IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@USSR:

not necessarily to criticise a whole brand based on one model

I dont criticise a whole brand I tell only about 634S 10 years old.
When did I criticise a whole brand, proof it

To quote 'It is more comfortable pocket in Samurai. Because my palm fit easy in it.' you mention another brand, not another brand's model of jeans, though I might be guilty of semantics there

Unknown washes, some nice 21 oz evo, Obenauf for the patch from time to time giving it the love that this wonderful pair of denim deserves

@USSR:

This year my 634 S turned 9 years old  ???
They are alive and feel great!!!

What changed in year 9-10?

On a positive note, I really admire any of you that rock this cut. My waist to hem ratio is now just too middle aged to get away with 634s'.

Yes they are thanks @neph93  My intro to the IH world, I really love them. About 5 years old as far as I remember. A true friendship.

10yrs, and still that solid?!

Unappreciative much?!

Definitely has another 3-5yrs life in them!

634S is no high contrast fader… but I think that’s not too bad

[neph93]

The 21oz fades in such a unique way. I’ve just bought the PXIH10AN jeans and I’m hoping for something similar over time. They are even and smooth like the 21oz. Lovely jeans @Chap

I've been into Japanese denim for close to 15 years, IH 21oz is probably my favorite denim for my purposes. I've owned more types and weights of denim than I care to keep track of.

I wear jeans in an environment where almost everyone wears slacks, khakis or suits. I can get away with wearing jeans (even though I'm in a relatively high position and expected to be more formal) because the 21oz doesn't have high contrast fades. It's just more versatile, I wear them at meetings with executive management as well as going out to dinner or running back and forth at the shooting range or going spelunking with my dogs.

They look great with a tucked in shirt and sport coat or paired with my MA1 or with rifle magazines on my belt and a plate carrier up top.

Just some final words, and that's just my humble opinion. I think I have denim pants from most of the Japanese Brands including Samurai, TFH, ONI, Momotaro, PBJ, Fullcount, RMC…  and of course IH, most of them are fantastic, beautifully made, with lots of love to details and cloths, each brand with it's own character, fading ability, cuts etc. I don't see any better or worse, just different and most of all no need for any kind of ranking... enjoy and be happy that we have these brands to satisfy our love for denim...
