Hey, everyone. Been lurking a bit for about a year and a half after purchasing a pair of very faded 634s second hand. Fell in love with the jeans -- and after acquiring a few more items (a deadstock hickory stripe western, black wabash pants)-- the brand in general.
I have been fading a pair of 21oz samurai 510's for the last year, and they had recently reached that level of fade where I start looking for my next project. I had been sort of toying with the idea of getting a fresh pair of the 634s to fade myself, as that worn pair really hooked me on the fabric.
Well, the restock and my decision to search for a pair were aligned perfectly. After a bit of back and forth with the customer service here (a truly great experience after a bit of a lack luster one trying to talk to the people at self edge) regarding measurements as I wanted a pair in a specific size with a true waist measure as low as possible, I locked in a pair. They arrived yesterday and I'm so hyped about them! Really looking forward to the journey ahead with them.
I'm attaching some photos of the old worn pair and the new pair side by side. I think the old pair is pretty impressive and it's cool to see the new pair next to an example of what potential they hold
