I think I saw a mention of updating the 634s sizing charts in another thread (I think the hem of the 33 was off).

It will get done but thank you for reminding me….G

Bought my 634s a size down to incentivize my weight loss intentions. Now dropped 1.5 stone and took 'em out on the town in Newcastle!

Any chance that 634S will ever come longer? Mine are a 33 x 24 and really need a 35 or 26 inseam. Love these but want more breaking on the bottom. Any idea?

(I have the 634 XHS in 36 length and they are perfect.) Curious about the 634S

Thanks

[Giles]

I may get the odd deformed pair that are taller than they should be.

Alternatively the 634S-RAW will be 38 pre soak about 36 and a bit post soak…..

[GJLW]

Outstanding… If you have the odd long pair, please let me know.

When is the 634s raw coming out? the 623-XHS is insane. Love them. And breaking in nicely...

[Giles]

634s-raw before Christmas is about as accurate as I can get…...

Hello all,
I'm totally loving my new 634's, but I have some questions about caring for them. I've searched, but haven't really found the answers I was looking for, so here goes…

Before I start, I'd like to mention a few things. These jeans are two weeks old, and about two inches too long.

Firstly, I like to cuff my jeans sometimes, but there is a crease forming. If I decide to hem them later, and the hem is below the old cuff crease, will there be a "ring" around my leg right above the hem?

As I understand it, the jeans should get a little shorter when I wash them, yeah? This is confusing, and I've read it in a few different places, but the jeans are sanforized, so they won't shrink, right?

I like being able to cuff them, but I don't want to cause a permanent hem crease, and I'd like to be able to hem them once they've been washed and shrunken to their proper length. But... I can't wash them for 5 more months. Do you see why I'm confused, or did I just confuse you too?

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Giles]

They will not shrink when you wash them.  They "lose"an apparent half inch or so in the length when the combs set, that's it.

[injunjack]

Seawolf, you're out in Sahara or Gobi Desert where there is no water to wash clothes…..?? 

Yes, there will be permanent mark "ring" and possibly frying from cuffing. You can't have both.

Live with it.

Generally, the best thing to do is to get the jeans and decide if you want to stack, cuff, or hem and stick with it.

This is the answer I needed to hear. Thanks.

hmmm…. decisions, decisions. 

Thanks!

Took off early from work, hit some range balls, then took the dog for a hike in the 634s, ih-27, and 9526J!

here are my 634s… bought this July. No idea on the wear, maybe around 3 months?! Either way, I love 'em.  ::)

Being quite new to the forum, and only very recently having started to post very modestly, I probably should really "introduce" myself with appropriate attire, namely the one IH piece that I own, (and much love), my 634S jeans.

To get them to fade strikes me as the task of a lifetime somehow. They have been worn, pretty constantly, for about a month. Considering their durability, and how "fekkin" (picked up that word from my new forum mate Nem) expensive they are, chances are this pair will remain my only Iron Heart  possession for some time.

Down under i love how you still have the stitch that held the pocket flasher.

I love the feel they give me, it's almost indecent 
They are absolutely cut like made for me, what the British would call a "bespoken" pair of jeans. I won't wear much else in the foreseeable future.
