IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I'm not trying to stoke any fires here, but most of the other 634 models have the details that I was hoping for on the 634-XHS - selvedge fly, sewn-in belt lops, lined rear pockets.
These details do not add to the quality of construction, but are appealing to the wearing - in this case me! Except I think a selvedge fly is a detail that improves quality over a lock-stitched cut edge where the stitching can fray.
I'm not trying to be bitchy, cynical or critical, but where do you draw the line on a design issue like this? What details do you add on on what spin-offs of the base design?

recall when the 301s didn't have selvedge id, & it was a big deal to a few of us & we went over all the reasons it could & couldn't happen?
then a few years later BOOM, 301s have selvedge id.IMHO, it takes up too much bandwidth to change those few details that only a very small portion of the community is asking about. the factories get what it takes to make 634s with their eyes closed at this point. to go in & change it is probably a pain in the ass that isn't needed, but keep voicing your opinion cause who knows, in another few years if enough folks b!tch & moan, maybe, just maybe they will change all those small but so important details

The 634 UHR has selvedge fly, beltloops sewn into waistband and fully lined rear pockets.

Got em in December 2013 and they got their first wash two days ago.
Damn, the electric blue looks awesome!!! -
What a beauty! And I envy those shoes a lot.

It sucks big time that they only offer a limited size range!

True (at least for me).

I'm looking to pull the trigger on these but I'm trying to make a decision re: hemming. I'm in Australia so I'd like to get them hemmed before I get them to prevent shipping back and forth. My favourite pair of canvas pants has a 29inch inseam and given there are only 37inch inseams left in my size (36W) cuffing potentially 5-6 inches of heavy denim seems like madness.
From what I've read in this thread around 1.5-2inch extra inseam is a good idea, so i was thinking of having them hemmed to a 32inch inseam which will either crumple to fit almost perfectly or leave me with a reasonable 1-2 inch cuff. Appreciate any thoughts. -
Hi guys! Got mine a week ago. Thanks to axel for advice with inseam length. It's not first of my heavy denim pair. I had a 643s and couple of another medium weight denims, but xhs is unbelievable monster!

Very nice!

I have a few different varieties of IH bottoms, and these were my first and favorite (except they must be put away in not weather, let's face it).
I even have a pair that fit now! If you are on the market for a pair of 31x34 of these, I've posted mine in "Buying and Selling".
Learnt my lesson: Buy these roomy. They ain't a-gonna give much back.

You can try dunking the cuff area, which stiffens the fabric upon drying. Perhaps that stiffer cloth can support a new cuff crease.@jmattsen:
Ive been wearing my 634's for a couple months now and i noticed one of my cuffs is way bigger than the other. I tried fixing it but every time i do it just goes back the way it was, any ideas on how to fix this? Will ironing the cuff out and a new one back in work?
