I always wanted to ask why you favor IH over all the brands you represent. Now I understand

[simonc]

if I may, the 55's would be win in 25oz simply because the cut can literally carry the weight of the jeans over the hips with ease.

I check the forums every day hoping to catch wind of production of a 25oz version of the 55

@injunjack:

could you do measurements when you get them back. I'd like to see if they differ. What's your gut feeling about this?

Here you go IJ both size 34

SR                    XHS

Thigh      336mm              338mm

Knee      240mm              248mm

Hem      230mm              236mm

So yes, just a bit looser.

as I suspected by looking at the pics. Thanks, then 25oz is  definately a no go for me.

It's been a gourd thanksgiving!

634-XHS Style!

[georgeel]

the difference is very small (2 mmm in thigh!!!) and may vary from one piece to another.
IMHO you might even find a pair of XHS tighter than a pair of 634S!

@Jsticklee: great!

Are these jeans comfortable? I can understand the fan-boy appreciation for a new model of Iron Heart jean that expands what seems to be outside the realm of possibility but, for those in possession of the 25 oz denim, are they truly wearable? Does the interest solely lie within "denim-geeks" who believe these new jeans will have wicked-rad fadez? I am sincerely interested in hearing an objective opinion–if that's possible to attain around here--as I'll be directing more attention to how I select my next pair of jeans.

[Jsticklee]

Great point. I'd swear the 36 waist/cuff  in my 634-XHS is tighter than my 634-b. I frigging love the fit. (and sleeping standing)

Edit for shoreman: These out of the box felt like two pair of 634 regular. Still sorta soft on the inside. I have a small cut on my knee from friday morning right on my rub spot.(work injury) I went all day in a hot hot sun. My cut never bled, nor was it annoyed by the fresh denim. I could not have worn my new Wranglers. The stiffness of the denim allows air to pass up the legs in nice breezes.

Thanks for the input, J. Would you say that during its break-in period, the material tends to fold in unison while walking? ( Meaning, rather than the individual wearing the jeans with the material hanging off you, does the jean tend to wear the individual?) Sorry for the questions, I'm just trying to determine the practicality of 25oz denim.

It's week one.. I still have small hip fins(getting smaller).. These have been super, super fast to develop folds. my honeycomb is in the house…. I get chills. They don't bend with ease all over but now that they have knee folds I can take them off and swing them like a robot leg at the knee.. The folds are like hinges already.. That said I am now walking normaly again. I don't notice them rubbing much more than normal on a long walk..  I think these are about as form fit as 25oz straight leg can be out of the box..

-These are all just opinons... Ask yourself... Am I tough enough? LOL ::)
