@DrPat:

I found the top block small in proportion to the other dimensions. This could make the pockets appear tight if you size down.

In 634s? Hmmm… you tried BB's for example in same size?? Or Devils?

Yes. The BBs don't fit me so well either. I prefer the looser top block and slimmer leg of the 301.

So then 634 is wrong cut for you, that simple. (I once tried on my buddys 25oz Devils and couldn't get them on…on the other hand 32W in 634 cut is about perfect for me)
We are all different built. (on a sidenote one of my buddies I managed to get 634s is just same sized as I am. If jeans fit him or me it's the same other way around)

Finally decided to wash the 634S after 8 months! Not bad for my first pair of raw's ever!

I know this is going to sound totally stupid, I am new to raw denim. What happens if I wash the jeans after a month in instead of 6-8 months? I retain the dark blue color and then they fade like a regular dark blue Levis for example? I guess I loose the posibility of contrast fading etc.  Am I right? Am I missing something?

On the other hand , If I wash after 8 months, whats the general rule to clean somehow, remove bad odor etc.?

Best regards and happy new year

Most of the indigo loss is through abrasion, not through washing.  I took a piece of 21oz indigo denim and washed it once a week for months, there was hardly any indigo loss.  What you may find is that the combs and whiskers do not set if you wash very soon after getting them.  If they smell, they need washing.

The term raw is often used for jeans that are a dark indigo colour even if they are sanforised (and in the case of IH-634S one-washed)

IH 634s

thx u…

[injunjack]

Reason to sell?  Looks like they fit like 634S does.

[nihped]

lil bit tight at the waist.. and i took that photo after first wash …is it too slim for 634s ??

[injunjack]

No way, mine seem to look slimmer, pics in this thread.

They will stretch out within 48 hours to be comfortable, if the waist wasn't too snug in the start. (about 1" stretch is what you can expect)

[Giles]

They will strtech out in the waist, no probs.  G

[Finn666]

yeah, i´d sell that t-shirt!…

[nihped]

@IJ & G ok.. thanks both of you..

@rafa hahaha.. that tees is my sleep uniform ..so comfy ..  hahahah

[Finn666]

i was just joking mate but tbh, the only reason i could see you selling the jeans for, is that they would be a bit too short for my liking! once the creases are set i think that they´ll even end up a tiny bit shorter as they are now…

[nihped]

I've been wearing this jeans for 5 days during my work activity .. and i thinks (hopefully) the creases already  settled again when i took that picture today .. thanks rafa.. haha
