IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans
-
I just scored a pair of this in an 888. The comparisons to the XHS in terms of initial vibe and difficulty in buttoning up right out of the bag are spot on. Feels like a lighter XHS to me.
How does the 19L feel after breaking in? I’m assuming much softer etc. The fade pics look great.

I have a pair in 888 that I've been wearing to work for the past 6 months or so. They may have softened slightly, but they are still very stiff. They've definitely molded to me, so they are much more comfortable now. For a while, the chainstitch inside the waistband was rough on my hip area. That has gotten much better. That said, I don't anticipate these ever reaching denim sweat pants level. Not even close.

Oof, ok. I’ll prepare myself haha
-
My pair is a year old, my main pair with probably ~180 wear days and ~4 washes
I find em really comfortable, they keep a relatively hard face. I’d describe them as pliable rather than soft. I’m not a sucker for discomfort with my denim - I wouldn’t want to wear a pair that don’t feel comfy. These feel rad.
-
Awesome, thanks for the info.
literally just got them yesterday, cold washed, and they are hanging dry now.
I’ll have to bust out the needle nose pliers just to button them up. I’ll wear them after work do some squats and stuff.
They do have a little extra material below the waistband near the crotch, but I know they will relax. And the front rise is ever so slightly lower than my other 888 jeans, but not dramatically.
beautiful.

They will be i bit more stubborn to relax in the begging but once they do they will be comfortable. They will always be stiffer than any 25oz or 21oz but not uncomfortable. The more you wear them the better they become and the fades are pretty unique. You made a great choice.

Welcome to the 19L. I have a sneaky suspicion that in about 90 days they will become your favorite fabric. Strap on for the ride. Is definitely worth ot.

Boom. So psyched.
-
Is the 666-19L not far behind?
-
@bluemantra haven't had word on the others yet, but the 666 was predicted for next up so won't be too long!
-
I know it’s probably mentioned somewhere back in the thread, but could someone who’s owned this denim tell me how much stretch you got out of the waist? I imagine some, but a bit less than something like the 21oz?
-
@popvulture I got the same amount as any other right hand twill, 21oz / 14oz / 17oz.
They did tighten up a lot more in a wash after some wear which made post wash break in a struggle again after the initial but I would say approximately 1" stretch as all our sanforised and one-washed denim.
