IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Got my blue parcel the other day, and first impressions of these are that the material feels very special, although as my daughter put it, "like cardboard"…......however after a couple of hours wear they are starting to feel a bit less stiff, and more normal, at least insofar as 25oz denim can be considered normal
The two things that really surprised me were that they are slightly looser in the waist than comparable 634S's (I'm a W36), and that the top button is a real pig to do up the first couple of times, in fact you should probably make sure that you're not needing to go to the bathroom in a hurry when you first wear these, could be embarrassing
Other than that, I'm really looking forward to seeing how these develop, and my cunning plan to help kick off the break in is to wear them under my textile motorbike trousers for my hour long commute to work and back each day - I figure if I remove the winter liner and wear these instead, I'll be just as warm, probably slightly better protected, and the jeans should mould to me a bit quicker.
Any recommendations about how much allowance for 'behind the knee' bunching I should make when considering what length to get them hemmed at? For reference my 634SR's are at 33" and feel spot on, but I wondered if I should add a 1/2" or more to that for these to allow for the fact that they're still new, and the creases may pull in more material?
If I didn't have to wear a suit every day, life would be so much easier, at least wrt to finding time to wear my jeans

Today's question what are your 25oz. cuffs hiding?
I never turn my cuffs back down when I hang my pants. Today i caught sight of something shiny in my cuff.. looking into both cuffs i found:
1.Dime
2.Plastic bit from a price tag
3.Cat whisker
4.A bit of grass…(lawn)
5.Maple key
6.Ect. Various bits of leaf, tobacco bits (don't smoke), sand and small stones..
Anyone else? -

Like the ATM in the corner, so when they get you drunk you can withdraw loads of cash to buy loads more beer…....
Yeah, the whole place is like one big long hall.. Yet, we passed the taps like four times during the tour.. Oh I can't stay mad with such sweet ambrosia… Hrumph... You should have seen the poor dude who served us at Medieval Times after... More ale you lowly serf!!

Hey everyone. As my purchase comes closer and closer (next paycheck!!) I'm wondering how everyone cares for these guys when they aren't on your body. Do you hang them up w/ hangers, hooks, or what? My denim collection (2 pairs) fits nicely over my closet door, but I want to take a little more care w/ this pair. Any suggestions? Thanks y'all.

Honestly? The best you can do to these is wear them, let them drop where you stand when you take them off and then jump back in the next day. It's not brain surgery.

I don't care for mine… I just beat the shit out of them.

I'm hanging them with a hanger hoop through the right hip belt loop. I do this because I can't live in fear of messing up my wear shape. I *
cringes >:(* folded my 634s-b's after my first wear and lived to regret it.. I worked with "jeans" on the retail end and I remember the older jeans getting wear marks where they were re-folded..
