IH-634S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[the246guy]

Lighter fabric equals quick wear and tear? Is this correct? Reason is, I'm wearing my 14oz for just 2 weeks and I can already see some good amount of wear around the hem, while it took few months for my heavier fabrics to show some wear around the hem.

[Giles]

The 14oz denim produces more pronounced roping, hence the increased indigo loss on the high points at the hem

For those of you who own the 14 oz broken twill and these … how do they compare? Is it worth owning both.

I have the broken twill and love them. Thinking of adding these.

[AdamJ]

@Brandrea I think @Steve has both. I've only had 142bb in the past, but my wearing broken twill 555 right now, it's got a little more 'character' in my opinion but the 14oz is still a solid choice

@AdamJ @Brandrea I've only the 14oz, not the broken twill unfortunately, but can recommend the 14oz as AJ says, they are a solid choice - which I rotate with my 21s

Thanks a lot Adam … I’ll ponder next steps

Hi everyone, I have a question related to the waist and by how much it will stretch out.
It is stated that with wear the waist will stretch out around 1 inch. Which means, after some time, a 31 inches waist will become 32 inches.
Do I understand correctly?
I’m asking because based on the size chart, actual measurements are perfect on the waist however if it stretches out up to 1 inches, I’d need definitely to size down.
Any feedback of owners ?
Thanks

@jthomz If all other measurements work for you at a size 31 then stay with the size 31. The waist will only stretch as much as there is tension on the waistband.

You can size down (and should only size down) if all of the other dimensions work for you. All of us have different areas where we have issues, thighs, calves, waist, etc. and try to maintain the silhouette that we are after.

For me the 666 and 634 cuts works best, while others prefer slimmer cuts. Each person is different as is our preferences for fit.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd some people just buy almost all of the cuts. Weirdos

[jthomz]

@goosehd thanks for your feedback.

The tricky part being, if the waist stretches out up to 1 inch, then it would be my perfect waist measurement. If it doesn’t, then it will be too tight.

Hence, I’m trying to get as much info as possible on that topic, because it will be hit or miss (need to get the jeans hemmed).

Had experience in the past with some jeans that didn’t stretch much in the end (Nudies Selvedge) or in the opposite, stretched too much ( Levi’s STF).

[goosehd]

@jthomz Best bet is to send a note to the crew: shop@ironheart.co.uk and ask for help regarding stretch and sizing. The 1" stretch is only a guide and may be more or less depending on circumstances. The guys at IHUK are very good at what they do and would be the best resource to guide you in that decision.

[AdamJ]

@jthomz The 14oz will definitely stretch, even if your waist is not applying pressure at a normal standing position, when you bend/crouch down, sit down in the car etc you'll unknowingly apply pressure. The 14oz has always been quite supple and easy to stretch in my experience.

I wouldn't overthink it, I know it's a big "if" when you're having them hemmed but if the "will they won't they stretch" is the thing holding you back, I can assure you they will

[goosehd]

@AdamJ Great shout and another reason why you guys are the best!!
