Nice belt, brah.

But on a serious note, did the little lanyard come with the jeans? That's a nice touch if they did.

Why'd you get the 634?

That denim is booty compared to what comes on the 634s.

this is my first pair of IH, last time I asked about this 634, but no one answered

i did size down 1, but the denim is still stiff like hell, maybe after 1 week of wear they will fit my body shape... and yea I am going to cuff it... thanks mate!

Honestly? Is it really any different, aside from the selvedge? I find it pretty hard to believe that Iron Heart is going to the trouble to contract out a "crappy" 21 oz denim from a mill. I assumed the denim on the 634 and 634s was the same but the 634s was cut from the edge of the roll.

[gonegonegone]

the 634s denim is darker and not as shiny.

That could be the way its lighted in the photos shoque... I agree with sell veg stating that it wouldn't make sense to have a completely different batch of denim textile for the 634 but then again the 634 usually goes for 19000~JPY mark whilst the 634s goes for 25000~ JPY on both R.A.C rakuten and yahoo.jp auctions, so it may indicate an inferior textile utilization for the 634, or it may just be a clever marketing scheme.

Then again, I'm no expert on 21oz denim textile manufacturing, can someone please enlighten this issue as I'm quite interested to know as well.

anyways, you've got yourself a pair of Iron Hearts, and thats a lot better than a lot of other jeans out there, congrats on the purchase bg12nd!

thanks brah! about the edge cutting thing, me think that way too... but who knows... am just a newbie here...

[Guest iron heart]

Here is the SP:

The "normal" non-selvedge denim is constructed as so:

The warp (Indigo) thread is one size 4 thread. The weft (white) is made out of 2 threads of size 5.4 twisted together.

The Selvedge denim is constructed in exactly the same way as our standard denim, but the weft (white) threads are much slubbier than in our standard denim. This gives a more uneven,"hand-made" look to the denim.

The looms for the 2 denims are: Our standard denim is made on a 57" "KAKUSHIN-SHOKKI" loom. Our selvedge denim is made on a 30inch Selvedge"RIKI-SHOKKI" loom.

I am sorry for such a newbie question,

Q: How should I wash my jeans?

A: All a matter of personal preference. The dyeing process with Ironhearts means that they do not fade too much, but to get good contrast, heavy wear and minimal washing is recommended. Always wash your jeans inside out, this will avoid getting unsatisfactory "tram-lines" in the darker areas. Go here for a picure of a pair of 634S which are about 15 months old and have had about 12 washes.

wat does "tram-lines" means? thanks in advance...

[Guest iron heart]

Tramlining is when the material creases in the washing machine and the indigo wears off on the high spots, you end up with (normally" vertical white lines running through the denim. Clear?

I can imagine it, errrrr, one more think to ask, "the indigo wears off on the high spots"

what does the high spots mean?? sorry if the question is bothering you

[Guest iron heart]

Indigo does not actually soak into the cotton, it is effectively a coating, the high spots are the exposed edges of folds. Take the letter V for example and imagine that that is a piece of folded denim going around in a washing machine, the abrasion (thus the rubbing off of the indigo) will occor most on the point of the V, and expose the white cotton beneath the indigo

Huh. Thanks for the info. Do you know if the warp threads are the same for both denims? ie. is the dying the same? If that is the case then one would expect the color of the raw products to be the same and the fading properties should be similar, only differing in the texture of the denim... that would be an interesting study on the effects of weft thread slubbiness...

^^^ That is an awesome shirt. I really want that.

I'm not calling anyone out or anything....but I was always curious how many people who buy these Iron Heart shirts and the windbreaker that says Motorcycle Specialists actually have bikes.
