically sz 34! Thanks

[jimmy]

damn i REALLY like those Max.

[Max Power]

Thanks I might give them their first wash next week (maybe…)

[Finn666]

So I'll hold my breath and won't say that I'm really looking forward to that day

[7tacos]

These look great.  I love the OD.  My size 36 busters are super comfortable and I'm looking forward to this stage yours are in Max. Could have sized to a 35 if those were an option too but I love the way these fit and feel. 
When they're ready for some wash, I'll jump into the ocean and swim around for a few hours, hose them off and wear them the rest of the day.
