great job al6ert. if you get a moment can you give a rough history (time worn, washes, etc).
i always admire folks who stick with their denim for the long haul, i tend to rotate too many pairs & try different denims & cuts before any pair can really bloom

Sure thing. I put a year and half of everyday wear on them after purchasing them 3.5 years ago. Since then, I only occasionally wear them as my INDO’s and 07BKs get the brunt of my attention. I’d say over the past 2 years, I’ve probably worn them in aggregated of two additional months. They are my fullest cut jean and probably my most well-worn pair. I don’t believe that I initially soaked them, but for the better part of their first year, I hand washed them (approx. three times). Since then, I’ve turned them inside-out, machine washed, and hung dry (approx. three additional times). So yeah, I’d say: 1 year, 8 months of wear and 6 washes. As far as wear is concerned, I wouldn’t say that I’ve worn them particularly hard, but I am pretty city active: walking, biking, etc. As with all my pairs, I make sure that they see a handful of hiking and mountain biking trails. They’ve always been super comfortable and ridiculously breathable. I wouldn’t hesitate to wear these in the hottest of weather and that’s why I (default) recommend the 21 oz. IH flagship denim to anyone that is new to heavy weight jeans. I’d expect similar fading results from others that wear their 634s as long as I have, but I could never put a price on them as they feel uniquely mine and make everything I wear (with them) look good.
