IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
My pair was under the tree yesterday morning. Dig the heck out of 'em. Really fun to wear.
Managed to split a finger open while wrestling with the bottom two buttons over the course of about 10 minutes. Thankfully, the ib colour is sufficiently dark to hide the crimson staining of any buttoning misadventures. Top two were way easier, for whatever reason. All part of the fun, ay.
Waist has already stretched about a half-inch.
Only took a few hours to learn that wire pocket clips will not withstand the creasing of these jeans.

My EDC while wearing these has been modified accordingly

I've been wanting to make the jump to a pair of XHS's and wear the para 3 lightweight every day. Good to know about the wire clip. When I was running a knife store in SF I would get the occasional bent out clip like this for repair. I always sent it into Spyderco for a sharpening/spa day and they usually fix it or replace it. They were always really cool about it.

@b34ns Oh, time out; it wasn't We Be Knives was it?! That store is so. flippin'. cool. Potentially a very dangerous place to go (for the wallet) when a little bit tipsy on Pier 39
Thankfully, the wire clip bent back into approximate shape without much difficulty. I have lots of experience reshaping k-wampus clips
My OG Tasman Salt is holding up much better in the pocket so far. -
Targét chic

@nurunuru I live those guys! You're absolutely right about going there tipsy or even sober!
I used to run the Town Cutler shop that my friend and former chef co-worker at Quince started back in 2011. It's started out selling pieces from Aaron Wilburn and Shosui Takeda as well as your everyday culinary and outdoor heritage knives. He then moved into manufacturing his own line. When the pandemic hit he closed the SF and Chicago stores and decided to focus only on manufacturing his line of knives and tools. I came along for the ride and continued working with him for a couple more years. Being part of San Francisco's very small but very old cutler culture will forever be a special part of my life.
Love those 634's btw!

@SourPower
Looking fantastic man. -
Averaging one pair of Iron Heart's heaviest denim every decade. Cheers to sustainability.
Very happy with my decision to size up here! 45-minute warm soak at 85F did the job of getting out the necessary shrinkage while also keeping as much indigo as possible.
Digging having more room in the top block + waist as I age, along with enough leg opening to finally accommodate engineer boots.
And now I ask myself, to cuff or not to cuff?
-
@Johnny-Bravvo I dig the no cuff look homie. Great choice for a decade pair, though I doubt you won’t fold and grab another in the next few years haha
-
Haven’t been wearing these as hard as I normally would a new pair…but they are getting 90% of the wear time. Things are starting to get interesting.
(Not the best indoor light)
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Mizmazzle quick to fade! Lookin good!
-
@Mizmazzle Keep up the good work on fading them.
-
@Johnny-Bravvo Lookn' good with no cuff

@Johnny-Bravvo
Boots + Stacking + No cuff, looks badass.
