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

Yes, it's definitely not a bad cut by any means. You could have them tapered if you wanted to as well, but you might find you don't even need to. It really depends on your footwear about how large the hem looks.
I pretty much Winter in Iron rangers and any warmish days i'm in Desert Boots, so both of those should be fine. Summer in birkenstocks might look a bit off but sure i'll just cuff em higher and should be grand.
I saw earlier in the thread that people have got them tapered and the results looked good. Do jeans have to be tapered on the selvedge side or is it possible to get them tapered on the inside seam?
Thanks for input btw.

I not a fan of messing with the cut but that's just me.
This cut, at least on me (size 33) is a boot-friendly cut. I have some skinnier jeans for sneakers.

No prob….and jeans can be tapered just fine and still keep the selvedge. You just have to make sure you ask they take it in from the inseam and not the outseam....

I spend all summer in birkies and the 634S. It's a grand look indeed. I've had no need to taper. Let me know if you want to be flooded with images of 634S+Birkenstocks, there's quite a few back earlier in the WAYWT back around Jan 2013.

Well make sure it's a REALLY good tailor if you are gonna mess with em - but might want to look at other cuts if you want a smaller hem (i.e. 555). I agree with MC, although I know some people have had luck with tailoring…
Yeah was looking at a guy called the Denim doctor from Uk, he looks legit enough. I would never get my thighs into the 555s, unless I went for a 35 or 36" waist.

Awesome, I'll have a good root. Are they in the general WAYWT or the boot/shoe thread?
Thanks. -
I am not a fan of tapering an existing cut too but to each his/her own
This is my size 30 hemmed to approx 32.5 and worn cuffed
They are really nice, hopefully mine will fit like that, but the hem on those starts at 8" and the 32" will have 8.8". So I reckon they wont look as slim at the hem as yours.

I think the 666 are great - my first IH were the 666L - but since buying my 634s I haven't worn them. I have the whole 'big thigh' problem too and the 666Ls just can't compete in the comfort department. In my opinion.
It's worth noting that the grey 634s have an even more relaxed thigh than the standard ones. At least mine do.

regarding hemming w/ a taper: i highly recommend sending any pants you want altered to rail car fine goods.
they do great work. as long as you don't want them taken in too much, they will look fine(if the hem is 8.8, probably wouldn't be wise to go below 8")just ask them to start the taper like 10-12 inches above the hem, so it is gradual.

David, perfect fit on those 634s. You too snowy.
On an unrelated note, I think it should be considered fact that if you live near SE/VMC/DC4 your style goes up 1000 points.
