It bums me out that I'm just too damned big for so much cool stuff.  I'm an American XL, so I'm an Iron Heart XXXL.  I wear a 7 5/8 or a 7 3/4 hat size, so I'm shit out of luck when it comes to Papa Nui's stuff.

It's a shame.  I really like this one.

@Broark is a great member of the IH community.  SELL HIM YR STUFF

Thanks for that resource.  That's exactly what I'm looking for.

I've been wearing my 634S for about eighteen months now.  It's a great jean for me - I've got a pretty substantial rear and thick legs.  Think "hockey player."  The slim denim thing doesn't work for me at all.

I'd like to grab a US-made pair of LVC jeans before they're impossible to find.  Does anyone have any recommendations as to which of their fits would suit me best?  I know the 1947 501 is sorta their "gold standard," but I'm guessing the 1955 might be closer to what I'm looking for.

FYI, I wear a 34 inch waist in the 634S.  If you recommend grabbing a slimmer cut in a 36 inch waist, let me know.

Thanks, y'all.  Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

Glad to hear they arrived safe and sound, @motojobobo!

If anyone has a XXXL they'd like to get rid of, get at me.

HUGE thanks to both @Knightimer and @DrBabyhorse for being so patient with me!  I made a mistake in shipping out some stuff, but they both worked with me like total gentlemen.

They're the cream of the crop.

Really like the waffle fabric.

Glad to have the chance to grab another short sleeve USN-style shirt, too.

Ordered both a XXL and a XXXL to make damn sure that I find the right fit.

$35 is a fair price to pay for peace of mind.

@Cfk87 is a solid dude.  Prompt payment, good communication and an all-around nice guy.

Sell him something!

Outstanding.  A 34 is what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Hoping some of these come back in soon.  I want some winter jeans.

You and me both, friendo.  I haven't been this excited for an IH item in quite some time.

Thanks to @Clint_D for prompt payment on a shirt that I could simply drop off at his house.  Easy!

Yeah, I get that that's the paraffin wax's job - but I've seen some DIRTY white jeans on here.

I'd almost just rather wash them more regularly.  Either way, I'll likely be ordering a pair shortly.

Thinking of picking up some 634S-WHs to serve as a pair of ahem

I know lots of folks on here are a fan of the "dirty white" look, but I'm not.  I'm looking for a "clean surfer" look, not a "dirty mechanic" look.  Anybody know how to go about removing the paraffin wax so as to keep things nice and white?  I know I'm supposed to avoid washes like the plague - and I do with my trusty indigo 634S pair - but I think these will need a bit of TLC.

Also, I see the measurements for these are a wee bit tighter than the usual 634S.  Does stretch account for a difference?  I'm a 34 in the normal 634S, and they fit PERFECTLY.  I just wanna make sure these will treat me the same.

Grabbed one in green and one in yellow.  Very excited to break 'em in.

@Buzzaround:

Just piping in to say that the blue/cream buffalo check is pretty much the pattern of my dreams.

Beautiful stuff, Giles.

Just doubling down.  Blue/cream 4 lyfe.

@TrickHell:

Boston will also love this.

Hell yes.
