IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans
-
The 19L 1,000,000 percent. NGL they were rough and miserable for me to wear the first couple months. But now they are super soft and have that ultra-plush and luxurious IH suedey softness I love so much. The 16 oz slub is a cool fabric for sure, but I love denim that's heavy and rigid and the 19L definitely fits the bill. @GardenState

Mike that is the answer I was looking for a 100 percent. I have some other brands for slubbiness. I swung and missed with a pair of Strike Gold LHT (fit was not ideal for me). Wife says I should get a wider cut than my 555s so thinking this denim. Now just can't figure out which cut. I also love that crunchy rigid feeling at the beginning so these seem perfect. Do they breathe more than the xhs? @Filthy

The 634 is a very flattering cut it looks great whether sized right up/down. I love it a lot. My advice is to get some fit pics of the different cuts and let your wife decide what one though. I'd go 634 or 777 if it were me.
do they breath more than XHS?
They are 6 oz lighter, seem more rigid than XHS, but yes breath more than XHS. @GardenState
-
I like the 633 but was leaning more toward the 777.

@Filthy These are going to see a ton of wear this winter and hope that by early next year I will have some fades that I can share with on here.
Im already contemplating picking up a pair of 21 lefty's down the road.

This is going to be a cross- post. My FG19L and my favorite jacket ever and favorite UHF ever.

@Filthy Love the character that this denim presents. You're in direct sunlight but it looks like there are a lot of places where bright blue is already poking through. Are these as dark as they say when brand new? If so then that is some killer contrast developing. Also, love the shoes. Wesco Romeo?

@GardenState custom Zerrows Side-gore in blue suede
@SKT thank you!
@Oaktavia thank you! -
@GardenState just re-read your question. I am apparently only semi-litterate or ADD or something.
There's parts that are as dark as when they are new and there's quite a bit of fading going on. Especially from my lap to my knees and all the high points on the combs…

@Filthy
All good, figured I was just asking too many questions. I plan to buy these just cannot figure out the cut I really want. Part of me wants to wait until I am in England in a few weeks to visit Rivet and Hide or something. Thanks! They look spectacular -
@GardenState if it's something Iron Heart you really can't go wrong! It's really all great no matter what you get. I do think that you would really like this denim though. It's really great. I'm so pleased with mine.

@Filthy
Well see I was an adventurer until I took an arrow to the knee… so I need extra knee room. -
That's from a Capcom game called Dragons Dogma. One of my all-time favorite adventure games. I get the Skyrim reference though. I played that one about 1000 hours. I'm about 600 hours into Cyberpunk now. Those games like that are so addictive to me. Open world adventure games.
Anyway every time you buy something that guy says that. He says it like hundreds of times.
-
Yeah I had nothing from that game. I tried out Cyberpunk but I have difficulty finding time to play games these days. Wishing I had more time. I honestly get enough time to play like 15 minutes of Call of Duty or something similar (Death Loop right now).

@GardenState I took some more and improved pictures of the wonderful 19L to maybe sway you to the IH Left. It's a figurative Blue Wave of electric blues
It's amazing what a little sunshine can do to bring out the depth of color of the denim. These are as beautiful as it gets.(I know we're not supposed to talk politics… But I'm just teasing). This is why I'm always calling them Leftist jeans. Forum Gratitude Lefties
I think it's sad how polarizing politics are these days. I tend to not like either the right or left. I feel like we're all being manipulated and duped by social media and TV. We're all good people and need to put aside are differences and give tolerance and Peace a chance. I don't know what the answer is. But I try to love everyone from both the Right and the Left. I am withholding my true personal beliefs because we aren't supposed to talk about it. We don't want to make anyone not feel welcome and included here. This is a more of an ecumenical broad spectrum statement for those who hate their fellow people because of their political beliefs. I think you can probably guess what my real affiliation would be. Not that I agree completely but it is the lesser of two evils.
Anyway:
FYI I have a pair of old long Johns that I stuffed with old tee shirts to make a pair of fake legs. I wanted to get a male blow up doll to put the jeans on (because it would be hilarious) but those blow up dolls are only like 3:4 scale and would be too short. You can't really see how beautiful they are until you fill up the volumes so the light can cast shadows and create highlights. They look completely different laid flat.
I love how there's indigo streaking all over the grey reverse of the fabric and also staining the yellow thread. These jeans are so awesome. I love them.

Thanks so much @thomas01

@Filthy Sorry for the late response; I actually teach a college course in Florida and just got back to work today. Putting my house up for sale this summer cannot wait to get out of Florida. First of all, excellent pair of jeans. I really am super pumped about these after the disappointment with the Strike Golds (really weird cut). But sheesh they are gorgeous and just really indecisive about getting a more mature cut versus a super slim again. Before covid/the pandemic I was a minimalist and I'm trying to get back to that now - my denim habit kind of spiraled out of control during the covid years.
I am 100 percent with you Mike if I'm grasping what you're putting down between the shades of blue. Wise words indeed.
Now just to thin out my closet some.
Oh and I nearly spat my beer out when I read the blow up doll bit.
