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

@501/IH:
Thought it's high time to share my "three generations" of IH 634 S here.
All have been forum acquisitions, I'm the 2nd hand owner of the newest ones on the left, and the 3rd (or even further…) owner of the used and hard-used ones, both purchased from Nem here.
All are a W 30. The differences never cease to amaze me, all fit differently, the "mid-fekked" ones (having gotten them off Nem, there's just no other terms) the tightest, the hard-fekked ones the least tight. The new ones have been, I was told, quickly soaked once, but never been washed. First crotch damage already develops, I am, sadly, really good at producing small ripping there, but never larger holes where I would quite like them (and leave them unrepaired...)
The hard fekked ones are worn without a cuff, they must have gotten a hemming job, but done so well that I can't really make it out. I still gleam at the compliment Giles made me here after he saw me wearing them at our first meeting, some months ago.tidy collection of an IH fave,,everyone has to own a pair

LOL - that was my first thought of referring to them, triplets. But then I figured the "three generations" describe it a little more aptly after all…

Pre marriage and kids, blue and green were on my agenda very regularly…....mainly green.

My friend Matt in some OG 634S (with red tab). He will soon be getting some more pants and a few flannels. I let him try them on and he instantly said "How much?". Thanks L!!!!!
Glad that worked out for him. And I cannot wait to see evo shots of them. Hopefully in person. Cheers

A hem sounds good. If you get rid of a couple of inches, you can cuff or stack, whichever you prefer. Right now, they're too long to do anything but double cuff.

These have been my first IH purchase at VMC some years (think some 2-3) ago. I washed them cold couple of times, lost count on how much I wear them, unfortunately not that often they would deserve (sometimes they have waited for weeks to be worn :(), I have to change that but its difficult with all the beauties I have in my closet :'(. This jeans is iconic and started my love and appreciation for IH and I am happy they have a lot of life left in them

So I'm sad. I was able to give my pair a solid 1 month, maybe 1.5 months of wear back in the spring after I got it. We had some good times. Then, summer hits and it was way too hot to wear them. Pop em on today and realize it is a lot tighter in the thighs (almost "painted on"). I've been putting on muscle and am afraid they aren't going to fit soon (good problem). Everything fits perfect at the moment except for thigh area being tight now. So, I need advice from experienced 634s wearers. Will they stretch more/enough? Sell em and get a bigger size (they are 31). If so, jump up to a 32 or all the way to 33? I'll try to get some fit pics up tomorrow so there's a visual reference with this.
