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

Some detail shots. After about 3 months daily wear, they have softened up immensely.

Nice…...

I feel bad for my 555-03. The Vulcans stole all their thunder! Here's one badass hammer!

great progress mate…they're coming along nicely!

Unharmed those are fantastic

Looking great!

Thanks, guys. I struggle to find a reason to put any other pair on at the moment.

[MikeC]

^agreed bro.

[MikeC]

Wow, my Vulcans just turned the corner comfort wise. I've worn them for 3 months (actual).  If you can deal with the 18oz for 2-3 months, you will be more than pleasantly surprised….

Seriously. Such a great denim and so awesome when it starts to break in.

[Anesthetist]

Anyone else think that 18oz is tougher to break in than the 21oz denim?

[Giles]

Me

[MikeC]

It's raw unsanforized, it's definitely tougher to break in.

Does anyone have W34 post soak measurements available?  Slightly worried about these being a bit slimmer than a standard 634S, so I may want to upsize to W35.  Thanks.

I was wondering where you were, Dave

Thought you might like these

I don't have waist 34 post soak, but a few pages back are my waist 35 post soak (2 initial soaks).

Doug, haven't been around here much lately! My 2.5 year old 634S are to the point where they aren't really okay for office wear anymore (not to mention the impending crouch blowout), and thus I'm back to see if I should try something else or just get some more 634S.  You should be happy to hear that the old pair bears a nice Strider PT stamp as well.  Heh.  I've been thinking about a new knife too…can't make my mind up.  ZT 0550 (Hinderer on the cheap), CQC-7/8 (CQC-7 is probably the first knife I lusted after as a teenage boy scout), SJ75...

MikeC, I saw your post soak W35 measurements, thanks for taking those.  They will definitely be instrumental in my decision.

[DougNg]

Totally SJ75 out of the three

And hidden back pockets for complete conceal carry with your preferred carry location…
