IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[popvulture]

@Alexander I agree with @sabergirl about not sizing down. 21oz vs XHS is a world of difference, plus the cuts are going to be pretty different as well. The rise on the 634 is iirc about an inch higher, but it’s a plus that it’s not significantly higher like 888, so rise-wise you’re still somewhat in the ballpark of the 777. There will be more room in the top block overall.

My rec: I’d measure your comfortable jeans at their stretched size, then buy that in XHS. In my experience they’ll shrink a bit after the hot soak, then will stretch back out to that chart size but not much more, if any. If you buy too small they’ll be brutal after the shrink. I recently bought a pair that was a bit too small, and ended up returning em because they’d have been unwearable after a soak.

@popvulture Perfect! That's what I did - ordered a 36. I can't wait for a higher rise. I am a bit annoyed with the low rise of the 777

@Alexander XHS is fun, man! Enjoy!

Once you go 25oz… is there any going back??
One way ticket?

It's really hard to go back, but 21 oz is very forgiving in the slimmer cuts.

@long_john86 sidesteps... UHR, for example.

[popvulture]

@long_john86 it’s definitely hard to!

summer time 21 oz, wintertime 25 oz, easy

[goosehd]

@endo but what about 16,18,19,22,23? Oh and 14?

[endo]

none below 21 oz for me, didn't work. and yes, 23 oz is also fine (for me)

I wish everything was 21oz or heavier!

[endo]

life should be 21 oz or higher

[long_john86]

Loving the responses. Never done anything below or above 21oz. Sounds like 25oz is quite the joy - just wouldn’t want to taint the 21oz long term love affair

[popvulture]

Lately I’ve had a few 21oz (OD, SBG) but none in straight up indigo — haven’t had a pair in the classic since my very first pair of IH 555s (unless you count bibs, which I love but don’t wear a ton). I really love the 21oz indigo but just keep getting distracted by other stuff. I hope to snag a pair of 634 in 21oz one of these days… I’ll get to it. Got some fading to do first .

XHS and UHR are my faves for sure. It’s really not easy taking my focus off of em.

Me. To 21oz or 25oz

Nothing else works for me too

[long_john86]

@Oaktavia hot damn think this says it all - beautiful. Assume not been all roses to get there though

[Oaktavia]

@long_john86 thanks man I'm really happy with these. Trying to stick it out longer before a wash. Hoping the combs will show up more before I do.

The matching photo I posted before was out of focus. This one is better.
