IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans
-
I'll say! Damn those are some lovely shades of blue :o
-
Electric blue all over @Filthy looks nice!
-
So these breathe better than the xhs but do they breathe better than the 21oz?
I think I remember reading that the 19oz indigo/black did not breathe better than the 21oz because it was denser.
-
@Giles Thank you, Giles! I think I'm going to try them in the 888. But I'll wait until next week when I'm in London.
-
I am not even sure that they breathe better than the 25oz. They certainly don't feel lighter that the 21oz although they should be. Maybe tighter weave? Not sure. They actually stay stiffer than anything else I tried and i like that. Its a very beautiful fabric.

@Filthy:
I'm going to give my 634-19L a rest for a couple months until I get my 25XHSib similarly broken it… The 19L are broken in perfectly just the way I love them. So I want to go easy on them now. I washed them again yesterday so they are extra stiff.
@GardenState these are 19 oz but they are very substantial and feel deceptively heavy and stiff. They don't breathe at all.
-
@Filthy That's what I was afraid of. I love the looks of the 21oz denim the weave looks very large and I guess loose because of that. These look like they have a much smoother face. Once we move much further north I'll be able to really wear the heavy heavyweights.

Inspired by Mike’s posts about these jeans I decided to grab a pair. I’m blown away, the fabric is so intense and rigid, and the colour so deep and inky.
I’ll upload some pics when it’s daylight, but I think I’m a 634 convert. I’ve been on the fence about trying them for some time - dunno why but I always thought they wouldn’t shit my shape, but actually I think they might be the best IH cut I’ve tried so far. Really very happy to own a pair of these!

@jerkules Im with you on this too--the 666S 21s were my first venture, followed by the 888 14ib.
I was really curious about the left hand denim so tried them with the 634 cut and ...like you..I think I've found my jam.
Love the way they feel..looser in the thigh..more freedom throughout.
im having a blast with them at the moment --my favorite cut now -
Quick fit pics. Need to sort out how to cuff em, but you get the idea. They’re a tag 34. Very hard to button, but this is more fabric rigidity than being too small. Once I got them done up they felt tight but not uncomfortably so. One hour later they‘ve already relaxed some.
Undecided on how to cuff with sneakers:
@SKT the fabric is bananas, give them a try if you can!
@dinobarnesberlin I’ve tried 555, 777 and 888 with 888 becoming my “go-to”. Never tried the 666 but that’s because on paper the thigh looks too small for me. I think I might fully be a 634 guy from now on though.
-
@jerkules I’m thinking along those lines as well.
I’m just super happy to have found my cut.
I knew the 555s were too slim for me right from the dimensions.
The 777s too.
I’m going to give these 634 19leftys some hard wear and tear for a year. -
@dinobarnesberlin amazing fabric isn't it?! Wear them in good health, I look forward to seeing yoursin a year!
-
@jerkules it really is a great fabric.Filthy kept saying how great they were and I finally caved in .
The electric blues are already kicking in and the progress comes pretty quick.
I’ll get around to posting soon

@jerkules I have to resist to urge to buy a pair of these in 666 every single day to ensure my SBGs get the wear they deserve before I move on to a new project! I consider it an exercise in self-control and delayed gratification...

self-control and delayed gratification...
Sorry I don't understand...
Seriously though, it's good to do this if you have the control. I kinda exercise a one-in, one-out policy for shirts as I have "enough". For trousers I generally own one indigo, one black, one chino and one cargo at any given time. If there's something I really want to try, I shift something else first. I sold my slubs to grab these.
-
@jerkules Feel like you've gotten the normal amount of stretch on these? Saw your recent WDYWT pics and they look great.
I got my usual size 36 on sale and I can't decide if they're a bit too snug or I'm just not used to the rigidity! They fully button, but I'm on day 3 and the waist isn't terribly comfortable- it's been a while since I really felt like I needed to break in a pair of jeans.
-
@october-rust thanks, I’m really pleased with this pair!
i’m pretty sure I got the reported 1 inch stretch, but haven’t checked by measuring yet. They we’re definitely hard going for a few days and the rigidity definitely gave them a more snug feeling. I grabbed a tag 34 which came with a 33.5 inch waist, which is definitely on the tighter side for me. They are very comfortable now, but have retained their rigidity.
I’m away from home right now, but when I return I’ll measure and report back the stretch I achieved.
