IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

[Guest]

@Giles:

I always hem pre soak.

Giles, is there a technical reason behind that decision (like: its easier to hem unsanf. denim if it hasn't skewed yet)?
Or is it because you're the boss-man and have a Union Special under your control!?!

[Giles]

Because I like the roping be accentuated in the first soak/wash.  If you take the shrinkage out first, you will lessen the roping….G

[Guest]

Wise man, thanks for the wisdom!

I asked the same question when i got mine,pre or post hemming…took Giles' advice,pre..and they shrunk to the perfect length with roping.

hi just wondering if any body is looking  for 36 w x 35 leg brand new labels still on  or 36 waist x 31 leg  cold soaked not  worn  just tried on in doors (brand  new with out labels) the arrival of 3 pairs 55 cut means thesse  will never  leave the wardrobe  pm me if any interest giles suggested  i put them on  here

[kit99bar]

I put mine in near boiling water (not the tag though) and the waist went from 30 to 27-28.  It stretched back to 30 thankfully

Back to 634SR!

A summer revamp for these hyper-cool IH classics, just to keep myself on training for the forthcoming 25oz beasts.
Crappy iPhone shot, but jeans are visible…

The fit is great on those! I would love to have gotten a pair of the SR's.

[Blackheart]

They're doing a 634 out of the same denim lax, I think G said they'd be available in October…You should
reserve a pair.

[laxlife1234]

I think I should then :)! Maybe I am just missing it but is there a thread on it?

Edit: nevermind I found it, and I remember I filled out a form, but I am going to re-fill one out as I think I might want a different size.

@TinMan:

I know the last of the material will be used on the 634S Raw, but will this cut ever be used again?

@Giles:

Dont know, I try and remember to ask Haraki when he is here…...

when is Haraki goin to be in the UK?  I am anxious to hear what he says…...... not like you guys are busy

if you think about it….. good to hear H and crew made it safe and sound.

been wearing these while my other fav's are being repaired.  one thing i really dig about these is that even though the cut is a bit more full than the normal 634s the heaviness of the denim makes them stand in such a way that they actually appear slimmer than they are.

if i go a couple days without wearing these i have to battle the top button again.  the waistband is not forgiving on these.

[gbougard]

these are the undisputed KINGS of Jeans
I wonder if the upcoming 25oz's will dethrone them…

Battle of the titans in the denim pantheon coming up soon to a theater near you!!!

Depends on how your scoring, but as much as I love my SRs, it's a foregone conclusion that the 25oz will win.  The SR is soft at heart

This was a little bit after the last wash, they are covered in dirt and grease in this image.
