IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
wish there was some kind of trade-in program. my pretty much retired 634S. 4 years old
Sell them to a Japanese person for like $500 and buy yourself a new pair (My buddy did this). That or hit up Rudy and or The Denim Vault as they are both looking for this type of stuff.

true. possibly until they become ass-less chaps. which will inspire a new iron heart product.
25oz overdyed ass-less chaps. the future.

From naturally having a larger lower body (also being 6'2") and a lot of strength training, I have a miserable time finding anything that fits me properly. My TTS is a 34" waist, 13" thigh, and 10" knee. Furthermore, my thigh doesn't taper all that much. It is impossible to find anything that fits my top block/waist without having a hem that looks like a parachute pant. My first foray into raw denim was A.P.C.s New Rescue, and I kid you not, it took me 2 1/2 years to stretch those suckers out in the thigh (they went from 11.25 to slightly over 13" in thigh). In the process, the waist got pretty distorted (now 36" from tag size 32).
After doing a fair amount of research, I made the leap of faith and recently purchased a pair of size 34 634s's. The moment I put them on, my jaw literally dropped. I'm working on breaking in the thighs and knee a little, but I have never had a pair of jeans fit like these. With a frame like mine, I believe the 634s is the closest thing I'll ever get to a tailored fit and I feel I can safely say Iron Heart has a customer for life. Now I just need to find some killer boots.

Iron Heart's got you covered:

Thank you for the welcome. Considering I very snugly fit into the thigh of a size 34 634s, does that pretty much eliminate any of the slimmer/tapered cuts? I would kill for a pair of 634s with a 8-8.5" hem.
And I really wanted to love the IH boot collabs, but they are just so darn bulky and inelegant. Guess I'm looking for a more classic work boot (i.e., classic RW or Alden) but I can't fault IH for trying to stay to true to its functional-motorcycle spirit.

Yeah, you're probably out of luck on the slimmer cuts. Big thighs don't leave you many options. You may want to check out the 1955S; the size 34 in that model has 13.8" thighs and tapers down to 8.2" at the hem. Really high rise, though.
You might consider having a tailor taper your 634s, too. At least one of the Forum members has done it that I know of.

I can't find anything motorcycle in IH boots….. Just IMO

The 634's are keepers

Hi Folks, I'm looking to get my first pair in the next week or so and have decided on the 634s (I think), but just wanted to get some advice on sizing, most of my jeans are 36/38 waist, so just wanted to know if people size down on these or buy spot on. I'm guessing there is no shrinkage but they do stretch up and inch or so….?
Any input appreciated. Thanks
-
Definately the upper, any idea how much stretch I can expect and fi they are spot on for size, or if they are bigger than 36 as standard.

Standard advice:
Take your favorite fitting pair of jeans, measure according to the methods shown on the "How We Measure" thread, check the sizing numbers for both the 36 and 38 and purchase accordingly. Keep in mind that the 21oz denim does stretch, so with some wear, they will loosen up a bit.
