IH-634SV - The Vulcan - 18oz Raw Straight Cut Jean (With Hidden Pockets)

[Josh James]

Ive had mine since July. Denim Is still cardboard stif. Love it.  My knife has always slid on and off easy.  I haven't noticed the leather any different from when I purchased them.

I've been wearing mine every day since May, with a summer of hard work, and the denim has softened some, but it's still much stiffer than my 21 oz 634S.  I also really like the 18 oz.  The leather triangle hasn't smushed down at all- I wore my rule there all summer, and it looks brand new.  It's surprisingly soft too.  These are seriously great jeans- I marvel that they don't get more love around here.  For those of us in the know…

5 days a week here. They're not a beginner's denim that's for sure. Long term love. Somewhere it was mentioned that it was surprising I went these over trad 634S due to the 634S having the colorfast treatment. 3 or so months in and these SV's have only gently whispered about their underlying journey. They're going to be holding out for at least a year I know it.

Another vulcan wearer, very nice :).

I love how the back pockets fade from the smaller pockets inside! Looking cool!

I love the bright blues coming out on the indigo winchy! I've been wearing my Vulcans for about a month and they've gotten super comfy already. I had to take out the hidden back pockets though. I had too much trouble with getting my wallet into them, they'd get caught on those hidden pockets. I figure the material I took out will make a great patch if I need it in the future though!

Cheers Jek, be sure to post some pics soon.

Very cool, will any of these jeans have a larger front rise…definitely too tight...suggestions?

The 666S are also made of 18oz raw denim and have a slightly bigger front rise. Overall they are a slimmer cut however.

Probably discussed elsewhere, but these will be my first IH jeans and I'm not sure about sizing. Does anyone have any measurements a size 31 that have been worn for a few months? I've looked through the thread but couldn't find anything. If they end up measuring about the same as they do pre-soak 31 should be fine, otherwise I have to size up to a 32.

Hi Carl,

I've got a pair of sz 30's. Post soak after 3 months wear they are no where near as loose as they were prior. Due to pre-soak then being unsanforized, they will never stretch right back out. I suggest you size up to 32's, and they will shrink to perfection for you.

Alright, I will order 32 then. Most of my jeans measures 32" (my true waist too) so it makes sense. Cheers.

Excellent. Look forward to seeing the fit pics!

Lamo update time. 3+ months of 5 days a week wear, the honeycombs are finally starting to show some colour.

Looking good Snowy, that 18oz is some hard wearing stuff!

[Snowy]

Thanks mate, agree. There was some apprehension a few pages back about them not making a good office denim due to fast fading.

Hardly the case at all. Solid IH, really subtle evolution :).

I am finding that the 18oz is the hardest to fade. Even the 21oz seems to fade quicker.

Agree…

My 21 oz are significantly more faded than my Vulcans, and i've probably clocked more days in the Vulcans now (and a lot harder days…)  The 18 oz takes its time, but it's fine by me- I love dark denim, and I'm in no hurry.

43oz of denim. I'm not cold. MegaBB and Vulcans
