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

[Giles]

We never used to sew the belt loops of the IH-634S (and some 634S derivatives) into the waist band. I am more intrigued by the one you is…

Just to confirm, we do reinforce the belt loop on the 634S — but as Giles has mentioned, this may not have always been the case on older models, so it's still not definitive proof of a fake.

When I started working with Haraki, none of jeans had the belt loops sewn into the waistband. I specified them on all jeans I initiated, but the IH-634S was obviously not one of them. It took a few years to transition to sewn in belt loops on the 634 cut.

This pair has only the back belt loop tucked under. I imagine Haraki did this because he wore a belt whilst on the bike (?)

[Giles]

No, the original IH-634S had none of the bely loops tucked into the waist band. So yours are some sort of anomaly....Hence me asking to see a photo. Yours have obviously had some "work" done to them (patch), so I wanted to see the loop....

First time posting! I have 18 oz jeans and was thinking about stepping up to 21 oz. Is it a major step up? Will I fell like the tin man? Thanks in advance.

21oz is as soft as an avocado hair booster.

@meyer1son 21oz is very soft and continues to get softer with wear. They have been described as sweatpants-esque soft with time.

Any idea when there might be a restock? I’ve lost a bunch of weight over the past year and it’s time for a new pair. My 888s don’t really fit me anymore and I think I’d like to try out a classic fit this time.

@dkowa The last restock was in May 2025 so it may be a while. Have you checked the other retailers to see if your size is in stock elsewhere?

Here is a link to the retailers that may have your size in stock: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/121
