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

[grandmasterben]

I think you're going to end up with a great pair of jeans…and everyone started somewhere. You don't need to presoak, there's hardly any starch in these in my opinion.

For durability....make sure you wash your jeans frequently! Once a month (which isn't even that frequent) will lead to jeans that last a lot longer and that actually fade naturally and won't look predistressed.

IH-634S have been pre-soaked.  There is zero need to do it a second time.

You're in for a treat with these 634S's. They are soft as a baby's butt and amazing from Day1. They are as durable as it gets. I've had my pair for coming up on 3 years now and they're still in a fantastic shape. I don't wash mine too often as I don't want them to fade all that fast - mind you, the 634S is a tough beast to fade anyhow

Here's my 634's at 16 months. I've lost track of washes, but I'd guess somewhere around 8.

Those look great!  Nice work.

[Appfaff]

Agreed- they look perfect - a nice blend of contrasted and vintage type fades - my kinda jean!

Hey folks!

I just measured my IH-634S out of curiosity. I bought a W29 and I measured as Madame Butterfly taught me, 41cm (*2=82cm which is a 32 somehow).

That means, my pair has stretched for nearly 4 inch.
The jean fits me nearly perfect, even shirt tucked in, love it no matter what.

Are 4 inches of stretch for real?
Next time I size up!

Have a good one!

Received in good order. Hemmed (on the insistence of my girlfriend). And now wearing.

They are absolutely awesome. Could not be happier

Wear in good health and enjoy

I'm new to raw denim and seriously considering getting a pair of IH-634s's. Can anyone comment on their how comfortable they are in warm weather? The 21oz seems like it might be a bit heavy.

Welcome, wingjammer. There are lots of us (myself included) that wear the 21oz all year long. It's a phenomenally-versatile denim that breathes very well, despite it's weight.

Also, just so you know, this thread is for the unsanforized 21/23oz raw. It's not the same denim as the 21oz, which is sanforized. You can find the traditional 634s here:

Great choice, BTW.

It is heavy, but there are other factors that affect how comfortable a pair of jeans will be.  The 21oz denim is a loose weave, which makes it more breathable than many lighter weight denims.  That makes the 634S more comfortable to wear in warm weather.  I live in Houston, and I wear my pair year round, even in our miserably hot and humid summers.

For what it's worth, the hottest wearing pair of jeans I've owned since living here was a pair made of 12.5oz denim.

(Oh, and I moved your post to the appropriate thread. )

[Snowy]

The hottest denim I've ever worn is SDA's 103, that's a 13oz denim. Backing Chris/others this denim is great all year round, even in 42c in Sydney over summer.

My 1st pair of Iron Heart denim. Bought them when i was in Accra,Ghana. The most comfortable denim I own and still my favourite among my rotations. You'll love the 21oz denim and the cut of 634s. Good luck.

SDA's signature denim is 15oz
