Thanks Jcm 
@XTC ..me too …most of my session work and live work gets handled by 18watts (drZ Ghia at the moment )

Nice. I've only played a couple Dr. Z's, but they both sounded killer. I haven't gigged in 5 years or so, I hate that my amp isn't getting the use it deserves.

Awesome pair JCM, rock n roll

Current state of my old (circa 2010) pair of 634S.  I had them out to take a couple of pictures, so I thought I'd wear them today.  Not particularly impressive fading, but that's what you get from me.

Just a little detail of my 634s at around 14 months, washed every 2 or 3 months.

Hey people!

I have a question concerning a "maybe" crotch blowout on my 6.5 months old 634S.
The spot that is shown on the pictures was one of the first to fade and loose indigo, but then I started to drive my bike instead of walking through my hometown, and this is what happens.
The spot has increased during the last couple of days and I will not ignore it anymore.

What do you people recommend to take care of this baby mess?
I will not go to a shop and get them repaired by someone else, I want to do this myself.

Any help would be awesome!
Kind regards!

34 and 36 restocked…..

Here are some snaps of my 634s.  I don't know which batch these are from, but they have the old style arcs.  I got them off of ebay around 2009 or so. Size 36. Shamelessly low amount of evo, but they could use some repairs in the crotch. Apologies for the craptastic pics.

NICE…..

[sabergirl]

Aw, shucks…thanks, Giles!

[Anesthetist]

Those look great! Nice work.

Hey guys - sorry in advance for being the lame new guy who asks a question that's probably been asked 100s of times already on the forum! Also apologies for being long winded - important part is bolded!

I've been interested in raw denim for a while now and have been lurking on several forums. I like the idea of buying something that is of great quality that will last and last

I've finally taken the plunge and bought a pair of IH-634S and am looking forward to receiving them soon! My question is - should I pre soak or not? I know that there is no real need to do so as these jeans are sanforized. But I've also heard that it may be a good option to remove some of the excess starch/stiffness that may cause blowouts.

My main concern is durability! The idea of fading my own jeans is awesome too but is not my number 1 concern.

I should also say that I purchased W29. I think that my true size is 29.5-30 (I recently bought a pair of levis 504 and 508 - not raw - both size 29 which fit me fine in the store… they have stretched a bit now and I need to wear a belt)

Cheers!

I think you're going to end up with a great pair of jeans…and everyone started somewhere. You don't need to presoak, there's hardly any starch in these in my opinion.

For durability....make sure you wash your jeans frequently! Once a month (which isn't even that frequent) will lead to jeans that last a lot longer and that actually fade naturally and won't look predistressed.

IH-634S have been pre-soaked.  There is zero need to do it a second time.
