I ordered 3 pairs of 634s.
I may not be the smartest man when it comes to online shopping, but I have nice tastes in denim.

I've come to the realization that signing up for promotional emails and following IH on Insta was some of the worse decisions I've made this year. I honestly thought that after last year I was done with UHF purchases, but seeing this piece, I'm drawn back in.
I'm sure it's been mentioned here previously, but for those who are on the fence about this piece, be forewarned, it is INCREDIBLY stiff and rigid upon delivery. It was incredibly uncomfortable to wear with just a t-shirt, as the material was rough on the inside of my forearms/inside of my elbows. I tossed on a flannel or a hoody and was much more comfortable. As time wore on and a couple of washes later, the jacket became more soft and easier to wear. I still layer for comfort, as it's a bit rigid, even after a ton of wear. For reference, I own multiple IH jackets, and this was the most difficult to "conquer" per se. It may be in your best interest to keep a layer in mind when ordering/sizing.
I'll try that this evening and report back tommorow.
I did make it to the bedroom....lol
@Oaktavia, so you know, your pics/content pushed me to that terribly uncomfortable purchase.
This is the first item I've ever added my email to for the notifications, as I really want this!
One thing that attracts me to IH UHF is the bright vibrant colors and unique patterns. While I do like the red stitching, the rest of it seems so......dark (duh). I'm going to ponder this one for a bit and see if there is space in my wardrobe for a darker shirt.
Mine arrived earlier this week, and I had the copper buttons added as well. During Fall/Winter, all I wear to work is IH jeans and a UHF/other overshirt. This month I'm breaking in a new pair of SBG 634s paired with a 235-GRY from last season. When I get home at night, I change into sweats and have been wearing this new shirt over a t-shirt. One thing that has not been mentioned is the noise this thing makes when it rubs against itself. The first night we were watching TV, my wife asked "Why is that shirt so damn noisy?"....that turned into a solid ten minute conversation. Anyways, I'm going to get this broken in a bit better, as I'll be switching over into some blue denim for March and will replace the 235-GRY with this at the same time.
If I was to wear this to bed, my wife would make me sleep in another bedroom, as she would not tolerate that at ALL....lol
@Heavy_blue , I wore it with a hoody pretty much the whole time I owned it. It's been washed a couple of times (cold washed only), soaked once, etc. I've done everything I can to try to make this thing pliable, to no resolve.
I will say though, it does have some nice creases/fades already...lol
Are the 634od still available? I saw where you stated they were sold, but not sure if this is the same pair.
Thanks!
@selvedgeosaurus, I have one of those and it's great. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
