IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[3lli0t]

Gonna weigh in for team true to size. I had to move on from a pair of the 634s-A (size 32) because it never stretched to my expectation. Now happy in a new pair of 634s (size 34).

I'd expect body type plays a lot into these kinds of things as well.

@3lli0t very true! For me personally i always choose a size that will fit me straight out of the bag cause my experience with ‘stretch to my size’ always results in selling that pair. I wear a belt and i think it’s also about finding the right cut for your body. Denim has to be comfortable especially as thick as IH but that’s just me. I like my things comfortable

@Heavy_blue So much this... so...much....this

Received my second pair just the other day, and wearing them now as I type this.

I love the 634 cut … just the perfect blend of roomie fit without looking baggy. Brilliant.

As a creature of habit, ih 634 for me all the way now. I have flexibility to get into half lotus and they look great. Considering ordering another pair but dont tell the wife

[guiltyparty]

Maybe my favorite fitting pair of jeans I've ever had.

[jiminstitches]

@guiltyparty I can see why, they look great on you!

[bubbapest]

Just got them back from the tailor, trying no cuffs for 2024.

Pulled the trigger on the 634s after correspondence with people from this forum and the team itself. Need thoughts on it. I believe it has taken the spot for my best fitting jeans.

@LibagBall0105 they look great to me

They look great @LibagBall0105 but most important is that you like them. 634 is just a brilliant cut. Harakis masterpiece.

@LibagBall0105 the fit is good, if it were me I would do a hot soak with lots of agitation to take care of potential shrinkage and then get them hemmed for a single cuff or no cuff.

[LibagBall0105]

@Palmer i realized I may have posted under the wrong product, these are the 21oz 634s. Do I still need to soak them?

[goosehd]

@LibagBall0105 moved to the correct thread.

[Palmer]

@LibagBall0105 it wouldn’t hurt but the 21oz denim is sanforized and one washed so you’d only get a minimal
amount of shrinkage. Maybe .25-.5 inch.

You’re probably safe just getting them hemmed to whatever length you prefer as is.

Went with my true waist of 30 same as my 634Z.

Hope they loosen up well, not sure…I didn’t want to size up on waist as I didn’t want the waist to stretch even more.. fabric feels nice, maybe they’ll be ok in a week??

Maybe I should have gone with a bit of my hip measurement instead and the 31 or 32 would have been better..

[neph93]

@cherniy for future reference, always go with garment measurements and compare to measurements of garments you own. You’ll likely find that your 634Z had bigger starting measurements than you new pair.

They will stretch in the waist 1-1.5”. The top block and thigh look tight and they won’t so much stretch as loosen up. So after that it is personal preference and levels of tolerance for discomfort.

At 50 I can’t be bothered with discomfort anymore

[cherniy]

@neph93 yeah I reckon I should have taken into account that my well fitting 3sixteen jeans have a higher rise so the measurements to the 634s aren’t a good comparison. I’ve obviously got wider hips heh

[yannis]

I agree with neph93. Hips and upper thigh look a bit tide. I think tag 31 maybe a better option but again it all depends on your tolerance level.

[cherniy]

Yes, I suppose if I were to do it again, I'd go with a 31 or 32.
