[Jsticklee]

Anoyone tried these on? Could you even sit with your legs crossed?? So awesome….

G is the only one that has a pair at the moment

Will these have the same measurements as the 634S?

[ADDIC]

will there ever be another batch of 25oz jeans made again? i was hoping to buy a pair but school is cleaning me out.

Probably not.  These were nearly backbreakers.  If you go back through the old posts, Haraki had to constantly check on the denim at the factory to troubleshoot problems, and the mill still nearly decided to give up on it.  Add in the issues with sewing the jeans and the considerable expense in producing something that pushed the limits of what's possible as strongly as these did, and I doubt Iron Heart will be eager to do it again.

Yes you can - he says in falsetto…..

That is the plan, but all denim behaves differently, so there will be some variation…..

I have spent a lot of time talking to Haraki about these over the last couple of days.  He is extremely proud of them and whilst they caused immense problems in the making (to get 300 good pairs for VMC, the factory have to make 370), he believes that now they have worked out how to make them, they should get easier.  Plus, the Japanese domestic market is screaming out for them, so I think we may see them continue in production.  Albeit in limited batches….

as a bit of an aside
what happens to non-A grade 25oz IH denim?

[Giles]

Never asked the question…

[jacoavlu]

well don't bother, was just curious

[Jsticklee]

Feeling like a double agent…. Ok XHS.. Now i'm playing for your team... Just you, me and IH-634S-B...

Sometimes I'm happy to be wrong…

not saying this is what is done with these but normally with 100% cotton its sold on in weight for recycle. fabrics like duck/calico/art canvas/ usually use recycled cotton.

Oh, I thought you had some of the 634XHS already.  I figured you had tried them on and could compare the fitting between a 634S and a 634XHS.

How many pair would be sold on this website???? or at selfedge in LA????? I have a fear that once they come up on the website, within hours they will be gone. Gotta get my hands on these!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Giles]

I do have them and am wearing them but it is a first sample, I do not trust first samples.

Probably enough

First sample is like the first batch, right?  The ones that will go on sale will be the second batch?
