      First I wanted a Samurai Jeans, but they do have too many cuts and do shrink and blabla
      Iron Heart is the better choice, my 634S fits perfect!!! DC4 have some 32 sizes left in their onlineshop, that´s my size. Hopefully they have one when I am in Berlin the next time in November!
      Thanks man 🙂

      iH is miles ahead (in my opinion) of Samurai, which is still very nice. The IH 25oz line is so much heavier than all the other brands' 24oz models (Samurai and PBJ, which I also have) it's like day and night in terms of feel. IH 25 fabric feels like an armor even after a year of almost daily wear.

      In a word, IH rulezzzz

          mmh…

          I'm 29 on 634s (but I can do 28)
          I'm 28 on 634s-B

          If I had the crazy idea to buy myself a pair of 634 XHS (this is one thing that came to my mind suddenly tonight) ... which size should I choose?

            I'm 34 in all IH denim, including 21 and 25 oz 634's and 634sb's, if that helps 😉

              Giorgio, you could probably pull off 28 if you are content with a few weeks of pain.

                Question:
                My 634S (size 32/34) has a 36" inseam, and there are some roll-up´s, so I wear a 30" inseam.

                The XHS has a 37" inseam, so they are even longer than my 634S. But I dont want to many roll-up´s because 25ounces are really heavy. I wanna hem my inseam, but I dont know how much… Maybe a 33"???

                      New to the forum and to Iron Heart generally - I have a quick question on fit with these jeans:

                      I'm a weightlifter/powerlifter and often have trouble finding pants that will fit.  I generally have to purchase size 40+ waist pants and have the waist taken in to a 34-36 to get pants that fit my legs.

                      I've measured a pair of pants of mine that fit well and the thigh sits at just a hair over 14 inches.  I've noted that the thigh measure on the 36's in the 634's is 13.8".  I've also read the posts that most people get a little stretch out of the denim with wear in the waist.  Does anyone have experience with stretch in the thigh as well?

                      I'm in this weird position where I would actually like to shrink the waist by about an inch or so and get no stretch, but would love an extra inch in the thigh.

                      Any suggestions with this?

                        Stretch in the thigh is pretty normal. Getting 0.2" in stretch should be no issue

                        As far as the waist stretching, the waist will only stretch as far as the pressure you apply to it. So if you're wearing a size 36 and you're cramming a 37" waist into it, you're going to wind up with a waist of 37" eventually. The fix for this is to wear a thick belt to avoid stretch

                        One thing to bear in mind: these jeans are VERY stubborn. I have quite a few pairs of IH denim, and these are the most resistant to stretch. This is both a good and bad thing for you it seems…

                        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                          Time to get some life in this thread. 6 months old. Worn maybe around 4. One Dr. Bronner - handwash.
                          I call the comb areas heaven and hell. The right side stayed in place after wash a hundred percent. The left side maybe fifty 🙂

                          The leather patch is a thirsty mofo. Oiled it three times after the wash and still looks dry.

                          why so serious?

                            Patch doesn't look too dry. What do you use to oil it?  I just put olive oil on my DC4001 patch and it held up fine even after a hot machine wash/hang dry

                                I've read up the entire blog for both the 634S and the 634-XHS but still can't make up my mind which one to buy. I've never bought any IH product so far (never touched and felt the 634S or the 634-XHS), so this will be my first step into the IH world. The heaviest denim I own is 15.7Oz, so I've never worn anything as heavy as IH.

                                As much as I love the challenge of wearing out a 25Oz, I am not sure whether it'll worth putting up with such a heavy fabric or not. Your thoughts?

                                I live in Northern California, where summers are pretty mild - occasionally a few hot days. Is the 25Oz as breathable and does it mould to your skin? (Several IH forum members talk about how they sleep in their 634S since they are so comfortable even though they are 21Oz).

                                One point of reference I can give you - I did get a chance to visit Self Edge in SFO and got to try out their collaboration with Leather Soul (the 23 Oz fabric) in size 33 (the size for this model is all messed up. I generally wear a size 34 in most denim brands) and they felt really heavy.

                                Thanks for your help.

                                  Go with the 634 21oz. The denim is thick, but comfortable and extremely breathable, and can be worn even on warm days. The 25oz denim is hardcore, not for hot days, and probably would not be as enjoyable first IH denim experience as the 21oz in my opinion.

                                    Same. I would say go with the 634S.

                                    I live in Singapore and the 634S is the most comfortable heavy weight jeans I've ever worn.

                                      I don't have a 634s either, but I can say that my 634xhs tts is very comfy, too.  And since we have october already, 25 oz won't be too warm for the next eight months, furthermore it will keep the cold wind from your skin…

                                      why so serious?

                                        I have both. The 634s is the most versatile

                                        That being said, the 634s will always be around, not sure about the xhs

                                          you might want to think about 634SRs and the 634s-raw. giles still has some SRs available from japan and selfedge has a few RAWs still. i know i just made your decision a lot more difficult hahaha

                                            Get 634S.

                                            Then decide if you want looser fit, and if you do, check out those extinct 634SR/ RAW's in 21/23oz. Or XHS in 25oz.
