IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I had the same thoughts on mine when I started with them 3 months ago. When they settle they look and feel amazing.
Cheers @theorocks - i'm going to give them the go about this summer - havn't tried them with chucks yet, but hoping they don't look too crazy haha. I initially thought they might be too short (although I accounted for an extra 2 inches on the inseam) but after a few hours wearing them, the fabric is draping more and I'll be able to do a small cuff if needed.
-
Thanks for the advice @joephoto - I'm excited to wear them. They are definitely a comfy cut without being super buggy looking. Can't wait for a few months on them to see how they do.

@Appfaff They'll get there. Im currently working my 666 25oz before it gets too hot, but I am just eyeing up the 634's as they are just so damn comfortable. I think after the second wash they were perfect and just fit perfectly. I've got larger legs so I was worried they'd never drape right, but they do and I am looking at buying a new pair now that I have lost weight.

@joephoto - thanks dude - I'll keep the wash idea in mind!
-
634 cut is still my favorite IH cut.
@Appfaff what shirt is that you are wearing?
-
@manufc10 - IHSH-46 Salt & Pepper (XL)

many thanks
-
Great fit @Appfaff! Think the straight cut really works for you.
-
Many thanks Footandmaff
I think I will really enjoy these. I still enjoy the modern slim
Tapered cuts like my 555-03, but I think these will see a lot of use since the IHUK gents helped me nail the sizing on this pair.Cheers

Hello everyone. I'm new to iron heart and to the forum. although not new to selvedge, I just recently purchased a pair of 634s from IH in the UK. Needless to say I am hooked. I had them hemmed before being shipped to me. after receiving them i sent them out to be tapered by a tailor i have used before, that does amazing work. I just got them back a few days ago and i am in love. I have a question regarding inseam shrinkage. id like to hear some of your experiences. i don't think i left myself much length for shrinkage (insert Seinfeld joke here). would pulling and stretching the leg after a soak help reduce length shrinkage? Thanks for reading.
-
They are sanforized and one washed. Unless you throw them in the dryer or wash on super hot, you won't get any shrink
Enjoy them

Thanks for the reply! I cant even bring myself to wear my Tellason's or my Railcars now. although once the humidity settles in here i might be longing for 14oz denim. cheers

I always stretch the inseam in mine regardless, but Appfaff speaks the truth, no shrinkage worries on the 21oz. With regards to the humidity, you may be surprised. The 21oz has a loose weave and breathes very well.
-
thank you @neph93. I hope to wear them all summer long.
-
I wear mine all the time in Texas summers. They're not nearly as hot as you're expecting from 21 oz denim.

Summer is at its peak here in Bangalore, its 100F in the afternoons. 634S is definitely more breathable than other 16OZ Jeans that own.
Second soak at 2 weeks mark, I intend to soak every 1 or 2 weeks in the summer to clean up all the perspiration and dust that is accumulated.

I love Bangalore! Really liking your fit too.

Thanks for your comments on the fit, I feel its quite loose when I wear it, it wont stay up without a belt, I did not realize when I placed the order that I had successfully lost 5 KGs of weight and needed to size down. I still feel a bit conscious about it when I wear it, probably also because I never wore a loose fit earlier.
I love Bangalore too, although I was not born here I lived here many times in my life. Weather is excellent atleast 11 our of 12 months here, the only downside is road crunch due explosive immigration. It used to be a silent, pristine and less crowded town in my childhood memories.
