IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Warm to hot soak now, drying in the sun. Skipping the machine wash for now, just want to see how they fit/feel after this. If they still need it, I’ll probably run them through a wash after another soak.
-
I love this part in the thread where, after they've dropped and everyone's receiving their jeans and posting washes/fit pics, it's exciting and the start of a new jean-journey! It's bittersweet though as these probably wont be released again...

@atlasfields that is great news!!!!
-
The UHR fit post wash is perfect. I think they are my best fitting pair of denim. Also, realizing I can size down a little in the waist in the future, because these fit pretty great after the shrink.
-
@wjw had the same experience with my 634 xhsib, sized down a little to avoid a baggy fit, hoping for some stretch in the waist but they will ended up perfect and maybe the UHR will be even better
-
Really happy with a fit on these just a touch bigger than the 666. I asked them to pull me the smallest thigh measurement they could find 14.1 as long as the waist was no less than 37(37.3) I feel like it worked out perfectly. Warm to almost hot soak only
-
Hot tub soak, and wash (slow rinse) and hung to dry. Worn about 8 hours. Lofgren CXL roughout combat boots because the they’re a great match
-
They look great guys. Really regret not picking these up.
-
First pair of 634s on the way, hope I like the fit- had FOMO on this one lol.
-
These are getting maximum rotation time while the weather is still nice and cool. Breaking in nicely, I only notice their weight when they are going on or coming off.

These are possibly my best fitting jeans I've got now... I own the 634 XHS so I loved the fit, but since losing a little weight I went with a W32 instead of the W34 of my XHS
They've been soaked/washed and now halfway dry and fit me perfectly! It's also my tirst time trying this denim although I've worn other "RAW" denim from other brands...
Thanks @Shaun for picking this pair for me
I'll post pics at some point.
-
@Jord my first pair of 634s is out for delivery, I hope I like the fit!
-
Not sure if anyone else has done this. But did a second soak in hot water today. Then a hot water machine wash gentle cycle (no spin). Feels like it got the rest of the “bulk“ out of the denim. Hung them to dry and now fits like my 14oz 634’s.

@68degreesorless Hi there, I did not design these. Haraki released them as IH-634-21/23 or something like that. I loved the denim (which by the way, was a mistake when Haraki was experimenting with ways to improve the traditional 21oz denim, but he had made it, so decided to do a small run of jeans out of it), but I thought the lot number was crap.
I came up with the name Ultra Heavy Raw (UHR) and asked him to remake the denim. He was not keen, and I'm not sure he ever stocked UHR, but dd agree. Thankfully, because it is one of our best selling denims.
So, I don't think I specced the pocket bag material, though I may have because essentially the second and subsequent runs were a new Lot Number done exclusively for outside of Japan.
-
@Giles thank you for the background. Glad they survived, it's a great pair of jeans.
-
I did…Hot soaked them, then did an eco warm machine wash with no spin and hung them in front of a fan overnight. We’ll see how they are today, but I was mainly trying to get a little more shrink in the seat.
-
@northsouthdenimguy 100% of the reason why I did the second hot soak and a hot water wash. Little baggy in the butt. But as an old man, not too uncommon with jeans these days, lol.
