@flannel-slut I took your advice and gave them the RAW treatment with a two hour soak and 30° wash afterwards. The 634SR were a little too loose in the waist anyway so I was hoping for a bit of shrinkage. And I must say … they turned out to be perfect. After 5 years of wearing 777s I need to get used to the more loose and roomy look, but they actually are extremely comfortable. The length also turned out perfectly to be able to wear them without a cuff if I feel like it.
@popvulture I noticed that there was a batch in 2011 that was made out of the 21/23 RAW denim which had this patch. That’s why I also edited my post already. But thnx for your help 
@flannel-slut that sounds pretty reasonable. I was looking at the images again and the patch actually looks like it’s seen some water. The leather doesn’t look that bright anymore. The jean is in pretty mint condition judging from the pictures.
I must say I’ve never had any problems with neither my 777-XHS nor my 777-XHSib. But maybe I was just lucky with the buttonholes. After all the jeans are handmade so no hole is created equal I guess. I still have major issues with one buttonhole in my trucker 526PJ that I still struggle to button up even after two years.
@Kasi said in IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:
Hate high rise.
Me too. I wear my jeans quite low and always had too much fabric between my legs, even with like a LeanDean Nudie which is supposedly mid rise, until I found the 777 cut. Even though I must say the IronHeart Mid Rise like the 634, or 666 are great as well.

Thnx @flannel-slut 
… guess the loose fit just takes a little time to get used to, but they’re definitely extremely comfortable that’s for sure.
I still don’t understand if there is a difference between the 634S-UHR and the RAW, if there is any at all. Maybe just a rebranding?
By the way these I got for 134 € that’s about $146 … I love our (ebay-) Kleinanzeigen here in Germany. This is the fifth pair I was able to buy there and all of them were in great conditions.

@flannel-slut now that I’m writing this … these are the 634S-RAW not the UHR. What’s the difference between these two models?

I was just able to pull the trigger on a 634 UHR on ebay and the guy that sold them doesn’t know if they were soaked/washed already. He had bought them on ebay also but they were hemmed, which the previous seller didn’t point out and they were too short for him. Wondering how I could tell if they were soaked/washed before already like they’re supposed to?
