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

[jacoavlu]

adam, have you ever felt an OD denim (from IH)? the texture is really quite different than indigo, whether the jean was sanforized (634sb, BBod) or unsanforized (666od, sexiho7-bk) to begin with. you can basically think of the od process like super hot wash that coats the denim black… so the od process changes the feel of the denim quite a lot, to me it seems to tighten up the denim and also soften it. it really changes the jean and is a nice alternative to the indigo.

jaco, I have never felt the OD IH denim, nor have I seen anything else that has been overdyed as such.  Sounds incredible.  Much appreciation G and jaco!

After 6 weeks of waiting I got my second 634SB, this time w33. Looks pretty new, so thank you very much, ChuckDenim!

Love the fit. They feel much softer than my Samurais.

I felt like doing updates for the HDC, though I don't wear them much lately.

and everyone always asks, how does he do it?

[georgeel]

I'm mulling an insane unceasing desire to have a pair of 634-B.
Fortunately 29's are over…

[georgeel]

.. But maybe I can go for 28…

[jacoavlu]

I haven't looked at the numbers but, in general, careful sizing down in OD…..

[derivative666]

Very strange but my 634s-b are considerably bigger then my 634s in the top box and thigh.

[Giles]

Yep, they did run a shade larger than the indigo 634S

[jacoavlu]

well giorgio looks good in everything anyway, I'm sure he's game

[georgeel]

I went 28 in 634sr, and I was fine.  :-\

the fades on maxpower's OD are sexy! geez how he does it so beautifully?!

@jacoavlu - damn i love the length you got your jeans at. i can't seem to figure out what inseam i must have to achieve that look of yours. im standing a 173cm so about 5"7 and did a 32" inseam but theres still some excess. im worried if i go 30, it might be too short. any advice on how you decided on your inseam?

[jacoavlu]

no advise here I'm no good at it either… the 634sb are at factory length about 33.5, got lucky on those. I will say every pair and fit is different, same length doesnt work for everything, takes a lot of wisdom to get it right from the start.

[crankyfart]

yeah i altered mine to 32" but apparently its still too long. quite a fair bit of stacking still.

[mankarat]

let it settle down before you decide to hem more,some will shrink further after 3-4 wash

[crankyfart]

so you reckon I should just continue wearing and decide whether to alter more after the first wash?
