IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut
-
@shubharamani:
I'm obsessed with these 634SR. Even though the cut is not really meant for me, I don't know…I'm freaked out and obsessed. I definitely cannot afford them at the moment, however -- so that saves me. Giles, if I decide on these, I'm probably going to get them at SESF -- it's safer. I've bought a shitload from you (Giles) but it's all stuff which is not available at SESF. If something is available at SESF, I'd rather try on first before purchasing.
I mind not a bit Shubs. But trying them on will not tell you anything!!! Until you have soaked them to get them to size and get rid of the starch they will look awful! Trust me, mine did.

That's great advice G. I'm pretty sure I'd get a W29, L34 anyway. They shrink 2" in the length and eventually stretch to tagged size right ? Cuz in the 634S, a W30 is too big on me and a W29 is just right. I understand that after shrinking the 634SR, it's going to feel like a jagged knife is strapped around my gut for a bit til the jeans stretch back out but that's OK.
Giles, I'll buy them from you then. I'm "closer" to you than I am to Kiya. I'm sure that Kiya is a nice guy and shit – but I've never met the dude.
I was fancy-ing the 24-oz Sams sold by BIG but after hearing Seul's meanderings about his "muscle car" Sams, I'm gonna stick with Iron Heart. I'm not into slubby.
-
If you had a 34 giles i'd be there in a second. and shubbz, didn't you know that slubby is denim talk for sexy?
lol -
Dead, I've heard Seul use that term – "slubby" -- when it comes to Samurai jeans. That's why I re-used it. But when Seul openly admits that his Iron Hearts feel heavier and that he loves them more than his 19oz Black Knight Sams...I gotta wake up and listen to the man. When Beats says that the SEXIH07BK are the best jeans she's ever owned...WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE ! The grass ain't greener on the other side. I do aspire for a ridiculously heavy-as-fuck pair of unsanforized jeans (no interest in the upcoming 35-oz though) -- and 634SRs fit the bill, though they will require tremendous fortitude and patience to break-in, as Giles noted.
-
@shubbz- lol, slubby =/= sexy. lol. and while i fancy different denim i can respect your uber brand loyalty. but remember the key: WWGW? (what would giles wear?) and he has sams and fh's… like me!
-
29 will work, but Shubz, please do think about this. They are fuller than the 634S and I don't want you to spend a load of money, whether it be with me or Kiya, on somrthing you end up not liking. And a 29 isn't going to have a load of demand on the 2nd hand market…G
Thanks for warning me Giles. Yeah, I know…I have heard that before. I may still buy them anyway. Look, they probably won't look THE BEST on me but that's OK. It seems like many prefer the 461S on me to the Cyclist jeans (as seen by comments WAYWT thread). It's OK. But, given my body structure and general appearance -- it's pretty hard for me to look clownish or unattractive. They're gonna be ultra boy-friendy on me -- I'm prepared for that. And yeah...they're not gonna be my "winners"...and that's OK too. Several have admitted (DougNg, Stewart, others) -- that they aren't totally thrilled with the fit of the 634SR as compared to other IH jeans but that doesn't stop them from giving their 634SR love and tenderness.

Gladly I get that question only for my pictures.
User error. I used the link from the preview shot in Flickr. Flickr seems to store all sizes separately with separate links. So to get the link to the big picture you actually have to open each picture first and then select the large size. Sucks!
Anyway, I think they are sufficient for one to get the idea. If there are one or two particular pics you want to see bigger. I will upload the bigger version again.
I took them on the back patio that is surrounded by grass at about 7pm. That explains the slight green cast.

Yes. That's what I said. Nothing spectacular yet. 40 wears over not quite four months means they have been THE main pants in my rotation. With Austin summer sneaking up on us big time I don't see many more wears happening. Perhaps 10-20. I have decided that I will try to give some serious wear over the summer to my modest but nice 501 STF Verde Rigid. I took out an old pair of 501 yesterday night and the whiskers are really quite nice on those. With the green cast of the new pair I think I can get a really nice result. I also still have the Wrangler and Lee LHT sitting there. Want to experiment a little with those. I want to do my own natural indigo overdye on them. I project I might get to that sometime in July or August.

Yeah, right. I wanna see you wear a pair of 634SR over the summer in Austin when it's around 100F every frickin' day. Anyways, I love the jeans. Could even imagine getting another pair just to have one in stock for when this pair is done with, which won't be soon. So that gives me the problem of guessing what kind of waist circumference I will have years from now. At age 30 I was wearing size 30 in jeans. Now it's 32-33. What is it going to be in 5-8 years?

Beatle, I'm 37 and the waist is 32-33. I hope it will still be there at 40. But America and age wasn't good to me.
Stewart, congrats. That's a real accomplishment. At age 21 I was wearing 28/29. Skinny guy. I need to get down to 31-32 for my good suits to fit me well again. I can get in and I can close them now. I can even breathe.
But I can't say they fit me well. I could let them out a little bit probably but I like the goal.How many wears you got on your 634SR, btw?
If I move back to Europe I think I will be easily able to stay in shape.
-
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I will actually spend a good part of the summer in Europe. Still to hot for my IH stuff, I think. And I like to travel light. I actually have a decent second wardrobe in Berlin. That makes it easier. But from there I take many small trips and on those I pack super light.
