IH-634S-RAW - 21/23 ounce raw straight cut

[Giles]

I will get first sample on Thurs, then I will know…..

[jacoavlu]

wonder what size the sample will be… 

[Giles]

I'll give you one guess…..

[Blackheart]

33 waist…

[rocket]

+1 

[Giles]

Damn, am I that shallow…...

It's a number we've all encountered early on, and difficult to forget because of it.

[Giles]

Look what I have got….....

I specced silver hardware, and by that I meant iron donuts etc.  Haraki took me literally and used solid silver rivets.  I will change this on the production versions......

Measurements to follow

[FurattoHeddo]

Why not keep solid silver rivets, or too expensive in this day and age?

[Giles]

Bumps the price up about USD15 and lots of people prefer the authenticity of copper…..

@ampuniakudj:

just wondering
arc in this will be the normal IH arc or the SR arc??

Any news on that front?

[Giles]

Normal 634S type

[Hipporaven]

Great thanks! That's what I expected also. Otherwise it would have been an almost complete remake of the anniversary version…

[Giles]

Sizing post soak on the waist 33 sample.  I suspect there is a little more shrinkage to go….

Edited to reflect more accurate IH-634S measurements

[injunjack]

sizing/shrinking seems to be spot on…

I guess we can expect 1,5" shrinkage in lenght with time...

edit: now I'm starting to be excited...

[injunjack]

oh yes, and how's the patch?

[FurattoHeddo]

^yeah, what about the patch?

[Giles]

These were made without a patch - no need to for a sample.  But we will used the same leather patch as the Annies as that is the only patch we have with 21/23oz on it.  And for a bespoke patch I need to make 300, and that's approx twice as many as I need….

Ignore the inseam.  I will probably change it anyway, what is important (for me at least) are the other measurements.  If the only change I decide to make is plus or minus 1 or 2 inches on the hem effectively means we need to make no changes to the pattern
