IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Well I've been lusting after the 25 oz for the past three months. I'm currently working on the 666s and want a higher-rise, more "vintage" cut. PLus I want 25 oz. I need someone to tell me right now a good reason why I shouldn't. Otherwise I'm effing doing it!
Oh, sizing question (lame I know): I am a 31 across the board in IH. Normally that's because they tend to end up stretching/shrinking/stretching to 33 inches. I noticed that the 31 in these starts at….31 inch waist out of the box. I don't want to go up to 32, but I guess I'm not quite sure what to do. I definitely don't want them too loose, I has chicken legs so these will already look bigger on me. I also wonder that due to the higher rise they probably sit differently? Bah. I'm just procrastinating because my wallet is glaring at me.

I'm not worried about the "pain," what frankly has kept me hesitating is the stiffness and tendency (at least from peoples photos here) to rip at the cuff or frat at the hem, etc. they cost a lot of dollars and I don't want to risk having to repair them right away. I'm a cuffer not a stacker…

Good to know. Your pics are quite helpful as they offer quite the meticulous documentation of ye olde 25 oz.

this fabric is God's gift to us mortals.
and Super Haraki made several models out of this.
this is the stuff of legends. -
Understood. What might help is an initial wash or soak to slightly soften the jeans up prior to wearing 'm hard. In hindsight, it's what I should've done.
What happened? Crotch blow out? How long did they hold up before the unfortunate event? I ask, only b/c I love the dark unwashed indigo color and also want to develop some high contrast atari (and I think I read Giles and Beetle don't wash for 6mos).
I might not soak/wash regardless (to each his own right?), but I'd still appreciate some education from a knowledgeable gentlemen like yourself (and the rocket).

What happened?
Just some wear from cuffing… Reckon it'd be less had I soaked prior to wearing/ cuffing, but who knows...

G, any plans to get some more size 34's in stock?
-
I will rerun at some point, but I have too many of the other sizes atm, to justify a new run just yet….
So what you're saying is I've gotta either slim down or fatten up? Think I'll go get myself a pizza or two…
-
Not exactly. What inseam do you need? I can get the Japanese version which have a 34 inseam…..
Hmmm, interesting - I would have gone for a 35" inseam in an ideal world but i'll have a think about it. Same price?

The view of the beautiful pictures makes my heart beat faster! Since then I've read that the thighs of the 634S-19L are slimmer, I think I should finally buy a pair of the XHS…
