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

hahaha I'll never get a chance to boil my jeans. I can barely fit into them now. hoping after prolong wearing, it'll stretch more.

Does the waist fit right?

there's some space. just the thigh area. hopefully it'll stretch as time goes.

[DougNg]

Might not be the right cut for you…

[mankarat]

It either will stretch or you will get use to it after several wear. . Don't worry my friend

I reckon so too. will see how the 634S fit when they arrive. I know I have huge thighs thanks to cycling and rugby.

hopefully mate. cos today's the 2nd day I'm wearing it but I don't get to wear it all the time in office.

just wondering, do you guys soak your 634S when you first got it? and if i got it hemmed with G, do i have to soak the hem to let the "new" stiches  "settle-in or bed-in"? sorry im kinda confused. some say don't soak to make use of the starch for creasing while others say soak to allow the denim to "settle-in or bed-in". cheers!

[Giles]

no soak needed

[crankyfart]

no need even though I got the length altered? awesome! thank you G.

[Giles]

Correct…

[crankyfart]

great! I shall wear em' later and thrash the shit outta this beauty. somehow its not as stiff as the 666S despite being heavier. makes it less daunting to wear it.

I soaked mine before the first wear, just because that's what I do with all my jeans.  Didn't make a bit of difference.  I won't do that again, since it's basically a waste of time.

[crankyfart]

waste of time? phew! this forum is just awesome. teaches us and allow us to learn from others. both mistakes and good stuffs.

1st wash - no idea how much I've worn them - maybe 5ish months.

Hey all. I'm looking to pull the trigger on what will be my first IH jeans. I'm wondering if the IH634S is the best starting point?

[mvb]

It's probably the first IH pair most have started with including me so I would say yes if you're looking a straight regular fit

It's the best pair of jeans I have ever owned, only surpassed by my 634-raw

Hi CLJ! What do you mean by best (e.g. fit, denim character, fading properties)? Also, what is your preference: a straight fit, slim fight, tight fit? Have you ever heard of the overdying process? I'm sure that you will find your pair and wish you good luck.
