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.

I started wearing my 634's about a week and a half ago. I'm reading about all the stretch that will occur with this model. the pants are already slightly big in the waist. I wear my belt as tight as I can to keep them
In place. They're not in danger of falling down but I never had trouble buttoning them. I'm worried I ordered toobig and they will stretch too much. Hemmed already. Oh well. Belt will be kept tight as hell -

Or you could get fat. That's what I did.

Do you guys notice if these jeans stretch in the back rise at all? I have a few selvedge jeans that stretch in the seat top To bottom and I hate it. Opinions?

Today I received my first pair of IH jeans. I chose 634S because I didn't want to go too slim on my skinny legs. They feel great! Size 32. One size smaller then waist measurement.
We couldn't make pictures in daylight because it get's dark too early:
My friend, what kind of boots are those?

so I'm 20 wears into my 634s and i love them. Ive worn them every day for 16 hours except for one. i am shocked at how comfortable they are. im used to some serious break in time with much lighter denims. I believe they have stretched a little bit but its not very noticeable.i have two jobs and my second job is as a server and a bartender. i can work up a good sweat on the busy shifts so i doubt i can wear these through the Connecticut summer while at work. not that i sweat more in them than others, more because i really want to go as long as i can with out washing them. the humidity here can be stifling and i can sweat with the best of them. got my first compliment on them the other day and i went into a 15 minute semi-monlogue on iron heart and denim. luckily my cousin is a patient dude who likes jeans.
