IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Morning gang,
I'm plan to order a pair today but I'm torn between two sizes, tag sizes 30 and 31. The issue is not the waist but the thigh. For the thighs to fit perfectly they need to stretch to 11.25 at least. That seems a bit too much for a 10.8 thigh in the TagSize 30s. However, a 31-32 inch waist is perfect and the 30.7 inch waist on the Tag Sizemore 30s should get to that point and I don't want the 31.6 waist on the 31s to get beyond 33. These jeans are for the long haul and I want to make the right choice.It all comes down to the stretch, 10.8 inch thighs would be very tight so I need some veteran advice.
Thanks

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you do not want to even try for .5" thigh stretch. Especially not on the smaller tagsizes and not with the 25oz.
This denim will stretch but not as readily as the 21oz. You'd be suffering sausage thigh, early crotch blowouts and your 'nads getting squeezed (in a bad way) for two months before you saw much stretch and I still doubt you'll get them where you want them.
Get in touch with the IHUK crew and see if they can find W31 which comes up smaller in the waist.

I agree with @neph93 , don't count on any noticeable stretch in the thighs. The IHUK crew is ridiculously helpful, and there are always variances in measurements within a given tagged size. Just tell them what waist and thigh measurements you need and they'll measure the pairs they have in stock to find you the best fit.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I rewatched the "how to measure" video and realized I had been measuring the thigh incorrectly (I had gone 2" down from the crotch) and the IH-666 fit is much too small for my thighs (12 is what I need). IH-634 it is. Now my eye is on the 634S-21 which should be perfect. Now if only the hem were a little smaller on them.

Unbelievable. So jealous of the wearers who get that kind of character into a pair of jeans in just 7 months. It takes me over a year to get that much wear.

To be fair they are over a year old but I have been rotating them out with some 634DD's I wear these during the fall/winter months and the ducks during the spring/summer. They do take a beating tho "no shits given"
