IH-634XHS and IH-666XHS - VMC 25 Year Anniversary's

[Giles]

Getting a little more comfortable.  Not sure about stretch, will check tonight….

if I had more time and legs I would love to tame one of those. Damn, the developping colour looks so tasty already.

Really keen to see this denim in person. My only concern because I am assuming its the same yarn as 21oz but woven tighter to get the heavy ounce? Which will make the fabric more ridged and boardy causing really sharp creases. Ridged+sharp ceases = high chance of premature worn edges creating hole/rips.

Only time will tell…...

[Giles]

I agree to a certain extent Jimmy, but the stuff is so thick, that will help with the premature wear…..

Somebody update me please..The 666XHS is 25oz right? What's the 666VMC? When are these coming? Can't wait for the measurements for the 666!

[Chris]

Same denim, same cut, different patch & pocket arcs.  Maybe a few other unique details, too.  They're for the 25th anniversary of VMC, the retailer in Zurich, so Giles hasn't given too many details, so as not to spoil the surprise when they're finally unveiled.

@Max:

great! So how do they feel now? Any stretch or signs of growing comfort?

Much more comfortable now and got about half an inch of stretch in the waist…..

[Beatle]

soon it will be time to split this into 4 threads…exciting when new stuff finally drops

So do you think they would stretch a inch if they had to? I'm wondering if a 34 will stretch to 35.

[Giles]

I think that it will, but seriously the initial pain will be intense…...

[D97x7]

Thanks G. 

[STAN]

no pain , no strechy ! 

[Beatle]

seriously , I am pretty tough , but I wouldn ´t recommend downsizing. the denim is super tightly woven , unless any other I´ve seen

[dave]

If it's as tight as the TWHR01, it won't stretch much

[Beatle]

tighter

[kit99bar]

if there is a size that matches the 666's size 32 presoak, it will be perfect for me.  checks daily for updates

[Giles]

The VMC batch is leaving the factory tomorrow to g up t Hachioji for QC, not sure on the timings of the XHS versions atm, just need to make sure VMC get their's before the party…..G

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, and I couldn't find it anywhere in this thread, but will these have lined back pockets for us knife carriers?

Also, any chance the Beatle Buster ever sees a release in this denim? It seems that we have a very slim cut (666) and a pretty loose cut (634), but nothing in between in terms of fit for this material.

[Giles]

No they wont, result would be too bulky and anyway the Vulcan is being released for knife carriers.

And possibly.
