IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Hey guys, wanted to get thoughts on the fit of my 634s tag 34. Brand new out of the bag, they seem to fit great and the waist is perfect, which leads to my question. I’ve read plenty about 1” stretch on the 21 oz and worried they might stretch out too much. What do you think of the fit? Adam said these were the “biggest” tag 34 waist measuring 34.5 (I was thinking I needed closer to 35.5 after stretch so we went with this pair).
It’s my first IH pair. Should I Size down to allow for some stretch, send them back for a “smaller” 34, or just rock them?
Thanks in advance!

I dont think 634S can get any better than this. If you wanted a slimmer cut, then you should look for a different cut rather than sizing this down.
From my experience it stretches out a lot only if its too tight. When I purchased mine, waist was 34 which stretched close to 35.5 after 2 months use, but now I lost weight and wear a belt so after repeated washes it is now 34.5. It just molds to your requirements and looks perfect to start with.

How much will these stretch in the waist? Would it be possible for me to stretch a half inch or so out of the rise? Like if i pull on it while wet or something?
-
Yeah that's what i meant, if i pulled on it while it was wet kind of thing?
-
I was thinking of trying to gain 1/2 to 1 inch. Maybe i better go with a different cut then.

Do you have a pair of these ? If do what size and what does the front rise measure? Just trying to figure out how accurate the chart is.

One inch wouldn’t happen anyway. The amount stretch and shrinkage in a fabric is proportional to the length of the fabric. So if one inch is obtainable on a 30” waistband then…. um yeah, maths [emoji28]
I have a couple of iterations of 634’s but not these.
The IHUK crew sample a couple or three pairs of every size of everything they get in and use the average for the charts. They are very precise in their measurements so the charts are reliable.
These being made by humans in small batches there is always some variation though. We’re not talking much. I picked up a pair of 888-OD last week and asked the crew to check the waist on all pairs in my size. Of the four or five pairs they measured for me, there was less than half an inch variation each way. I doubt you’d find a pair with an extra inch in the rise but you could ask.
Are you taking your measurements “the IH way”?
