IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I've been walking in the streets of NY. 7 miles today, and 8 miles yesterday. People asked me if my jeans (634 25oz) were Levi's… I told them "cho! this is Iron Heart, the next level in jeans, man".
The walking generated some fades, sorry no pix as I dont have a camera with me
The jeans are very very heavy, but quite comfortable for long distance travel. Except for running, which is not very easy, because lifting ones knees is HARD!
I sa myself in a mirror and before I realized it was me, I thought, these are nice pants. -
I suspect not, the overdying process does unpredictable things to the denim. We have had to discard a whole production run of one type of jeans we made once because the overdying process wrecked the jeans. In a denim as expensive as this and with jeans that are so hard to make, I think we'd need our heads examined if we even thought we should give it a go…......

Well, in this particular case, the culprits were a 301 type cut, so the side seams were whipped (the side seams of the 301 type cut are not selvedge). The overdye process effectively ate the crap out of the whipping and the side seams disintegrated. We had to bin them, all 100 pairs…....Of course, this is not likely to be an issue with the xhs, but it illustrates how we can be caught out. And the xhs are simply too costly. I'm not up for the risk......
OD or not, somewhere along i need to grab myself a pair of these!
