Cool. Thanks all, just wanted to get some more opinions. Updates to follow!

Waist 35 inbound…......

[Sopiarz3]

Hello, I'm looking at buying 634S very shortly but I'm not sure on the length.  The jeans that I'm currently wearing are at 34". There is some stacking on the front but maybe one crease on the heel. Should i just order them with the 35" and see how they are.  I don't want them to be long to where I'm stepping on them when I'm not wearing shoes.

Thanks for your help everyone.

How tall are you?

[Sopiarz3]

5'11"/6' foot with about a 33" inseam

[Chris]

I'd say to hem 1-1.5 inches off of them.  I'm the same height, and I chose to leave the original length on mine.  They've gotten sort of chewed up in the back because they drag.

[Sopiarz3]

Thanks Chris,  the 34" i have now don't drag but i measured a different pair and those are 35" and those drag alittle bit and go under my foot.

Whats your inseam?

[Chris]

About the same- usually around 33-34".  Back when I bought mine, Giles didn't offer hemming, so I just left them full length, rather than sending them off to someone else to do the work.  I won't do that any more- I like to make Giles work extra for my cash.

That works for both us then…..

Personally I would go 35, because of the combing.

[Sopiarz3]

Thanks Giles.

but are you saying that so you don't have to work.

I just wanted to say that, after lurking here for awhile and reading all about sizing and whatnot, I pulled the trigger and bought a pair of 634s' from Self Edge's online shop.  They arrived today and I put 'em on about two hours ago.  I don't want to put on a different pair of jeans or pants ever again.

Great fit.  These things are incredible.

Threw mine in the wash today after 4 months of wear.. Hope they are dry when I wake up.

They certainly do. I take delight in IH. Nothing does, can, will come close to it. Only well made things endure, this is Iron Heart.

They won't be. But I've found that a delicate tumble dry–if your drier has this option--works fine.

i found the original length of my elephant 2. they were 34" new. Since this would be my first iron heart denim im going to ask Giles to ship the shortest ones they have.  I don't want to be stuck with jeans I can't return. And if they are too long i could just send them somewhere to get hemmed.

Hi everyone I am new to this forum but not new to ironheart. I have a pair of 634s that I've been wearing the past 6 months and I think that it is getting ready for its first wash. How much shrinkage if any, can I expect for the inseam? I have the jeans hemmed to the perfect length and want to avoid shrnkage there if possible. Would hanging the jeans upside down to dry help?

[Giles]

You should get none.  They are sanforised and rinsed already.  The waist will feel smaller until you stretch it back out again.  G

(and to explain Sanforization, if curious 1fookntitefd (interesting handle!) check out http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4550.0 by Giles explaining it)

I washed mine Friday. Absolutely no shrinkage to speak of.

The waist was tighter for about 30 minutes and they've stretched back out and are now the exact same. Also all the creases reset in the same places.
