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

[Friday]

I guess retailers want to show the true silhouette of the jeans hence the no cuffs decision.
For me personally, I like both ways but sometimes, imo the proper length which allows one to have at least an inch of cuff  when wished, and no cuffs when looking for a cleaner look especially when wearing dress shoes or boots alike is a popular choice. I will eventually hemmed my jeans when the time comes but for now will wear them with big cuffs. Cuffs FTW.. 

Anyway love those standings snowman!!

@Bluegrass:

Road Champs photobombed your vulcan solo!

ahem yeah, they did :). Didn't want to cut them out after the fact once it was all taken.

Just washed a pair of 36" in the waist on 80 degrees. They shrunk 2.75inch in the waist. The leatherbadge on the back was destroyed. Black leather on the right side is still ok. Now I am going to buy a 40.

What is your true waist size? They will stretch back out a bit.

[Snowy]

If they were tight before the wash you'll never get them back. If they were a bit loose before the wash, they should stretch back to perfect.

My true size is 38 (96-99cm) as I just found out. Usually I like to have some space in my jeans. I don't like them too tight. For me the 36 is not perfect anymore, but this test was important for me, to see what really happens if I wash this jeans on a very high degree. So now I know it can shrink up to 2.5-2.75 inches. I am not that good in meassuring so it's something in between. 80 degrees:) soon i will try out 90 degrees, to see if it shrinks even more, but i think the maximum is reached. Sorry for the bad English guys!

expensive lesson to learn, sorry about it going that way.

[Guest]

Yes. Expensive. But I've learned it. Most important.

[madmonday]

great attitude, hopeful you can sell & recoup some funds & try again.

good luck & if able please post some images when you get a pair that you are happy with the fit.

[Guest]

Thank you! Luck is always needed:)

[Bluegrass]

And you don't have to soak/wash so hot… no need to fry your patch!

[Guest]

you right. it was just an experiment to check what heappens.

[Bluegrass]

well good luck with the next pair - at least you know what NOT to do now…

[Jek]

Here are mine at 6 month. Not tons going on but getting there…

[Anesthetist]

Nice pair Jek, they are some hard wearing SOBs aren't they!

[Jek]

No doubt! I'm gonna tame these bastards though…

[Jek]

Hike got a little muddier than expected today.

I'm thinking of re-running these without the leather knife protector on the front pocket.  Basically the Vulcan V2, would you guys prefer that?  Basically it would be a 18oz version of the 634S….

fwiw, if i were to get the vulcan, which I will in the future, Ill go with the leather protector..
