IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[theding]

Hi all,

I'm loving my 666Ls (my first pair of Iron Heart jeans) so much that I have decided to get rid of my RRLs and buy a second pair of IH. Want something a little different, a little darker, and I want to try out some heavier denim so the 634s sound pretty good. Unfortunately I cannot try a pair on in the flesh so was hoping you guys could help with a question on fit.

My 666Ls are a 34 and feel great (one soak, zero washes and only worn a few times) but they are about as slim in the thigh as I could comfortably go (historically I have had to size up in the waist to get a thigh that fits). Looking at the sizes for the 634s I'm wondering if I should stick with 34 or go 33 and let the waist stretch out a bit. The waist on my 666Ls is snug but I conscious it won't have had much chance to stretch out yet.

Is there anyone with experience of both who can help me out here?

Thanks,

Matt

I wear same tag size in 666 and 634 - but fit is TOTALLY different - 666 lower rise and fitted thighs, 634 is designed to be looser/roomier… slim cut vs. straight cut.  It's like comparing apples and oranges.  I think generally you could go same size in both and be very satisfied - but everybody is different and depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Thanks Bluegrass. All I'm trying to ensure is the best possible fit on the 634s. I understand it will be a different fit than the 666L but I was trying to establish if someone who wears a 34 in the 666L should wear a 34 in the 634s.

As BG says, they are completely different cuts, get the same size and embrace the difference…

[theding]

Well that's someone who wears the same size in both and the man who knows saying wearing the same size in both. Which is why I just put in my order for a 34 waist.

I'm sure there are other opinions, but I expect you will like it.  All things considered, I personally find the 634 the most comfortable and versatile of the bunch.  I now have this cut in 3 different denims, 18oz, 21oz and 23oz.  And I'll eventually have the 25oz too.

Agreed, the 634 cut is really special- I have the 18 oz Vulcans, and the 634S, and I'm really hoping that the powers that be will re-release the 23 oz cut.  I'd love to grab a pair of those.  I'm already amazed at how different the 18 oz and 21 oz denims are…

[Giles]

23oz won't happen.  Ran out of that denim some time ago, but 3 more 634S iterations in the pipe…..

the black duck, checked.
and what are the 2 others G?

[seanocono]

That's a real shame about the 23oz. I love that denim.

Conversely, fantastic news re: 3 new 634 cuts.

Okay, they've arrived - awesome service - and I am wearing them. Very glad I stuck at 34. The fit feels perfect to me (will share fit pics later) and I couldn't be happier.

For those that are interested…

Your missing the TW 16oz organic cotton/Rope-dyed Natural Indigo jeans.

That's the perfect fit, really well done. Let the good times roll!

Thank you. I thought the 666L were good but these are even better in my opinion. Worth every penny.
