IH-9634 Super Black

Do these stretch much/at all? I am more or less a 35 waist and could get away with a 36 if they didn't stretch but I would probably prefer a 34 + a little stretch. Thoughts?

As far as I am aware, no stretch in the 9634, LandoCal can you confirm? The new 9634Z will stretch as the weave is much more like the 634S

Bummer. The Selfedge page says that they stretch up to 1", but it looks like a lot of that description is copied from the 634S page.

OK OK OK
the superblacks are the most intense black jeans ever. add a superblack riders jacket and you have the slickest jeans combo available anywhere. BUT they are a gateway drug! they led me to the 634S and well… the super and ultra heavy flannels.
first you must admit there is a problem..... but that is another story for another day. i digress.
anyhooo....
i am soooo excited by a softer 9634Z. i want a set as soon as they are available!
i have never dug buttons on jeans in the first place and that would be a variation (or customization) on the 634S i would opt for as well. i probably should have been pursuing this avenue myself. buttons suck, even the best IH buttons. besides what about a killer heavy duty IH zipper, maybe even a coated black zipper for 9634Z?
my main prob with the 9634 is the stiffness. bring on the 9634Z. count me in.
sizing bits. i am a 32 in 634S. clay told me to buy the superblacks a size up to 33. he was right. i got the opp to try the 9634 in both 32 and 33 and the 32 was waaaay too tight and restrictive. if i had bent over to tie my shoes, i would have popped something . i am thinking that i can go back to 32 in a slightly softer pair.
hey Giles, any timetable on the 9634Z?

Giles, is there any difference in cut on the Z model or is it really just the denim and zipper instead of buttons?
Basically, I'm all but ready to pull the trigger on the last pair of 36s you have but most of my jeans have a little more rise than that. My S5000VX measure up about the same as the measurements for the 9634S on your page, and they are borderline too short for rise (for me…what can I say, I like a lot of rise). 9634 won't shrink at all, right?
Thanks!

Just found mine for work and put them on. No chance to measure as I am late to the bar but will measure tomorrow and post outdoor pics. They feel great! I would suggest "puling the trigger" on these. You will not regret it!

Just zipper and denim. No probs Daveo.

Here are some photos for you daveo. Just washed hang dried outside for the 4th time since I bought them about a year ago. Jeans are still very wet in these photos.

Good stuff Landocal! Seems like the denim really retained the blackness even though you've put it through battle tested wears.
That's a mark of some good workmanship.They are still wet in those pictures which makes them a bit darker than they actually are. I do however agree with you on the workmanship. Which means I may have to buy another pair for safe keeping since I am not the biggest Zipper fan.

@shubharamani:
I'm not happy at all that the IH-9634 is being fucked with. Seriously. That's a beautiful jean ! Zipper ? C'mon ! I guess if we truly adore this jean as is, we need to stock up on a couple more pairs.
What waist size are you? I'll pop a pair aside for you, if I have them, if you want them that is. If I have not got a pair I'll rip the stockroom apart in Hachioji on Saturday looking for a pair

Giles, in the IH-9634 I'm a Waist 29 or 30 (I like to wear those Boyfriend style). But Self Edge in San Francisco has my size in stock – so you don't have to do that. Sorry bud...you know I live literally 10 minutes (driving) from the Self Edge store (Mission neighborhood, SF) ! By BART, I'm there in 30 minutes tops. I'll probably pop in tonight and grab a pair.
