IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

To celebrate VMC in Zurich's 25th anniversary on 11th September 2011, we produced a batch of 25oz denim, now known as XHS.

IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Our classic straight cut jean in our selvedge indigo XHS (extra heavy selvedge) 25oz denim. This ultra heavy denim is at the limit of what can be made and is not for the faint of heart. Super-stiff when new and requires some "breaking-in"- with time and wear it becomes soft, pliable and very comfy.

Speechless.

Think 25oz is hard enough?

Three pairs 25oz IH-634-XHS next to three pairs 21oz IH-634S

Fuck me… 

[riffblaster general]

wow. thats gnarly

[nicolnicolnicol]

I think that this have been said some where else before.. But please pardon me if I say this again. Will this denim be used for the busters? If so, instant purchase.

[Giles]

The question has been asked and I have not answered it.

Not being deliberately unhelpful, but I have not even taken delivery of this lot yet.

I need to see how these do….....(and than have a chat with Beats and Haraki)......

[nicolnicolnicol]

Right G.. But just to confirm again. This denim would be the same as the VMC 634XHS/666XHS. Right?

And another pair of denim which would be out soon in the 634 would be the 634s RAW right? Sorry if it's confusing..

must be too thick to sew belt loops into waistband?

@jacoavlu:

We could have done it, but we decided it would make the waistband really uncomfortable….

[jacoavlu]

understood

Yes this is the same denim as used in the IH-634-VMC and IH-666-VMC.

And yes, coming up later in the year is the IH-634S-RAW, which is the 634S cut but in the 21/23oz denim we used on the IH-634SR.

OK?

[nicolnicolnicol]

Okay boss.. I get it now..

[easy_hk]

[dave]

Wow.. you wouldn't think 4 ounces would make that much difference in thickness

To celebrate VMC in Zurich's 25th anniversary on 11th September 2011, we produced a batch of 25oz denim.  This denim is being made into both the 634 (straight) and the 666 (super slim tapered) cuts.  150 of each cut are being specifically made for VMC and will be designated the IH-634-VMC and the IH-666-VMC.  The balance of the denim is being used for other projects, the IH-634-XHS (extra heavy selvage) being the first.  Identical to the VMC version in all respects other than they have different patch and flasher.

The VMC versions will only be available from VMC in Zurich.
