IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
The 634 is my fave IH cut but personally I’ve had more trouble nailing the fit with it than others. I’d say it’s definitely a bit roomier than the 666 in the top block, but surprisingly not as much as you’d think. 888 is more forgiving up there but alas there’s the problem you mentioned — I’d really like that cut with a wider leg opening too. Cest la vie I guess.
EDIT: I looked back and realized I misread. You were referring to the taper of the 555. 888 could be worth a look for you, for sure. If you’ve got a butt, they’ve got room.
The good news is that IH has a great return policy and they’re awesome about looking for a pair with specific measurements if you’re wanting something a little fine tuned against the chart measurements. They’re my favorite place to order jeans for this reason. Also make sure you measure the waist the IH way, as that messed me up a couple times early on.
My advice for XHS is that it fits the way you like it before washing. They shrink a little but come back up after some wear and fit comfortably. Biggest suggestion on sizing would be if they fit uncomfortably small pre-wash, use that return policy for a size up.

@Heavy_blue Thank you! The 888 I find very roomy and comfortable in the top block. Are you saying the 634 fits like the 888 through the hips but with a lower rise?
I feel like this is pretty accurate but I will say that difference in rise changes the feel quite a bit. Overall the top block feels a little smaller than the 888, I’d say overall sort of the middle zone btw that and the 666.

Thank you! Sounds like it could be a winner. The issue I have with the 666 is in the hips and thighs as it feels like I’m being squeezed to death, even when the waist is a little big. But the rise is nice and the knee/hem is perfect at my size (33 or 34 depending on model).
888 is extremely comfortable in the hips/thigh but I’m not a fan of how high the rise is, especially when tucking in a shirt. Also if I do a bit of walking the jeans inevitably slide down causing the crotch to ride pretty low.
777 the rise is so low half my ass hangs out when sitting. Definitely not enough back rise for my rather bulbous backside.
555 has a great top block and is comfy in the hips and thighs, but the taper to the knee is too sharp for my body type. Makes me look like a carrot. If I had longer legs though this cut would be a winner.
I have not tried the 634 or any of the other fits, but I’m determined to find my ideal IH fit in the XHS, even if I go broke in the process

@nvrp813 sounds like a 633 would be a good fit for you.. unfortunately that’s a journey to find one of those. Maybe even the 1955 cut. They will re-run somewhere in the future i guess

A few days ago I opened up a package containing my first pair of 25 oz denim. It was definitely a little intimidating as I unfolded them, slipped them on and tried to button up. Now a few days in they feel so good. I look forward to putting them on everyday and am really enjoying the beginning of this journey.
I enjoyed seeing all the pictures of fades on here and looking forward to these starting to show a patina. -
@tody Such a pleasant surprise!!

@Oaktavia you look like Brando, dude

Hah right on man...I ended up selling that pair because they were just too big for me. Thought about trying again with 634 but went with 888 and 666 and think I dig those cuts better.
-
@Oaktavia They looked hardcore on you, bru. And 888 seems positively sick, and 666 are the devils cut, right? Nice. The IH-634 black was my first pair. Bought in Tokyo. And it’s awesome to find the cuts that fit. 25oz seems to be a beast of its own. I’ve got my first pair on it’s way, thanks to the amazing @George-Homme, in a size bigger, so hopefully it’ll be a nice ride.
Enjoy!!

@BunBunBunneh the marble effect will go away , personally I wash mine in cold water wool lite dark and throw a cup of vinegar in with the rinse

@Oaktavia personally I own two pair of 666 and don’t wear them because they are to tight in the legs , 634 , 888 is definitely the cuts for me , but 634 you can’t go wrong with , the 250z denim will definitely mold to you after awhile , a few soaks and washes youll see what I’m talking about , I’d try the 634 again if I were you , I know some people soak them first but they will shrink to approx measurements, personally I buy a pair my size +/- and wear the hell out them for a few months ( I’m a sheetmetal mechanic supervisor so I work in construction) and they are definitely my favorite jeans above all else

@Oaktavia I’d try the 634 again if I were you
Next time I need/want a new pair I would like to try out 634 again...until then I am working on my 888XHSmb which need lots of work and I have a pair of 888XHSib incoming which have a whole life ahead of them as well...so likely will be years until 634 day. Thanks for the info about yours though man, I appreciate the conversation.

Question about sizing. How much 25 oz fabric could stretch? Eg., if I choose size 34 which has a waist of 87,4 cm, after soaking will be 85-85,5cm. How much will stretch with wear? Will go back to 87,4 or more? My ideal waist size is 89cm....
-
@boutsk
waist will stretch back to pre soak , maybe a little more .
So I would go for a size 35 . When ordering from Gosport they sure will help you finding the perfect pair. Maybe they have a 35 that runs a little smaller at waist

Getting more blue and softer after every wash. The fades that start to show looks amazing. Washed often just like my XHSBB.
