IH-633S - Self Edge x Iron Heart 21oz Selvedge Straight Tapered
-
The 21oz denim may take a bit to start showing its potential, but it never disappoints.

Nice @Fadez

Please disregard the potato quality cell phone pic.
But I haven't worn these jeans in a long time and have been wearing them a lot lately. Forgot how nice they were and how they pretty much go with any footwear. Such a good fit.

Highly recommend 633XHS for the next pair

I got these at SE NYC on May 15, 2021. My 1st pair of IH jeans. Had them hemmed there and started wearing them in June. They are unwashed and I have ~25 wears on them (around the house or neighborhood walks). I absolutely love them - best jeans I've ever owned. For reference, I am 6'2 and 215 lbs wearing size 36 hemmed to 35. With the benefit of hindsight, a size 35 hemmed 33-34 would fit better. I will hot soak to try for some shrink soon.
As others have said, there's very little break-in on these. They were extremely comfortable after a couple of wears. Breathable from the start. Heavy and tough but with a familiar, blanket-like softness. They are not fast fading but I like the character they are beginning to show. They are versatile for shoe-paring - look good with chucks, engineers, oxfords, loafers, and sometimes slippers
Brief comparison…I've since also picked up 888 25oz indigo/black in size 36 and 777 14 oz mad black in size 36. The 633 are currently my favorite of the 3. I look forward to breaking in the 25 oz this fall/winter but they are still too rough to be "comfortable" right now. The 777 are a little too tight for my liking - I look forward to them relaxing a bit too. For now, the 633 are the good life

great fit @68degreesorless - the 633 is def one of my favorites cuts as well!

Does anybody have any input on this cuff size (i.e. too large)? This is my first pair of unhemmed IH jeans in 36" inseam, so by far the largest cuff in jeans I own. I'll be doing my first wash in a few months and am thinking of getting these hemmed once all remaining shrinkage is out of them. Just debating if it's even worth it. The cuff has kind of grown on me, but when I started wearing them, I thought it looked stupid high/thick for me. probably overthinking it anyways haha

Does anyone know if there is a restock coming? These are sold out in 34, and I would really like to get my hands on a pair.
@TeflonDon when I picked up my pair in the summer Self Edge seemed to have just restocked these. (Size 33) I'd assume they only get a full run of these once a year, but I could be wrong. I had to wait a few months to try on both the 34's (returning them) and finally landing on the 33's this past spring/summer

First of there isn’t any shrinkage to be had with the 21oz, so no first wash needed.
Secondly there is no right cuff size other than the one that makes you happy. Anyone else’s opinion has equal to, or less value than your own. For what it’s worth. They look great to me.
Congratulations on a great pair of jeans.

633s 14bb 14oz

Hello! New to the forum and hoping that it's okay to ask a question about denim stretching (I can't seem to find a way to search within threads..)
I recently bought a pair of the 633S-21oz and they are just right in the waist (not too tight), but I'm concerned that the thigh doesn't have enough room. In particular, I'm barely able to grab excess fabric at the mid-thigh area (halfway between the bottom of my pelvis and my knees). This area doesn't feel constricting (ie. I can sit or squat down reasonably comfortably; I'm guessing this is because of the 21oz denim's loose weave?) but I'm worried that if I gain any extra weight, it'll become too tight. Does this area stretch at all?
On a side note, does anyone know how the 14oz denim stretches in the thigh compared to the 21oz?

I can tell you the main reason I’ve let go of various pairs of IH jeans is the thighs being too tight as you’re described… barely or no slack that you can pinch when sitting. Sometimes they look really good standing but you sit and then they are skin tight in the thighs. This doesn’t get any better (stretch out) with wear in my experience.
