greetings from Indonesia 

just bought these pair of IH 634s which is my first pair of heavy denim and IH denim

wanna ask bout how do i fit on these

[jacoavlu]

welcome simacho
looking good there, perfect first choice denim
what's your plan for the legs? stack, cuff, hem?

[Eugene]

I just got a pair of IH-634s and they are ball-bustingly tight in the crotch.  They were 31Wx34L hemmed down to 33L.  I normally wear 32W TTS, but the guy at Self Edge SF said I should size down to 31W.  Otherwise I think they fit well everywhere else… How's this look?

Excuse the pose…it's an in-joke (maybe someone will get the reference.)

thanks there mate  :).. mm im thinking bout hem cause as you can see the inseam is still too long.. and actually this is size 32 and im usually use size 31 jeans.. im planning to hot soak it too, do you guys think its a good idea?

like your fit mate, they're perfect imo.. and to be honest i want a fit like that haha

No need to soak the 634S, they're sanforised…..

Your jeans don't look too long to me.  You can always cuff them one inch and show off the selvedge, but from the look of it you might not even need to do that.

you saying that i dont need to initial soak it or literally no need to soak it ever? and if i decide to wash it later in the journey, how much will it shrink and whats best between cold wash and hot wash for these? and pardon me if i'm a little captious

trust me its longer than you might see it haha..

none the less i love how it feels cause it soooo comfortable, but the only thing is i keep seeing it in a 'bigger-than-my-usual-fit' way.. or is it only cause its my first pair of straight cut jeans?

No need for an initial soak. Shrinkage is minimal. When you do decide to wash, just check here:

Seul meant to say WHEN you wash them. 

Clothes are meant to be washed. Didn't your momma tell you?

Now I've said it again ???

[Giles]

My mom told me I should not smoke, or drink, or go out with unsuitable people or drive too fast…........Interesting but not the gospel.....

[Finn666]

backing IJ there…wash whenever you have the need to wash them.

great to read you again IJ...hope you had some great christmas days in the US.
much fun for the rest of your trip.

[Blackheart]

Lord Of The Pants? They look great Eugene!

[Seul]

Yes: when you wash them. Not washing clothes if it's def necessary is bullshit. With IJ on this.

Hello Forum!
I am new to the Iron Heart community and am curious about the 634s .
I am a bigger guy and am looking into purchasing these great looking jeans but am curious about the fit.
Do the 634s fit closely to 501s? These are the best fit on me so far.
I am a 42 x 32 usually. and my levis have stretched to around a 43.5 ish. I want the jeans to not look too baggy and have a good fit. Thanks for any and all imput.

hi mike,
i think the best you can do is to measure the levis jeans you own/wear right now, by following these instructions: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/how_we_measure.html

after that you just have to compare the sizes you´ve measured (from your levis) with the ones from the IH-634s (check "Sizing" here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=23 ) and then you should be good to go

[injunjack]

634S are a bit slimmer than 501's, at least on me. Nothing to add on Finns advise.

[Giles]

There is no such thing as a "501".  There is a '33, a '36, a '47, a '55 a '66, in fact there have been 20 major variants since 1873.  Levi's even change the cut for different geographic regions.

The 634S cut most closely resembles a '66 501.

[injunjack]

I  know, I thought that he means todays "mall-501" cut

[Forrest6775]

I would guess the 1955 would fit more like the current 501 STF's. ???
