IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
If it wasn't for the lack of room in the crotch area, i would be wearing these much more often.
I have a similar experience in that everything about the fit is spot on other than the crotch area.
If i had a second chance with these, i would size up, only because I've discovered the benefits with sizing up with my 633's. -
Round two begins in earnest. I am confident that breaking these in with 12km of walking per weekday day will bring at least mild relief.
The crotch fit anomaly should probably be mentioned in "fit notes" somewhere, i.e., "If you are a male of at least average dimensions and want room where you need it, size up, brother!"

There was no round three.
I am putting these up for sale and going larger on this or something else in the Iron Heart line.
Iron Heart quality is obviously first-rate all around, but the jeans' proportions aren't compatible with my own. The fit in the waist, legs, seat, and all else is perfect, but there is simply zero gonad room. I was beginning to call these my Birth Control Jeans
(BCJs), a reference to the abuse I was taking in that area. (I have two sons already so perhaps I shouldn't care, but life is too short for that kind of punishment!)In summary, I am selling these 31x34 IH-634, if anyone is interested.
(Sir Giles, might it be possible to consign them at your shop? Thanks for considering it.)
Now–what Iron Heart model to replace them with? I am going to have to live with something that's at least a little too large everywhere else . . .

Useful info, Seul. Thanks.

Just checked out the 666-XHS, and it looks interesting. I begin to think I'd have to go 33 or 34 in those to avoid a repeat fit issue. I'm used to slim fits, but the legs are usually snug when that cut of jeans fit properly everywhere else.
I'm 73 inches tall, very lean (156lbs), with thick and very long legs (former athlete–guess which sport).
Most slim jeans that fit me are 31x34.
(I suppose I should move this discussion to the proper forum . . . )

Allison Stokke?
She and Murielle Ahouré are the only reasons you'll find me glued to the screen during the Olympics or indoor events…

There is nothing planned. I will sit down with H in November and have a chat…....
I'd be willing to go full-blown 25 oz 'Canadian Tuxedo' if you made a 25 oz shirt/jacket. Or part with more money if you made another color/warp weft combination.
