IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Max Power]

"Wow.. you wouldn't think 4 ounces would make that much difference in thickness"

–> It's a strange thing to describe the thickness and feeling of denim just by the weight. For example, I found, that the 19 oz Samurai denim didn't feel much heavier than the 17 and even the 15oz denim. The 21 oz is remarkably thicker and again, the 24/27 oz denim felt much heavier.
And my 14-14,5 oz LVCs feel much lighter than my 15,7oz Momos.

So, there's much more than just the weight, like G said, these 25 oz IHs seem to be very stiff and tightly woven, which may make them feel even heavier.

Real men can't get into those girly skinny ass bitch pants

Haha.. I couldn't fit the devils even if I go up two sizes. I already size up one in 634 so my thighs can fit.

If you can go a full year in 25 oz IronHeart, I'd call you all real men

@nicolnicolnicol:

Right G.. But just to confirm again. This denim would be the same as the VMC 634XHS/666XHS. Right?

And another pair of denim which would be out soon in the 634 would be the 634s RAW right? Sorry if it's confusing..

Yes this is the same denim as used in the IH-634-VMC and IH-666-VMC.

And yes, coming up later in the year is the IH-634S-RAW, which is the 634S cut but in the 21/23oz denim we used on the IH-634SR.

OK?

Sorry, new guy here :), what exactly is 21/23oz?  I mean, why is there a slash?  Does it get heavier in sunlight or something?

^Unsanforized, shrink-to-fit denim that weighs 21oz presoak/wash and 23oz after touching water because of the shrinkage …

Now thàt'd be astonishing a feat!..

Oh, interesting.  So do you size up when you buy, then soak to shrink, and then get it to stretch to you by wearing it all of the time?

[Seul]

It shrinks to tagged size… So eg. a tagged 32 will measure ~33.5/ 34 and will shrink to 32 after a hotsoak.

Maybe it should get lighter in sunlight and heavier at night, that way you're always at a comfortable temperature underneath

Oh, wow, an added layer of complication in ordering jeans over the internet, LOL

Thanks to Iron Heart UK Forum comunity, I never missed a buy.

[Jsticklee]

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

[jimmy]

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

[Paul9221]

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.

[Chris]

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.
