IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans

[jerkules]

@SKT it’s inevitable, why resist…?

[yannis]

I agree with jerkules. I bought mine 2 years ago. I have the v2 version of that denim in the 634 cut. Its my favorite IH fabric. Nothing comes close. I love the rigidity and even when soft still rigid. I wish they will do an ib version with this denim. It will be epic

[jerkules]

@yannis you’re enthusiasm for this denim, along with Mike (RIP), urged me to give this a try. Would like to see a pic of yours after a couple of years.

The rigidity is something else, but it’s still very comfortable (likely due to the 634 cut). Like supple leather almost…

[yannis]

I ended up getting a pair in the 888 cut also but i haven't started on them yet. I got so crazy as to i bought 2 634's v2 because i thought they will not bring it back anytime soon.... i will post some pictures in a couple of days.

[jerkules]

I’ve considered doing the same thing

[SKT]

You guys are killing me. I’m still working on my 21L’s and damn they are stubborn. I’ll have to see what fall brings…still don’t have XHS either

[yannis]

The 888's fit me nice.. Just too hot in Maryland to get them started..waiting for October...
Lovely denim. I prefer it over XHS
At SKT. 21L and 19L are 2 different animals. The 21L is very soft and pliable the 19L is stiff and rigit and tighter weave. The 19L fades faster and stays stiffer. Its unsanforized so you will get skew. But you brake them in and you will not need or go to another pair. At list thats how it worked for me.

[SKT]

@yannis I’m convinced

[jerkules]

Update, gave em a quick soak and wore them damp a couple of weeks ago. Think it’s sped things up a bit, lighter blues really coming through.

[dinobarnesberlin]

I can't wait to start wearing mine again now that things are cooling down a bit here----think you are right about the lighter blues popping more after a wash.
I think the 634 has become my fave cut.

[Jcaz6996]

@jerkules yes coming along nicely how many wears now? I’ve got the 555s—19L need to start wearing.

[jerkules]

@Jcaz6996 i would guess around 150 wear days - I don’t do wear them particularly hard other than lots of walking. You’ll smash yours in no time just like the jacket

@dinobarnesberlin yeah I’ve been looking forward to the cooler weather and wearing these more. Luckily the he 634 suits warmer weather due to the relaxed cut, I’ve found I can wear these up to about 26C before I get uncomfortable

[dinobarnesberlin]

Good point there @jerkules --the roomier fit does lend itself to warmer temps now that you mention it.
I just couldn't pass up the chance to wear shorts when we have the good weather here ---most of the time we have June-July and then winter!
but then again, with all of the climate change going on, the winters have been getting more mild these last few years.
Im going to wear these starting in a few weeks--then give them as much hell as possible.

[yannis]

Nice work @ Jercules. Mine have about a year of wear and 1 wash

[jerkules]

Looking great @yannis , such a cool texture to this denim as it fades. Especially noticeable in the thighs on your pair, looking forward to mine getting to a similar point

[yannis]

Matter of time my mam. Mine are the v2 version so definitely older than yours. Keep wearing them and you will be very happy with the way they develop

[jerkules]

Gave my jawns a machine wash. Really getting some cool character now

[dinobarnesberlin]

Looking really good — love these 19L’s!

[SKT]

@jerkules outstanding!

[JunkPants]

@jerkules Looking great!
