I tried the 634 on a whim after finding 888s weren't really to my liking and fell in love. I picked these up at Self Edge a month ago and have been wearing them daily. Just did my first wash yesterday after they started smelling a bit funky and I'm super happy with how they're softening up and how the seat is fading.
Also so impressive how much give this denim has. These were literally painted on when I first got them and now I can comfortably pinch an inch of fabric along most of the leg.
Got my second pair of these the other day. Sized up to a 34 after the 33s I ordered in February of this year ended up being slightly too small for my liking.
The fit is spot on- reminds me of a 21oz version of Wrangler's 13mwz (and the measurements bear it out to an extent) and they stack so nicely over tall boots. On the one hand I'm not looking forward to wearing these through Texas summers. On the other it should help the fades come through that much faster
Pics for reference - 33 on the left, 34 on the right. The differences are small visually, but very noticable in the mobility department, and that's with <24hr of wear on the 34s compared to 2 weeks on the 33s
Makes sense. Hopefully these stay in stock long enough for some back and forth over sizing!
I wear a 33 in the 634S-B but have a narrow waist (31" on an empty stomach). Am I crazy to think I may be able to go down to a 31 in these?
For a bit of context my 634 have stretched to a comfortable 12 6/8" in the thigh and the waist (measured flat, not the IH way) is around 16.4", but it also sits just above my hips, several inches below my navel and I wear a belt to keep it from sliding too low. Meanwhile I own an 888 in a size 33 that, pulled up properly, has 3-4" of room in the waist, so that I can't actually wear it high and it sits at around the same spot on my body as the 634. I can't size down on the 888 because the lower thigh would be way too tight, but given that these don't taper till after the knee I may be ok?

Appreciate the advice. I'll probably reach out to the crew when I order these to see if I can't get something closer to 13" than the listed 12.7" (fingers crossed they don't disappear immediately). Unfortunately I can't do much extra room in the waist because I usually wear my shirts tucked, so too much room there looks sloppy and makes the crotch bunch awkwardly.
Any ideas how much stretch this fabric has compared to the flagship 21oz denim? The tag 33 looks perfect everywhere but the thighs where I could use an extra half inch.
