IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
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!

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.

Thanks!

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.

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. -

Very many thanks, Nem. You do know you're one of my absolute denim heroes here, so I'm pleased as punch. Now beating the fekk out of them will be easier said then done, I'm too much a "head and desk" type of person to really put them to the limit. But I'll work on it, promise!
