IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut
-
@Kybosh most excellent! Wow.
@NorthernVictory the denim is basically the same. IDK where, but Giles confirmed this in the forum.Other than the slight variations that occur from run to run.
Edit: he says it here in the first post: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6321.0
@Giles:IH-634-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Straight Cut Jean
Made from our 21/23 raw indigo denim. This is historically one of our most popular denims, which we have just recreated it (it is unlikely to be exactly the same as the batch we made 5 or 6 years ago, but it looks and feels damn similar). It is very stiff, very warm and fades with amazing contrast.
-
Nice… I picked up the UHR for a sick sale of $200 IIRC.
-
What's the difference between this and the UHR?
The denim is effectively the same (same recipe, just woven at different times). The 634SR is a slightly fuller cut than the 634S
-
Every time I put another years worth of work on my SRs I come in here to post them and realize they are still not good enough to hang with all the destroyed ones in here…
I have no idea how you guys beat these so much.
-
@mikesantor I know I'd be interested in seeing them.
-
Ill get some pics snapped soon.
-
Aha Kybosh! To be honest I just loved these more as I kept wearing them. I do miss having the dark blue from time but I think it gives it much character as I keep wearing them and repairing them. I did finally pull the trigger on getting my second pair of IH which I now wear daily, so the SR's rarely see wear.
@mikesantor Don't be afraid to post pictures, I honestly enjoy just looking at different ways IH fade, no matter how little or how much.
-
Here we go. First showing…
-
Way to go @mikesantor they look awesome. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Is that pocket knife fade on the front right of your pocket? Looking all around good, can also tell you wash it often which is a huge plus.

Thanks guys!

Yup, it was a Hinderer that I had for a few years. I have since sold it. I actually got this pair when it first came out and they only have 1 initial soak and 1 wash.
Almost time for me to buy my second pair of IH jeans and my first shirt. I need some of those waffle henleys in my life.
-
Keep in mind that a cold soak in a bucket will not give you the full amount of shrinkage

@Max Power
A few possibly dumb questions.- Since it will eventually stretch back to tag size, is it a problem if I don't get maximum shrinkage?
- My 634sr is stiff and dry now. Should I soak it in hot water again?

@Giles : Hate to bother you but could you please answer what may be not-so-smart questions?
