Sorry, this is an iphone pic: flathead, IH-634S-GR, AldenxUnionMade.

I think these are my favorite IH jeans, and I own a lot of them. The color is awesome, and I love my first experience with the 634 cut. One note is that these are not soft like indigo dyed IH when they are brand new, but they are already softening up. Love'em. I highly recommend everyone get a pair if they have the means.

Should give the stats a well, I am 6'3", 200lbs and wearing a 33, which is my usual IH size. From Giles's measurements, it looks like these are a tad slimmer all the way around from the regular 634s.

Thinking about picking up an Iron Heart jean. I like a slim fit jean like my Momotaro 0701. What do people think of the 666 or the Beatle Buster? Measurements on the SelfEdge site make the 666 seem like they are not as slim, is that right?

Rüdi: your optimism and general positivity are infectious. I don't think anyone loves jeans like you do :)

Thanks Seul

It's been a while since I have been here the last time.

In fact I'm completely hooked about raw denim stuff since my childhood, when the first pair of jeans were hitting our little mountain village in the late sixties (2 pairs of Levis 501 and 505 from the 50'ies inside a cloth donation parcel).

And if it's about heavy fadings I'm just completely lost.

Almost my whole life is inside this strong fading thing (Beside high mountains, nature, running and of course friends and relatives)

Since my childhood I'm trying to convince all raw denim heads who have some Holy Grail status items at home, to never throw those beauties away. They shall just wear the hell out of them. They are made for that.

In my opinion those retired favorite raw denim rags have a right to survive for ever after a long and hard life in the real world not in the virtuel web only.

That's the main goal, what the Jeasnmuseum stands for.

Everybody who doesn't want to preserve his own collection for ever at home can share his stuff to the public in the Jeasnmuseum, a raw denim cemetery which will carefully preserve all items just in the way they are coming in

So raw denim rags are flowing through my body instead of blood and keeps me alive!!
