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

[Jesselirola]

so just finished a lookbook in my studio and figured i'd give you guys a glimpse at what the subject sees; as well as a look at my newly acquired 634SB's.

they're hemmed what I thought was a bit short, but they work well with chucks and chukka's - you know, summertime footwear.

Hey guys.  I'm new to this forum and have decided on the IH-634S-B as my first pair of IH's.  With that being said I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what waist size I should go for.  I measure out typically a 34" waist.  I'm stuck on wether I should go for the 33" for stretch reasons or stick with a 34"?  Was curious to know how sizing has worked out for people who have gotten these.

33 this denim stretches a lot. I also found my 634sb to be slightly bigger then my 634s.

Thanks for your input derivative666.  As you can probably see my concern on the matter.  These are rather expensive jeans so I'm trying to get the right size on the first try.

[derivative666]

Understood,  you are making a wise choice once they break in you will never look back. Welcome to the family!

[JCar2666]

Thanks dude.  Does everyone else agree with derivative666 that the 634S-B's are slightly bigger than the 634S?

I think it might depend on the batch, I would wait for Giles to get these in and make sure measurements are consistent.

The denim will stretch, what to you want the waist to end up at, after stretch?

[JCar2666]

Anything close to a 34" waist after stretch would be great.

[derivative666]

The 21oz denim has been known to stretch up to 2.00" in the waist. Send Urbanwoodsman a PM he is the master of stretch.

Can't say it enough. Thanks again for anyone who has helped with their input.

OK people.  These are ready to ship to me from Japan….Hurrah.....

[JCar2666]

I'm gonna go on a whim and say you re-hassled Haraki just right there G.  Good work.

[georgeel]

There will be more 28's?
I think I'll go 28 in any case, but I wish that G will choose for me the bigger of them… pls pls pls

[Giles]

I think I only have one pair of 28 coming in.  So lucky you, you can have the largest and the smallest…

[georgeel]

I know that does not exist a pair identical to another…

[JCar2666]

Getting ready to restock these this week G?

[Giles]

I am, I do not have a confirmed drop date from UPS yet though, so I suspect it's going to be Friday…

When you chain-stitch to a shorter length on the OD's do you do anything different to the thread?  As in, does it look odd with a bright new hem?  A strange question I'm sure but randomly popped into my mind today.
