I am always amazed by the super thickness of the leather patch. One of the details I appreciate so much

Are the 634s belt loops sewn into the waist band like the 634sr?

sergedenimes, no they are not…

tx landocal, any word on if that will ever happen i think it would be a cool addition!

[LandoCal126 0]

You would have to find out from G, but I agree I would love it. I have a feeling that Haraki-San has a reason why he chooses not to do it on them but I am just speculating…

I'm looking at my 634S and it looks like my belt loops are sewn into the waist band…...am I missing something?

[LandoCal126 0]

Mine are not. I will take a flick of the difference in like 30 mins. Have to run out to grab something real quick… BRB

[Beatle]

I can't think of the technical term…

[Giles]

I will aske Haraki, he does it on virtually every other jean.  I do not know the technical term either.  Haraki just says, "Belt loop stitched into the waist band"

[Beatle]

Drives me nuts..what good does ot do that there´s a term for raised belt loops..

What I love about the sewn in to waist band belt loop is the secondary option to attache a key7hook

[LandoCal126 0]

Not to mention the added strength of the loops themselves…

Just got my first pair of Iron Heart jeans and I'm very impressed. I love how the top block fits but the lower leg kinda bothers me. They're a bit too long and the stacking makes me look super short, especially with how big the leg opening is. Nothing a quick trip to a tailor to get them hemmed couldn't fix though!

Congrats! You may want to warn your tailor to pick up some extra needles…

I had a note the other day from a Russian customer who said every tailor in town bust a needle on his 634S when he needed them hemmed….

probably a good idea, I got a lot of Korean friends though so I'm sure one of their mom's can do it haha

The SExIH07 (including BK) and 634SR both have the belt loops sewn into the waistband, but the 634S (and S-B) do not. It appears that other than IH, most  Japanese brands do not sew the belt loops into the waistband. I haven't seen it on any Samurais, SDAs, Sugar Canes, Onis, PBJs, or Eternals, for example.

The only other brands that I can think of seeing it on are Pace and Paul Smith Red Ear.

So here is the reason that the belt loops are not sewn into the waist band of the 634S.  When I tell you, you will not believe how obvious the answer is, I can't believe that any of us did not work it out for ourselves….. Haraki just has not got around to altering the pattern.

He will do soon.
