IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

Good news
I have just tracked these.  It appears that they have cleared customs and are now en route to my local UPS depot, so arrival here should be tomorrow

Bad news
UPS do not deliver here until about 11:00 AM.  Then when they arrive, I have to measure them all, take photos etc etc etc before they go up on the site.  My sensible guessimate for when they will be up on the site is 13:00 UK time…...

a lot of excitement surrounding these babies.  curious to see them myself . . .

2PM Paris time, gives me more time to exercise, after watching Australia destroy the USA in the Rugby World Cup… Perfect timing.

One question, Giles (and sorry if I'm missing something obvious in other threads, in which case, just tell me to screw off): you post about the 634 XHS, but not about the 666 XHS. Is it because you're so swamped or because the 666's aren't due at the same time as the 634's?

Hey G, any idea whether these should be soaked before worn?  I.e. are they gonna be so stiff that it might damage them if you don't soak them?  That's what the SR's were like, right?

XHS FRENZY COMING AT YOU TOMORROW G!!

[rocket]

[Beatle]

no soaking …these are sanforized...

You are missing nothing Mr Bright Eyes.

Haraki usually sends me photos of finished production items as soon as he gets them in Hachioji.  He did this with the IH-634-XHS, hence this thread was created.

Given how busy he is, I told him not to bother doing that with the IH-666-XHS.

Rest assured the IH-666-XHS are in the current shipment.

I will get both versions up on the site tomorrow.

It's going to be a long weekend waiting for the UPS man, assuming I can cop my size that is!

[kit99bar]

I'm really excited to stare at measurements tomorrow

[Giles]

Getting prepped for some 25oz hemming tomorrow….....

For a second I thought you were posting a picture of upcoming 32oz IH denim

666XHS sanforized… will be harder to guess the size!  :-\

I thought of comparing the sizes of 666S and 666XHS. Raw the first, sanforized the second. That's difficult for me.

i presume that 16 pages is a forum record for a product thread before said product is available?
