Jii, your fades look great!

I've read up the entire blog for both the 634S and the 634-XHS but still can't make up my mind which one to buy. I've never bought any IH product so far (never touched and felt the 634S or the 634-XHS), so this will be my first step into the IH world. The heaviest denim I own is 15.7Oz, so I've never worn anything as heavy as IH.

As much as I love the challenge of wearing out a 25Oz, I am not sure whether it'll worth putting up with such a heavy fabric or not. Your thoughts?

I live in Northern California, where summers are pretty mild - occasionally a few hot days. Is the 25Oz as breathable and does it mould to your skin? (Several IH forum members talk about how they sleep in their 634S since they are so comfortable even though they are 21Oz).

One point of reference I can give you - I did get a chance to visit Self Edge in SFO and got to try out their collaboration with Leather Soul (the 23 Oz fabric) in size 33 (the size for this model is all messed up. I generally wear a size 34 in most denim brands) and they felt really heavy.

Thanks for your help.

Imo just go with the 634s. Plenty heavy and feel like butter after a few weeks….you can't go wrong with 21 oz.

What he said! 21 ounces are perfect, I wore it last Winter, I wore it in Spring, I wore my 634S in Summer, and I wear it right now I wanted to buy a 634XHS, but now I think i buy another 634S. Just so perfect!!!

I d go for the 21oz version. I own both but 25oz is a real monster and need its time to break and soften up!

[davito]

Yep, go with 634s

[Chris]

Like the rest said, the 21oz model 634S is the way to go.  It's Iron Heart's best seller for a reason.;)

I started with the 634S and have worn them every day for the past 6-7 weeks.  you cannot go wrong.

[Sherdil]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Bought a size 31 off a forum member. Will post fit pics when it arrives….

[xchen]

I dropped mine off at SESF for a hem today. The next week or so will be a drag.

When you wake up in a cold sweat, just remember its all for the greater good.

Hi 
I would buy the 634s, but I would choose the best size.
to help you I will give you the measurements of jeans that fits me best is a Nudie Regular Alf size W28 / L 34 :
waist : 30"
front rise : 10"
back rise : 14,2"
upper thigh : 11"
lower thigh ( + 3" ) : 10,2"
knee : 8"
leg opening : 8,5"
( all the measures taken with the Self Edge / Iron Heart sizing guide )
given the information that I read on this forum and others and from measurements provided I think choose size 28 or 29.
I prefer it fits me a little tight at first, but not skinny either and it quite to stretch with wearing them.
all opinions and advice are welcome 

[Finn666]

i think i´d go with the 29…

[injunjack]

Finn suggest as always tight…

go with TTS (30"), if you want skinnier fit choose another model.

just sayin:

thanks for the reply guys 
to be precise when I say skinny is rather "comfortable" not loose either, I don't want it too loose after, I don't pre-wash or wash my jeans ( minimum 1 year ), i wear them a  long times i can and when it smell I ' refresh " them outdoor or dry cleaning
sorry for my poor english
