      @Chris:

      Well, the 21oz denim is sanforized, so it doesn't really have much shrinkage in it to begin with, but the overdye process is basically a very long, very hot wash.  After that, whatever shrinkage was left is gone.  That's why all of the overdyed products tend to run a bit smaller than their normal counterparts.

      Thanks for the help.

            I just had to check one more time.  And no one had snatched up that last 38.  And today is my birthday.  Really.  Dammit!!!  I am weak.

                          My experience is purely under 16oz., the heaviest I have is 15.7 Momotaros… so I am looking forward to these. 634S-B and Viberg scout boots... I'm done spending money for a while.

                            Good luck with that!!  In any case congrats, you got some really nice gear.

                              So, I figured - if the news jeans I got are not fitted enough, it just means I need to pump more iron with my legs.

                                My old sewing machine could barely handle a small fix on my 634 overdyed, broke 2 needles.

                                  Hi everybody. I'm newly registered on the forum, although I've been reading often recently. I'm a big raw denim fan and have been looking for something a little different/special for my next purchase so have been considering taking my first step into the Iron Heart world. The two main pairs of jeans that have caught my eye are the IH-634S-B and the IH-634-XHS. Although I'm really taken with the idea of the 25oz denim I'm equally intrigued by the 21oz overdyed too! I'm torn (that's why I'm posting this in the threads about both jeans… sorry if that's the wrong thing to do in forum etiquette)! Regardless of which pair I go for I'm worried about the sizing. I've looked at the ‘how to measure’ guide and, as advised, have measured some of my best fitting/most comfortable pairs of jeans from recent years (Wrangler Bluebell, LVC and my current project Eat Dust) to compare with the sizing charts available from Iron Heart. Two of my pairs were tagged as 36” waist and one was ridiculously tagged at 34” (although, if I remember correctly, the three pairs started out at around 37” prior to wear) but in reality, using the ‘how to measure’ guide, they are actually now all coming out as an exact 38.5”. This is why I don't know what to do. I don't wish to sound like a ‘stuck record’ but I’ve obviously stretched my favourite non-IH pairs around 1” to 1.5” in the waist over the years, as is normal with denim. However none of those were even close to 21oz. I'm aware that the main site states that the IH-634S-B can stretch ‘up to 1” with wear’ but what are your experiences with this weight denim. Based on my other jeans I need a 38.5” waist to be perfectly comfortable so my concern is that if I go for the 38”, which apparently measures exactly as tagged, they'll end up too loose around the waist and saggy around the seat a few months in BUT if I go for the 36”, which again measures just as tagged, is it too big of an ask to expect 2.5” waist stretch when all denim usually manages is 1.5” maximum?? What would you guys do/have you guys done in similar ‘between sizes’ situations? I sure wish IH made a 37” waist. Thanks very much in advance.

                                    I'd probably go with a 36" and ask that they find a pair in stock that measures close to 37".

                                      I agree, as long as the other measurements work.

                                        Looks like there are five 36s in stock and no 38s.  I actually got the last 38 and that pair measured just a bit smaller than what was shown in the chart, but close - not an issue for me as I know they will stretch out. I think there is always some variability across the pieces.

                                          Hi guys, thanks very much for your responses… they're much appreciated. Yeah, all of the measurements for the 36" 634S-B actually work for me (either the same as or very close to my current best fitting non-IH pairs) except for the waist but the fact that people with lots of IH knowledge/experience like you think I might be okay with the 36" makes me more confident about giving them a shot. I like the idea that there may be slight variations in each pair and that someone could check if there are any 36" that run slightly larger in stock. Thank you again everybody.

                                            Took my pair of the 634S-B out camping this past week. Stayed nice and warm whilst trailblazing and stomping down the terrain in my Danners. These will always be my workhorse jeans for the gun times and tough wear.
