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

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

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.

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

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.Mike

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.htmlafter 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

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

You probably can't compare a 42W fit to my 32W fit, but I can give you my observations from wearing 634s for a few days. Sizing down one to 31W resulted in a very tight fit. I struggled mightily with the last button at first, but it's starting to loosen up already. It's still going to be a tight fit for some time and will likely remain fairly tight for as long as I own them.
As far as the rest of the fit, the jeans ride fairly high on the waist and is fairly tight in the crotch for now. I have a 32in inseam and had the jeans hemmed to 33in. This in retrospect is a little too short and I probably would have gone down to just 33.5in or kept them at 34in. The thickness of the denim means that every slight fold shortens the inseam more than usual. Eventually I'll have to wear my pair uncuffed or with minimal cuffs…or sag them a little bit.
634s generally won't be baggy worn true to size and definitely wont sized down 1.

42's are probably the best best. The 42's will easily stretch to 43.5 maybe more. They'll definitely have less taper in the legs than 501's. The 1955's might be a better option and they have more room in the thighs, and taper more than 634's.
