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

[Guest]

fear not Till, I hit 40 last month and my waistline has changed about 1" in 20 years…keep fit and have fun !
As I stated in previous thread, my first bespoke suit which was 21st b'day present still fits

[Guest]

Beatle, I'm 37 and the waist is 32-33. I hope it will still be there at 40. But America and age wasn't good to me.

Stewart, congrats. That's a real accomplishment. At age 21 I was wearing 28/29. Skinny guy. I need to get down to 31-32 for my good suits to fit me well again. I can get in and I can close them now. I can even breathe. But I can't say they fit me well. I could let them out a little bit probably but I like the goal.

How many wears you got on your 634SR, btw?

If I move back to Europe I think I will be easily able to stay in shape.

[Guest]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I will actually spend a good part of the summer in Europe. Still to hot for my IH stuff, I think. And I like to travel light. I actually have a decent second wardrobe in Berlin. That makes it easier. But from there I take many small trips and on those I pack super light.

I'm gonna be wearin' my 634s and my 634S-B all summer and I'm in Austin too tfar, no excuses!

[Beatle]

right on, Cowboy+

[Dchill]

Man….that cowboy thing has really stuck, oh well.  Giddy up!

Yee ha

[Dchill]

That's it G, you're gettin' the hang of it.

[Giles]

I have a completely uncontrollable urge to scream Yee Ha when I am on the verge of control when skiing.  Which actually, is most of the time…G

I keep a pocketknife in the right back pocket of my 634SRs. It's about a four and a half inch handle, and the pivot end of the handle is always rubbing against the top seam of the back pocket liner. A little while ago, the top seam separated from the back pocket

Funny thing is, I mentioned that to my mom on Sunday dinner, she finds some matching thread and a low gauge needle, and fixed it right up!

Yay for moms!!!

Just wanted to share

[Beatle]

Kudos, DougNg´s mom ! The last time I gave mine a pair of Eternals which had a hole in the back pocket…she cut the frayed denim off...ever since I do it myself+

@shabooba:

The grass ain't greener on the other side. I do aspire for a ridiculously heavy-as-fuck pair of unsanforized  jeans (no interest in the upcoming 35-oz though)

What exactly are these upcoming 35 oz. jeans of which you speak? New IH model?

[Giles]

They are a heavy flannel lined 634S.  So 21oz selvedge plus aprox 13/14oz for the flannel.

Got mine wet in sea during my holidays and they went super stiff on drying….I love the extreme nature of these jeans.

[Heavy Duty]

Still to start breaking these badboys in

[DougNg]

They'll eventually break in. Been wearing mine for nearly six weeks now straight, on top of the two or three months I wore them in the Fall/Winter and they're finally not standing on their own anymore…

However, they still make a lot of fucking noise!!!
