IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I gotta extol the breathability of the 21 oz. I've been summertime workin in these puppies through the arizona heat and they keep getting better! Even though I wore them for months prior, the summer has given these boys inspiration and they have since melded to my body. More pics gotta come cus I'm getting ridiculous praise daily.
Probably better in the dry desert heat. Its pretty humid in the summer where I live and there have been days where heavy denim is just not comfy. Starting to cool off a bit so the 634S have come out more.

That's a DFW (Damn Fine Wife) you have there Georgeel…..
A Premium Wife to match his Premium Denim. Although few of us can agree on how to wear our jeans, many of us have that much in common here. After all, lesser wives wouldn't tolerate such expensive and obsessive habbits.

Ok I think I am ready to order a my first pair. I have measured my jeans that I like the fit of best and they are very similar to these but I have a few questions.
I know it says no shrinkage but I want to get these hemmed so how much would you add to get them to end up as close to possible as desired length? Or do I just order with the measurement I want as the final and they will adjust??
Can someone tell me the difference between these and raw?
Will I be sorry I didn't order the 25 oz version?
My tts is slightly smaller then what i plan to order will they shrink to fit? - I will not size down (yes I have read a lot here

OK, to account for the combs in the back of the knees, you should add about .75 inches (2cm) to the length you want for hemming. That should work out for you after you've worn them a while and the denim starts to break in and conform to your body.Can someone tell me the difference between these and raw?
The 634S uses denim that is sanforized (pre-shrunk); raw denim is unsanforized, meaning the fibers will contract when they get wet (shrink to fit).
*I think this is the focus of your question, but technically speaking, "raw" and "unsanforized" are not synonymous.Will I be sorry I didn't order the 25 oz version?
Only you can decide if you'll be sorry for buying these rather than the 25oz denim. I will say, however, that the 21oz is Haraki's signature denim and the 634 is his signature cut. Together, they form the foundation and soul of Iron Heart. This model is the consistent best selling jean year after year for Iron Heart. If you are only going to buy one pair of IH jeans, this is the quintessential choice.
*On a personal note, this is the Iron Heart item I ever bought. I don't own the 634-XHS, and frankly, I have no intention of ever buying them. Extreme heavyweight denim has no appeal for me.My tts is slightly smaller then what i plan to order will they shrink to fit? - I will not size down (yes I have read a lot here
As I said before, these will not shrink to fit. The 21oz denim is a loose weave and can stretch a significant amount. If your true size is slightly smaller than the size you are considering, the best fit may come from sizing down, despite your reservations. -
I'd say these won't stretch (much if at all) if you don't put pressure on them…
I my experience they do stretch even with no pressure….

So, is it recommended to size down in the 634S and allow for waist stretch?
My BB (21oz) are tagged 32, a true 31 waist, and have been quite roomy in the waist from the start. If I were to buy a pair of 634S in 30 and allow for stretch to my true size (prob around 30.5), the other dimensions would be pretty similar to the BB and not the straight fit intended. Better to just wear a belt, right?

So tough to get size and fit right. I would have gone 34 waist but I could not get my thighs into those jeans whereas 36 went on my legs snug, but fit. Now they fit nicely but the waist is too loose for my liking. Picky picky picky.
