IH-633SII - Self Edge x Iron Heart 18oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Straight Tapered
-
I've only wore mine for four days now, but at any point do they stop bleeding? I'm particularly concerned about a pair of sneakers I have made from vegetable tanned leather - I wore them with these jeans for one day and a jarring amount of indigo bled on to them. Does this subside at any point?
I've been wearing mine for over a year now and they still bleed on some of my sneakers.

these are only available through self edge correct?

Dunno if it is dead and buried, but.. What happen to 777-SII?
-
That's what I figured, no problem
-

No, it was made by H at my request. He was very dismissive of it when it was first woven:
Over dinner at the Marriot Courtyard in Bangkok.
H - I've run the sample of Indigo/Indigo you requested
G - What's it like?
H - Well, you'll like itHe subsequently decided he liked it too and asked me if he could release it in Japan
-
Wonder why H didn't like it??? It looks like a beautiful fabric.

If I remember correctly, Haraki felt "denim" was only blue or black warp and white or natural weft. Anything else was just a twill fabric. So this blue on blue action wasn't real denim, and therefore unfit to be used for jeans.
Happily for all of us, he's become more tolerant of deviance.

So I had to give up on the 634SII and got myself a pair of these. I am so glad I did as they fit beautifully. Just need to do a first wash, but I am wearing them for a bit before I do, just my thing. LOVE this denim, I think it is one of IH best, be it all of IH denim is amazing.
