@Heavy_blue Thank you! The 888 I find very roomy and comfortable in the top block. Are you saying the 634 fits like the 888 through the hips but with a lower rise?

I feel like this is pretty accurate but I will say that difference in rise changes the feel quite a bit. Overall the top block feels a little smaller than the 888, I’d say overall sort of the middle zone btw that and the 666.

Thank you! Sounds like it could be a winner. The issue I have with the 666 is in the hips and thighs as it feels like I’m being squeezed to death, even when the waist is a little big. But the rise is nice and the knee/hem is perfect at my size (33 or 34 depending on model).
888 is extremely comfortable in the hips/thigh but I’m not a fan of how high the rise is, especially when tucking in a shirt. Also if I do a bit of walking the jeans inevitably slide down causing the crotch to ride pretty low.
777 the rise is so low half my ass hangs out when sitting. Definitely not enough back rise for my rather bulbous backside.
555 has a great top block and is comfy in the hips and thighs, but the taper to the knee is too sharp for my body type. Makes me look like a carrot. If I had longer legs though this cut would be a winner.
I have not tried the 634 or any of the other fits, but I’m determined to find my ideal IH fit in the XHS, even if I go broke in the process

@nvrp813 sounds like a 633 would be a good fit for you.. unfortunately that’s a journey to find one of those. Maybe even the 1955 cut. They will re-run somewhere in the future i guess

A few days ago I opened up a package containing my first pair of 25 oz denim. It was definitely a little intimidating as I unfolded them, slipped them on and tried to button up. Now a few days in they feel so good. I look forward to putting them on everyday and am really enjoying the beginning of this journey.
I enjoyed seeing all the pictures of fades on here and looking forward to these starting to show a patina.

I just had the same pleasant experience with my 666 in 25oz.
It kind of accelerated - from laying my hands on 25oz at IH Germany last year and deciding I was too faint hearted, up to today where I really don't want to get out of my jeans tonight!

@tody Such a pleasant surprise!!

Hah right on man...I ended up selling that pair because they were just too big for me. Thought about trying again with 634 but went with 888 and 666 and think I dig those cuts better.

[denim-dawg]

@Oaktavia They looked hardcore on you, bru. And 888 seems positively sick, and 666 are the devils cut, right? Nice. The IH-634 black was my first pair. Bought in Tokyo. And it’s awesome to find the cuts that fit. 25oz seems to be a beast of its own. I’ve got my first pair on it’s way, thanks to the amazing @George-Homme, in a size bigger, so hopefully it’ll be a nice ride.

Enjoy!!

@BunBunBunneh the marble effect will go away , personally I wash mine in cold water wool lite dark and throw a cup of vinegar in with the rinse

@Oaktavia personally I own two pair of 666 and don’t wear them because they are to tight in the legs , 634 , 888 is definitely the cuts for me , but 634 you can’t go wrong with , the 250z denim will definitely mold to you after awhile , a few soaks and washes youll see what I’m talking about , I’d try the 634 again if I were you , I know some people soak them first but they will shrink to approx measurements, personally I buy a pair my size +/- and wear the hell out them for a few months ( I’m a sheetmetal mechanic supervisor so I work in construction) and they are definitely my favorite jeans above all else

@Oaktavia I’d try the 634 again if I were you

Next time I need/want a new pair I would like to try out 634 again...until then I am working on my 888XHSmb which need lots of work and I have a pair of 888XHSib incoming which have a whole life ahead of them as well...so likely will be years until 634 day. Thanks for the info about yours though man, I appreciate the conversation.

Question about sizing. How much 25 oz fabric could stretch? Eg., if I choose size 34 which has a waist of 87,4 cm, after soaking will be 85-85,5cm. How much will stretch with wear? Will go back to 87,4 or more? My ideal waist size is 89cm....

[Daniel San]

@boutsk
waist will stretch back to pre soak , maybe a little more .
So I would go for a size 35 . When ordering from Gosport they sure will help you finding the perfect pair. Maybe they have a 35 that runs a little smaller at waist

Getting more blue and softer after every wash. The fades that start to show looks amazing. Washed often just like my XHSBB.

Finally have a pair of 634 in the proper size. I fecking love this pair! If you scroll through this thread you will see a pair I tried last year that were just too big. Plus they were unhemmed and I think 634 looks better hemmed. This is how they should fit. Turns out even though I'm 6'3" I have tiny legs as my inseam is 30". After a hot soak and a cuff, they measure as 27"...way shorter than I thought. I guess I'm mostly torso. I opted for a turquoise hem because of course I did!

Very nice fit. At this point the 634 is the only IH cut I will wear anymore.
