IH-461S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Boot Cut Jeans - Indigo

[wellitis]

Seven months of wear 2 washes.

The 461S is not geting enough love around here. 

3 month, 2 washes, 3 to 5 times wear/week and lots of action. Only the very slight hints of fadings.

[Cole]

Almost 6 month now. 2 washes. Some evo and some slight fades start to show now. I need to get another pair of IH Jeans, maybe a 666, because the people at work start to think I don't have another pants.

I bought a pair of regular (non-selvedge) 461 from Japan a little while back and have been waiting patiently for them to arrive. They came yesterday and I am in love! The fit and cut is absolutely perfect. I measured my regular old Levi's at about 35" in the waist, so I went with 33" on these figuring I could stand a bit more snug fit if they stretch to be a little less than that. They are a little snug now but should be perfect with a little wear-in. I only wish there were more 461 varieties being made other than the 9461z (which I plan on getting as soon as I can afford them  :-*).

I am surprised you could make the thigh measurements work after sizing down 2 sizes.  Would like fit pics when you have the time!

[Bluegrass]

No kidding! Looking at the fit pics and the measurements - this is definitely a niche cut (not for the masses).  I will also say for those who can rock them, they look great.

Small restock…..

Not sure if this is the right place but it seems it is one of the few places I can make a new post. So I'm pretty dead set on buying a pair of the IH-461S. I dug out my most comfortable pair of Levi's 527 that I own and measured them per the IH provided guide.

Here is what I got:
35" waist (I need a belt to keep the butt from sagging but it's not like they will fall off of me with out one)
11" front rise
14.25" rear rise
12.25" thigh
8.75" knee
9.25" cuff
30.5" inseam

I'm brand new to the world of high quality denim and I'm not sure if I should buy the 34" or 36" IH-461S. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@sleepyeyes I moved your post here….

Go size 34.  After about a week, the waist and thigh will have stretched a bit...

Hey Sleepy-

Ok, I see Giles has answered you.

And you get a free brass keyring in the bargain, not bad . . .
