IH-633S - Self Edge x Iron Heart 21oz Selvedge Straight Tapered
-
been trying to figure out how to get the right fit and i actually missed the selfedge sale because i couldn't decide… the ridiculous inseam on the 633s basically ruins the (otherwise perfect) taper for anyone other than freakishly tall people (i think i'm 5'10 or so).
not stoked on spending another $60 to get a taper from railcar (and apparently a 6+ week wait..??), but it would break even with the 633s if i got a taper for a pair of 634s from rodeo bros... i'm just not sure if the front/back rise is the same (i'm about 31" TTS so i would probably get a 29 in 633s and a 30 in 634s..?).
i know the back rise on the 633 14oz is higher than the 634, but that's only because self edge just started listing the back rise in size charts (none for the 21oz, etc).
i do prefer the normal arcs on the 634s, but only slightly anyway (which is amazing as i pretty much hate all other brand's arcs)
need a new pair ASAP as i've been wearing a pair of SEXIH07BKs for 6 years that desperately need repairs (yes 6, and my only/daily pair... going to send in pics to heddels and maybe i can get one of those self edge gift cards which might fix my problem).

Why not have had SE hem them? Just figured out the inseam/hem change real quick on a size 33. Every inch would be about .05". There is 22.5" between knee and hem, take 3" off, 33.5" inseam so not even a 1/4" difference in hem opening. I ain't even that picky, haha.

Get the 777 cut if you want the most taper and IH arcs. As an owner of both pairs. 633 are my baggier chilling/work pants and my 777 are my slimmer going out jeans. You get a lower rise on the 777 but it works just right for the fit. Go TTS if you want some space. Size down 1 if you want skinny jeans

Just picked them up from the customs (those sneaky bastards!). I can confirm what everyone says about the 633 cut: bloody brilliant! Finally an IH cut that suits me best after trying out the 666 (top block too small, leg opening too wide), 634 (top block okay, legs way too wide), BB (top block too big, good thigh, leg opening too wide), 555 (top block too big, knee too small).
@neph93 If you're on the fence, go for them. Self Edge's measurements are on point and in my opinion the import fees are worth this brilliant and versatile cut. Would be very nice if IHUK could stock something similiar in the foreseeable future. I'm sure it would be a good seller.
-
What size did you go for? I wish Selfedge would measure the IH way
-
@spitfiredealer I went for my usual IH size I wear in all the cuts mentioned above (tag 38). It's a typical 'lifter's fit': comfortable top block and thigh with a slight taper from the knee down for a very nice silhouette.
-
Stellar news @Dion - im excited to see your fit pics! I have a feeling these will look great with the IHJ-46 and some 70s chucks!
-
Thanks, @Appfaff ! I am really enjoying them. So far I can say the top block is definitely comparable to the one of the 634 (hence 633). The smaller hem makes this cut perfect.
They're slightly too long (unhemmed) but I think I'll rock them with a small double cuff. -
Solid fit @Dion - I also am a big fan of the 633 cut - wearing mine now, actually lol
-
yep, same here. fan of the 633 cut.

Anyone out there have the 633-14?

Nice! Thinking the measures look ideal for me. Been wanting a repro Jean for 2017 but nothing looks good enough for my wants/needs. I like my 633n but the rise and thigh is a little snug. The 14 version looks like higher rise, larger thigh and smaller LO - hoping it's not wishful thinking and actually works out ha

I am thinking the exact same thing and that's interesting you bring up the 633n because I actually ordered a pair of those but the rise and thigh was also a little snug so I sent them back and I'm actually using the store credit for those to buy the 633 14oz lol. It's a bummer too because I really like that 17oz natural fabric. What size do you have in the 633 17oz N btw? If they are a size 34 and they aren't working out for you I would possibly take them off of your hands.
