634s-SEXIH13 - 23oz Selvedge - Straight Fit

[Bluegrass]

Just a comment - I tried the SExIHxLS collab, and LOVED the denim - but the fit was funky for me. I wear a 38 in IH - all fit great: Vulcans, BB 21s and Devil 18s.  Ordered them in a 36" per Kiya's advice and they fit "OK" - but the rise was way too low for me - couldn't keep em up.  So I exchanged them for the Devil 18s  a good choice.  But I can't stop thinking about that dark, inky blue denim… I think the pics in this thread have me sold on trying this denim in the 634 cut - they still have some 38s on the SE site.  But I agree with some comments I've seen here though, that the measurements look a tad different than other 634s - maybe a bit wider and slightly less tapered leg?  It won't take much to push me over the edge I'm afraid...

P.S. if I buy these, my old lady might stage an intervention.

Do it.  Guarantee you won't regret it.  SE's measurements are always a bit dicey, anyways.  If you don't love them, send them back.  Kiya has great customer service, and they are sanforized so you will know how they fit straight away.

My experience with them would tend to agree that they are just a bit wider than the 21oz 634s.

I can probably help out with old lady interventions too if need be…

[Bluegrass]

Thx you guys. and Feck - I even called and got the rear rise, and that was copasetic - so I had no choice but to pull trigger. This sure ain't no denim addict support group! but I could have worse habits.  Hopefully I'll be home when they show up and she won't notice them amongst my other IHs.

Good for you, Bluegrass.  This denim is amazing after it breaks in a bit.

Think I might be opening my pair up today. Think. Fall is beginning to hit….

Congrats Bluegrass, look forward to sharing the journey with you.

You're going to love this denim. It turns everything it touches blue. Your hands will be blue while you break in the buttons, your shoes will turn blue (my white nursing shoes have blue rings, and the Kevlar laces on my Alden indys are blue now). My computer chair at home is blue, and even parts of my bed sheets where I sat down turn blue. Lol. The denim feels tough and is plenty comfortable.

[JCar2666]

All the above is true.  Part of the reason why I love them so much.  My girl was plenty pissed I wrecked a third of the couch with these…..

[Snowy]

^I'm actually hoping to turn one of my couches indigo :). Good to hear it's going to happen

[Bluegrass]

I can't wait.  I had to send the SExIHxLSs back, they fit terrible - but that denim… Slick,  tight weave, dark-dark, inky blue. Damn!! Way cool.  Then I stumbled on this thread and saw they had the same denim in the 634 cut!! Checked the SE site and feck, nothing left but MY size. Meant to be.  SE ships USPS, arrives in Louisville 3 days.  I will soon be staining the bluegrass state dark blue.

As a proud member of the large cuff brigade (shout outs to Friday and Davito), this was even a little long for me (6"). Ended up doubling it @ 3" afterwards….These were worth the wait. They feel really different to the IH-634S'.

Congrats. This is my favorite IH jean… Like it so much I have two pair. One that has some am early wear that I may be using for the hwdc and one that is still crisp and tagged sitting in a stack of "denim-for-someday"

[davito]

Superb snowy mate, this is how Freddy from VMC wear his cuffs. Good job with a double one

Today was my denim-for-someday :). A great denim to have in the stack. Really interesting denim from the very first wear.

@davito, thanks mate. Impressed Freddy can make it happen. What's he do it with, if I may ask?

[davito]

Snowy mate, Freddy is a legend and he wears it well. There is a pic of him in the VMC 25th anni thread rocking his cuffs in the vmc jubilee 25ers
