@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 you look like Brando, dude

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.

[Jason76]

@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.

[Oaktavia]

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.

[Oaktavia]

@Palmer thanks heck yeah. I think I might agree with you on the 634. Still loving 888 too though.

[ARNC]

@Oaktavia I liked your old pair but these look good too. If you’re happier, I guess it’s a result!

[endo]

excellent look and fit @Oaktavia

[the246guy]

@Palmer Same conclusion here after having tried the other cuts, I have finally settled on the 634 cut. I might add either the XHS or the UHR in this cut later on. For now, I'm enjoying my 634 21oz fabric.

[october rust]

Good shit @Oaktavia ! Ironically I started a pair of these today too. Been wearing 888-XHS and also realized that the 634 is just the perfect cut for me.

[Luijim78]

@Oaktavia They look great on you my friend, you absolutely don't have short legs, they simply have a very high waist (same problem I have with 555s, they always seem too long compared to other cuts even though they are the same length). Congratulations I haven't seen a cut of Ih yet that looks bad on you

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 I was worried the inseam shrank too much, but then I compared them to my unhemmed, turn-up cuffs and they were the same length. I like wearing mine high anyway, and they look nice with my Mr. Lous today. I need to take photos.

My pair of IH 634 21oz have become my favorite pair of jeans. The 25oz 634 intrigues me though. What are the main differences between the two? I would anticipate more heft and stiffness out of the box, but wondering more how they will wear over time. Should I order the same size in the 25oz as my 21oz? Thanks.

[yannis]

I would size them exactly the same. The 25oz its obviously heavier and sftiffer to begin with. There is a brake in period but eventually with wear they become very soft and pliable. It will be a great addition to your closet. Its a very nice fabric and i think you will enjoy it. Also its different enough so they will feel like a different pair of jeans from your 21oz.

Just 5 days and signs of shedding indigo.
