IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Nice…do you wash those really infrequently?

[KrisB]

nope, I'm thinking about giving them a soak once they hit the one year mark.
Then soak regularly (every 3 months) after the first year.

That damage probs wouldn't 've occurred had you washed/ soaked them earlier on… That being said: brilliant evo...

[KrisB]

Yeah, that's true, by honestly I love it

Hi All, I've been wearing my IH634s for about 7 months now and loving them. they are surprisingly warm. My IH634s' are size 34 but seem a bit lose and have stretched. I can menage 32 waist in other jeans but find them a bit tight when sitting, and I'm considering getting some 634 25oz jeans. I'm not sure whether to get size 31,32,33,or 34. It all depends on how much they stretch. I have quite skinny thighs but I find the 666 25 oz cut too low. I find the size 34 in the 634s too lose in the butt although very comfortable. I've considered getting size 31 or 32 in the 25 oz and if they don't stretch enough just keeping the top button undone and wearing a belt. Ahhh! I hate trying to size jeans without being able to try them on. I'm no where near any retailers so just have to guess. Any advice? do these stretch more or less than the 21 oz jeans? is the room in the butt and thighs much different between 32 and 34 waist in the 25 oz? I'm having trouble visualising the difference in measurements.

[Giles]

I wear the same size in the 634S and the 634XHS.

@rabbit999:

…but I find the 666 25 oz cut too low.

Wut?..

[xtcclassic]

If your 34's are too loose, I'd go with the 33's. They will stretch if they need to.

[rabbit999]

Woops sorry for being unclear, I'm mean the front rise on the 666 is too low for my liking.
e,g,  666 25 oz - waist 33" front rise 10.5"
        634 25 oz - waist 33" front rise 11.3"
So what's been peoples experience?, did the 25 oz or the 21 oz stretch more? or were they the same?

[KrisB]

i got my 32" to stretch to a 34"

[rabbit999]

Wow how long did it take you? were you wearing them everyday?

[KrisB]

Yeah, I wear them everyday. But, I skate in them and that puts in constant pressure on the denim.

[rabbit999]

I'm about size 33.5 waist, and I'm trying to choose between getting a waist 32 or 33. In other jeans I have 32 waist feels too tight but I'm thinking long term stretching, would you recommend a size 32 or 33? Do they shrink back when washed?

[Giles]

You'll get a 32 to 33.5 eventually, but they will be bloody uncomfortable to start with.  The shrink back a little with a wash, but stretch right back out again….

[rabbit999]

hmm, don't know if I'm up for months of uncomfortable wear, other times I've had jeans in 32 I rarely do up the top bottom cuz it gives me a belly ache! I just don't wanna buy a 33 or 34 waist pair and have a 35 or 36 pair in 2 years time! but the jeans will only stretch to my true waist size yes/no? I see you Giles wear a 33 waist in the xhs and they look a great fit. what's your true waist size?

[Giles]

33

[rabbit999]

does the 33 of the 634 xhs feel the same as the 33 in 634s as far as fit goes? That is to say, do the slight measurement differences feel much different? I see you say your xhs's have stretched 2 inches, do they feel baggy now?

[Giles]

They feel different, but I put that down to the very different denim rather than slight variations in the cut….

[rabbit999]

that's helpful, so after stretching 2 inches, do the xhs's feel baggy?

[KrisB]

Well, I haven't washed them, but even after 7 months they form to my legs like second skin. I wouldn't consider it to be baggy, but deffinatly looser than brand new.
