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

@Giles:

They're pretty soft anyway.  I would not soak, you'll achieve nothing.  Giles

I normally do an initial soak to remove the starch from raw jeans even if sanforized. I've heard it said that the starch weakens the cotton fibres. So your saying no need to do that then with the 634S?

@Giles:

Next time (if there is one), get in touch and I will make sure you get a paiur that are 34.

Giles

There will definitely be a next time… i ordered a few items to test the proxy waters and it went err OK haha … i accidentally ordered a size XL 10oz Chambray even though i told him i wanted an L in any shirts i ordered, and the inseam on the 634S are a bit long. Live and learn.

[Seul]

Well the inseam hardly is his fault… When ordering a shirt, it's best to put all sizes in it (eg. I ordered a size 40/ Medium).  I don't know, my transaction went swimmingly and the added chocolate was loved by all at work!.. 

[Splattered]

Haha yeah the chocolate was a nice touch

I put down the sizes i wanted but accidentally linked an XL auction cause i was busy at work and he just bought what i linked… my fault. And yeah the inseam isn't his fault... i had him email the store front seller to verify the inseam length and he told Hide it was an even 34" but it arrived as 35.5

[Giles]

They've been soaked already…G

@Splattered:

I've been telling myself that IH denim would be way too hot for SD but Lando convinced me otherwise… so if i die of a heat stroke it's all his fault! ha ha

I'll take the wrap if you do but something tells me you will be just fine! Oh and if you die, can I get your jeans? JK

[Splattered]

Hahaha yes, i'll just scribble my will up on this el pollo loco napkin sitting here on my desk…

[Splattered]

Ahhh what am i gonna do with an extra 3" of inseam? haha i'm wondering if i should send them off to be hemmed or try a double cuff or something.. they're so thick though i dunno how well that'd work out.

[Splattered]

Ok i've decided to send them into SENY to have them hemmed but i'm not sure to what length… i usually get jeans hemmed to a 34 cause i like a small cuff but usually have to account for at least an inch shrink after a soak... so should i get these hemmed to a 33 or 33.5? I am an actual 32 and like just enough for a small cuff, or a slightly bigger cuff if i sag them a bit.

[Beatle]

I doubt you will get an inch in the length..33 should be good

Stewart, those are looking fantastic.

I'm contemplating another denim purchase this fall and 634S are going to be it unless something else IH comes along…
