IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Thanks guys!
What had me worried was the fact that the 634S showed fade super fast at the bottom of the legs, where your legs sometimes rub against each other, a lot faster than the 634UHR…
I was scared that if i started washing them weekly i was going to end up with jeans looking like this in a couple months:
Giles, which ones would you say would keep their color the longest if washed regularly? The 634S, 634B or 634BLK?

I think that the non selvedge denim in the 1634 is also really a slow fader. I have 10 wears on my pair and they are essentially brand new. Most denim I would see at least some indigo loss at the seat or whiskers.

Great pairs, Jo. Especially the older one looks fabulous.

I've worn all kinds of denim over the last 10 years. Levis, APC, Nudie, 5EP, PBJ, TFH, SugarCane, Samurai, and of course IronHeart.
The 634S is THE most stubborn to fading denim I've ever come across. I've gone through multiple other pairs of jeans in rotation, and still the 634S looks near new! That's 2.5 years of wear.

Carlos, you shouldn't worry about washing your jeans… it is true that they will become lighter, but most of that is going to come from wear. It's also true that your other jeans may hold their color better than even the highest-priced japanese denim, but that's a function of their design.
The cheaper jeans (levis, etc) are meant to the stay the same, while japanese denim is meant to wear, lighten, and deteriorate like they used to. If you want a pair of jeans to stay exactly the same, it probably wouldn't be the smartest move to by raw denim for that... they're supposed to be like a canvas. That said, if you are insistent upon it, I think that the 634s would probably be your best bet.

It's the Eye of Illuminatus. I knew there was something about this brand…

It's time for a new pair. I love my XHS but they are too tight for riding. I've got a few question for my IHF fam:
- What happened to the Zimbabwe cotton?
- Selfedge says Size 34's waist is 33.3, this site says 34; do the measurements differ depending on which site I order from?
- Is the S softer than the UHR?
- Is the S once rinsed or raw?
-
Thanks G. That helps alot. I think I know which way imma go on this one. P.

Restocked. 34's available again.

They needed some fresh air…
Can't believe they are still that dark…
