IH-634S-RAW - 21/23 ounce raw straight cut

[Mikko]

Hello IH crew, first post here. Coming from mostly Samurais, these will be my first touch with Iron Heart. Based on what I've read about this particular denim, I'm very stoked.

As the hype and impatience rise I've even considered buying the original Anniversaries since some still seem to be available via Rakuten. What appeals me in the Anniversaries is their roomier thigh, but what I've understood the 634 cut isn't actually skinny on that department either. Then again, why not both. Cheers.

Welcome Mikko.

Careful if buying the Annies from Rakuten, the Japanese sold versions were shorter in the leg than the ones I sold.  That may or may not be an issue for you, just be aware…

The 634SR are roomier in the thigh than the 634S cut, but check out the sizing chart on the website.  The 634S cut is not a skinny cut.

You could consider a pair of 634-XHS, they feel roomier than the 21oz S version...

[Mikko]

Thanks Giles.

Valuable advice there, since he length actually is an issue. 34-35" post-soak is fine but anything less than 34" and we're having a manpri situation. I better not risk it.

I'll just wait for these to arrive. Can't miss this denim at any price.

The Japanese model, shrinks to 33…..

[Mikko]

Ok. Well, makes my decision easier.

G,

Filled out the preorder form yesterday; read the thread today and realized the order went in weeks ago.  Does my preorder still "count"? 

[Giles]

Probably.  Read the text of the preorder form.  It does not guarantee that you will get what you want, but it does put you on the fast track,  I have plenty more of these coming in than "pre-orders", so I am sure you will be OK

[ronaldlsh]

Still no news on these G?

[Giles]

Sample being made, prod run due here in Nov

[ronaldlsh]

Thanks G….

Looking forward to it.

[injunjack]

November is soon…. any idea beg., mid. or late Nov.?

[Giles]

Late I would guess

[ampuniakudj]

just wondering
arc in this will be the normal IH arc or the SR arc??

[Giles]

I did not spec, so we'll see what Haraki decides

[7tacos]

Is this batch going to be built with a slightly higher rise similar to the XHS series?  I think I'd prefer and extra inch or so in the back myself. 
Apologies if this has already been addressed earlier in the thread.

[Giles]

I will get first sample on Thurs, then I will know…..

[jacoavlu]

wonder what size the sample will be… 

[Giles]

I'll give you one guess…..
