I recently visited Osaka and went on a denim hunt, but I'm always looking for a deal which resulted in me picking up a pair of IH-634Z from Hinoya, which lead to a lot of soul searching wondering if I should have bought 634S instead(anything on the denim?). I did watch videos on Japanese denim(mostly Osaka Five) before heading to Japan which raised my curiosity in Iron Heart 21oz. My denim interests has always been motivated by vintage 1930s-1940s style clothing which resulted in my purchasing mostly Levis Vintage Collection jeans(1901, 1933 and 1944[purchased in Tokyo a few years back]). I visited denim shops in reference to my hotel, Wrangler, Studio D'Artisan, The Real McCoy's, Momotaro and one final that I don't remember the store but it had a massive door facing a park and a grouch guy working.
-I almost sold my IH-634Z to purchase IH-634S until I tried them on again and love them.
-Why was the IH-634Z created and why are they not spoken of as if they don't exist? I found one guy on YouTube mention them a few years back but a mystery otherwise
-I can't find much on the denim or anything for that matter.
Thanks,
