IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
My XHS was tight the first day, after some days and weeks it stretched a lot, I can't wear the pair without a belt. Will measure it tomorrow

I'll get the measuring tape out…..standby.

Hi guys, thanks very much for your responses… I appreciate your help. I know that getting a 2.5" stretch out of the waist is going to be difficult and uncomfortable and I'm not one for tight jeans which is why I'm interested in two straight cut pairs. As I said in my first post I'm deciding between the 634S-B and the 634-XHS. I can see in the online store that there are some 36"s in the 634S-B but no 38" so with those I'd be looking for an oversized 36". With the 634-XHS I can see that, in the 37" leg length (which is fine as I'm quite tall and like a cuff), there are 36" and 38" so I guess there's more chance of finding an under 38" or an over 36" in those? Why do I have to be an odd size? Ha! Fingers crossed. Thank you again for all of your quick replies and assistance. Hopefully we can find me a pair that'll fit right so I can get my first pair of Iron Hearts!

Hi @SML5000, i've just PM'ed you some measurements.

The denim is very stretchy -
Oh yeah, they are tagsize 32!

Hi guys, thanks again for all of your help with sorting my first pair of Iron Hearts! Winchy very kindly took some measurements and personal messaged me with the results. The smallest tagged 38" XHS had an actual waist of 37.5" and the largest tagged 36" XHS had an actual waist of 37". I responded to Winchy saying that, assuming I could expect the standard quoted 1" waist stretch, I'm probably leaning toward the smallest tagged 38" (actual waist 37.5") and then wearing/stretching to my desired 38.5". But then I just checked back in here and wow! JCMx800? A 2" waist stretch? Now I don't know what to do! Ha! All of my previous jeans have been no heavier than 14oz and the best stretch I got out of them was 1.5". I never expected 25oz to be so stretchy they'd go 2"! Were they extremely tight to begin with JCMx800? How loose are they on you now? I know you said you always need a belt now but are they too loose? Cheers.

At first they fitted tight around the waist the way I like it, the top button was hard to do. Now I can't wear em without my Iron Heart belt, but I don't care, looking forward to autumn to wear em again!!!

Thanks very much for the input… I think you guys are right about getting the smallest tagged 38" (actual waist 37.5"). Hopefully in my case it won't stretch anymore than the 1" I need.. but if it does, like you @JCMx800, I'm happy to wear my belt and as @sabergirl says I don't want to be uncomfortable, especially as I'm expecting the 25oz denim to be a bit tough going at first before it breaks in.

Yeah, definitely your pics @KrisB ! I was undecided between the XHS and the 634S-B. I went through the forum threads on both before even posting or contacting about purchasing. The fades aren't 'everything' when it comes to good denim but obviously they are important to me, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in stuff like this. I was concerned the XHS wouldn't fade well being so heavy but your pics on the forum convinced me otherwise so thank you very much! I doubt mine will end up as good as yours but I'll be happy if they even get anywhere close… but I'm getting way ahead of myself. I'm only at the end of day three! Ha!
