IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

[vespr1198s]

Ah, those are beautiful. I had the opportunity to see these in person, and they are even nicer in person. One surprising thing was how soft and pliable the denim had become, definitely a well worn pair for sure.

I’ve just ruin patch on my 634sr.
Lost quite a bit of weight since I bought them so decided give them hot soak.
Four boiling hot kettles and result – patch shrank and hard as crispy bacon.
Balls balls balls.

i guess you could try treating it with some obenaufs or similar and see if it will soften up some  :-\

[Splattered]

Is it recommended to straight up boil your jeans? I'd think that would be bad for your leather tag??? I always just give jeans a soak as hot as the tap will go…

as far as im aware your never supposed to go boiling hot, there was a thread about this on SUFU, as a rule dont boil your jeans, steaming hot works the best for me

@Beatle:

I'm really curious about your thoughts on sam 24 / ih 23…keep us posted

The only thing going for the Samurai 24 is their nice color. They are very nice dont get me wrong, but they lack this "je ne sais quoi" that the IH 23 have in terms of silkiness of the fabric and overall mystical magic if you see what I mean (getting spiritual here!!!). The Samurai24 are very very stiff and feel a bit like sand paper compared to the IH. I like both cuts.

I kinda like the color of the patch you obtained. How much were you able to shrink them BTW?

[ricochet]

Yeah I know I’m bloody stupid. Wanted maximum shrinkage but guess they will stretch where they was anyway. I remember now one of Giles customers had same problem by accidentally getting his SR in to tumble dryer. Patch is hard as wood and lost ¼ of size, don’t think any oil will help.

[Seul]

It looks hard as fuck if you ask me…  But please don't compare it with crispy bacon  :-\

Or I'm outta here!.. 

[riffblaster general]

yeah that patch look kinda bad ass like that.

[Giles]

These are in UK and up on the site now…...G

[that_was_easy]

Dispatched upon your return to the castle, I assume?

Sort of hard to believe these are the last batch of 23 ouncers…GLAD I GOT A PAIR 

[Giles]

Will be shipping tomorrow.  Dog tired atm…...

I have not owned Ironheart jeans before, so got two pairs, 32 and 33. My other jeans are Kato's and RRL's, nothing close to these heavyweights. I am so looking forward to trying  on these Ironhearts Cheers!

[Seul]

Going from RRL to IH…

BRACE YOURSELF LAD!.. 

[Giles]

Going from RRL to 634SR - Strap yourself in, bracing yourself will not be enough…..................

[thewickett]

never own IH and buy two pairs of SR? Ladies and gentlemen, Mo does not mess around!

[that_was_easy]

Nothing like going in head first!

[Beatle]

Oh crap, you won't know what hit you

[yo_mj]

Guarantee you're going to be grinning in amazement when you first feel them.
