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

Hey, I measure the same as you, I have the 634's in a 36 and Raw Busters in a 38. The 36 definitely fit better in a traditional sense, but I dig the slight sag on the Busters. In other words, go for a 36.

thanks guys, just wanted to get some confidence before ordering.

Sorry, I got the wrong impression from your posts. Like Seul and Megatron said, go with the 36, you should have enough stretch from them to fit really well.

36 dude, should be fine. Don't shit yourself if they are tight in the waist when they arrive, they will be fine (unless they are crazy tight). However, if they are very tight in the thigh come back here and post for more advice (while the jeans are still returnable for a larger size).
