IH-9634Z - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Superblack

[that_was_easy]

Notably slimmer in the waist / top block (terms interchangable?) because the denim stretches less, IME, which includes ownership of 634S-B, but not 634S.  Thighs, knee, etc. sometimes feel about the same, but it's difficult to compare because of the extreme difference in drape and stiffness.  I put these through much more abuse than any other piece of clothing I own and only the seat is barely starting to pill from saddle wear, after somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 miles.

awesome review.  very helpful! did you go tts?  i usually size down one to account for stretch.  i actually sized down 2 on my 634s but that doesnt seem possible with these.

riffblaster, I have the 9634z and they RULE. i went true to size and they were of course a little snug at first but now they are great. they feel quite a bit different than the regular 634..they are really rigid.. same fit and same size but they dont drape at all they just stack look tough..  whenever i wear them people always ask what they are because you can just see how thick and brutal they are when they are on..and i love that they are just straight black…superblack, black stitching, black leather patch, silver rivets. TOUGH AS NAILS.

yeah i think im definitely gonna get a pair, thanks guys!  i just need to figure out what size.  you guys dont recommend sizing down one?  they dont stretch much?

and that nails record makes me want to smash things.

[that_was_easy]

Whoops, meant to include sizing. I always size down one (SDO), because whenever I buy jeans measuring 32" in the waist, they end up too roomy.  But when I stretch them out to 32" the tendency is towards a better fit, go figure.

[riffblaster general]

perfect. thanks guys!

Anyone got pix of a really worn/trashed pair of these?

[that_was_easy]

If I were judging a competition and mine were on display, I'd give them a solid 4/10 where 1=Brand New and 10=Thrashed by Satan.

I have a pair 32x32 here.  USD300.  PM if interested….G

@riffblaster:

ordered.

so much for not spending money right?  enjoy the sb fabric

[riffblaster general]

ha.  they are actually a christmas gift from my wife.

[riffblaster general]

first wear today.  digging them so far.  a little roomier than my 634s, but also one size bigger.    i really like the stiffness of the denim.

today will be trial by fire because we are supposed to get 20+ inches of snow so i'll be doing alot of shovelling in these jeans.

giles, any chance of these being made into a slimmer cut sometime in the near future? i know se doesnt have this anymore in the slim, but is there any place that does ?

[Giles]

The Beatle Buster in sbg will be the closest, the 9301 were exclusive to Self Edge.  G

[maltess]

does black denim strech less than regular denim?

[Beatle]

sbg ? I think a teeny tiny bit less, it's not as soft as the 21oz signature denim…
