IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[cb09]

These are my first pair of denim over 17 ounces and it sure is an adjustment! After soak and wash the waist BARELY fit and I can only get the top button through. However, the waist seems to be stretching back out already after just a day. These are also my first IH straight fit and I'm really digging them. I usually go with a tapered fit, decided to try something new. I can see these being incredibly comfortable once broken in. It's nice to have a little more room in the thigh and knee area.

@68degreesorless really good fit!!

@goosehd thanks man appreciate your advice on sizing and washing...needle nose pliers have been clutch for the button holes too...it's funny that people get so worked up over UHR sizing - it's easier to size than sanforized/one-washed b/c you just need a perfect fit out of the bag and everything else will take care of itself!

If it makes you feel any better, mine were supposed to deliver this past Friday and then yesterday and again the day, I’m not holding my breath. What’s going on in Kentucky?

These feel great! They were nice and snug at the waist after a hot soak, warm gentle wash and a hang dry. Wore them without a belt for a day and they molded perfectly. These are easily my best fitting pair of denim and I only see them getting better.

@rasta look good and great job!

Texture-wise, post-wash, these are still fairly smooth (like most IH denim), but there is an undercurrent that is almost pebbly. A little more texture than you might expect. Maybe just that the fibers are so shocked after their first dance with H2O. The hairiness is well documented and not overstated in the literature. Shine a flashlight on it if you want to feel like denim Chewbacca. There’s some interesting use of orange and yellow constructional threads that feels unique in the portfolio. I’m a little nervous about future leg twist but telling myself to embrace wabi sabi.
