IH-634SV - The Vulcan - 18oz Raw Straight Cut Jean (With Hidden Pockets)

[hectic]

My top block has little shrinkage to go too after Christmas excesses….:)

Cheers guys, I'll exclusively wear them for a month and report back.

[DougNg]

Actually, I was thinking Hectic has lost some weight

[unharmed]

Glad they worked out - look great!

[hectic]

cheers man, thanks for the sizing advise prior

[MikeC]

My measurements per Rafa's request. 2 months actual wear, 2 initial hot soaks and zero washes. Tagged 35 Waist. Before the soaks, inseam was 34.
Waist-35
Front Rise-10.75
Rear Rise-15.5
Thigh-13.2
Knee-9.5
Hem-8.9
Inseam-32.4

This sizing sounds right up your alley. After the soaks, the waist was 34.8 and the thigh was 13, all the other measurements pretty much remained the same.  I'm hoping for this cut in a different fabric like wabash, duck or hickory. Love these.

hem 8.9…damn
thanks a lot mate...think I'll have to jump at these during the year...we'll see!

[MikeC]

I couldn't handle the hidden pocket being sewn in the middle, so I unstitched the middle, now I have 18oz denim lined rear pockets.

[DougNg]

Yeah, I wound up taking out one of the liners as well. The pocket I usually keep my wallet in. Kept snagging my finger or wallet on it every time I took out my wallet. The other side is still intact for when I'm working and need to put some sort of tool in my pocket

[MikeC]

There is nothing tougher or stronger than 18oz denim lined rear pockets on the market.  Licorice noose needs to look into this, especially with his plastic card holder and all…..

[MikeC]

Also, if you want a "modern" straight leg cut, get these. They are between the 634S and IHBx01. Looking at you Rafa, aka Finn666…..

[hectic]

These are starting to really reward as they bed in. Its lovely denim.

[Finn666]

I think you're looking in my direction from the first day on you was wearing these MikeC
I'll get these and you can be damn sure about it…just not so sure when these will "decorate" my legs!

This is my carry slot for my e-cig:

Is the hidden pocket in the back pocket big enough to fit an exacto?

[hectic]

Oh yes, def.

[GingerMagician]

I have a major hankering after a pair of these but, with the MBBs incoming and the Devil's Ducks next on the list, they're going to have to wait

[Guest]

I'm going to justify them by telling myself I'll be practising proper hygiene in having a healthy rotation of pants to choose from throughout the week.

[hectic]

Just note my previous comment about leg length if you particularly long legged (i.e.: post soak measurements).

[hectic]

@hectic:

Oh yes, def.

Just to clarify an exacto is a slim handled scalpel type blade correct?

[Guest]

Hmm in the shop we call it an exacto–or "x-acto"--but a quick google search isn't yielding a result comparable to the blade I'm referring to. Essentially it amounts to a box cutter.
