IH-634SV - The Vulcan - 18oz Raw Straight Cut Jean (With Hidden Pockets)

[Adman103]

I kinda trashed my Vulcans today- ripped out the plaster walls of my bathroom, pounded apart the cast iron tub, and generally made a mess- and the Vulcans did great.  After a hard shake out, we're ready to go again tomorrow.  I've noticed the first signs of some fading, only visible in sunlight, and I'm really impressed by the fit on these- they stay up well, and I can still move well in them.  The 18 oz. denim is starting to soften in the seat, but it's still rough and hairy everywhere else.  Great, great jeans.

How'd the repairs go Mike?  I was thinking of using Railcar on another pair of mine…  It's kinda cool how the militant green arcs become more visible after the denim fades a little.

Ugh that vertical fading… So fucking good...

Really nice progress MC.  Love this denim… These are my best fitting most comfortable jeans, but a long way to go to get where you are.....

[MikeC]

I got dog shit on my jeans, so I was forced to wash them.  They feel waaay more comfortable after the wash. They had 6 months actual wear before the first wash. All my combs stayed in place. You really can't beat Haraki-San's original fabrics, especially the raw Unsanforized shit. I like how he does the raw Unsanforized less than sanforized, it makes the raw drops that much more special.

Day 1 in my Vulcans

They look really nice.

I'm a big fan. They are really soft. Looking forward to the denim to settle.

Yours are soft, huh?  Man, mine are still stiff as hell- although they're pretty well embedded with sweat and building dust at this point…  The denim is starting to soften up a little in the seat, and around the waist near the pockets (the high traffic areas), but the rest of it is pretty stiff.  It is really cool denim, and I love the fit of these.  Looks cool derivative!

[Bluegrass]

Yes, looks great D - I love this denim too - i wasn't crazy about the fit on my 666S (tight thighs and too much ass showing) but I loved the 18oz - now that I have these, they are so much more comfortable that I sold my Devils to my bro-in-law.  It's such a great combination - these jeans in this denim are the nuts.

Love them

Nice- the ultimate Vulcans pic…  Love how the 18 oz denim shows off in that shot too...  I've said it before, and I'm sure many others have as well, but I love the differences with the 18 oz and 21 oz denim- the 21 oz is so soft, and has a beautiful sheen, but the 18 oz is rough and ready, and I can tell it's going to give up some incredible fades.  A while back Giles pointed me to the 666s thread, and I find myself drooling over some of the incredible pairs there- and the Vulcans will be just as spectacular.

Mines in the mail.  July 1st muffuggas whoohoo. 
Scared I'm not going to want to wear my mega Beatle busters as much this summer.

Your MBBs are probably cooler than the Vulcans. Tight weave=scweddy balls.

[Josh James]

Mike. I think the biggest problem is my MBB are just to big for me.  Hoping for a much better fit come Monday.

Love this patch

3 days of wear hoping to get a little more stretch so I can bottom the top bottom comfortably.
