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

[Jek]

Walked into airport security with my knife still clipped into my Vulcans. The TSA guy wasn't thrilled. :o

To anyone that wants to answer….

I noticed that the outside coin pocket rivet on Jek's jeans looks a little bit high, where there appears to be a slight lip of metal above the denim, and the horizontal line of stitching is visible below the rivet.

My IHxB01s have the same thing. The medial coin pocket rivet is covering the horizontal stitching and about 1mm of coin pocket denim is above the rivet, but on the outside rivet the metal overhangs the pocket by about .5mm

I didn't notice it for a week or two, and then just shrugged it off as a small imperfection and moved on...but seeing it on Jek's pants has sparked my curiosity. Whats the story?

EDIT: photo added of Jek's. Mine looks basically the same

What's that black leather addition? I like it. With the rivet on top, it looks stock. Or is someone mod'ing their IH jeans? That would be a cool thread - IH modifications.

Seth, This is how the SV' are; they come with the patch.

[Snowy]

Check them out in the store for more info

[Seth]

Yes, thank you. I never noticed it before.

Looks same as mine? Maybe the rivet is a hair off but no big deal…

It's small imperfection.  That is what happens when human beings get involved in the production process.  If you learn to embrace it, you'll love it….

@jek. I did the same thing at a saints game.  Didn't wanna walk back to my loft and didn't wanna throw my benchmade knife away. Stuck the bitch under my belt buckle. And went to another gate.
Good thing it's a small knife.

a few shots of my vulcans. Bought in July 2013 rotation with two other pairs of iron hearts.

yup…that was my thought when i first saw it

Below's a bit of a shot showing how my SV's are looking 6 months in. Photo taken out @ lunch today by the water.

What you'll notice is a bit of a gradient. Some lighter blues near the thigh, quite an electric blue near the knee, and then cray cray dark down below the knee. In short, looking really good.

[JoshJames]

I guess I should stretch this up to prevent further wearing ?

[Chris]

I would.  Preventive maintenance is always a good thing in my book.

[Seul]

A stitch in time saves nine.

[JoshJames]

Just stitch up with needle n thread ?

[Chris]

Yeah, that's all I'd do.  It's not big enough to need any patching.

New website pic…

I love these new photos. Makes the denim really pop

[Giles]

Thank you.  I already hate the old ones…..
