IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
once the humidity settles in here i might be longing for 14oz denim
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.

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.

I've been wearing my tag 34s on and off since January and, while the waist definitely stretched out such that I always wear a belt, I haven't experienced any real stretching in the top block around the pockets or the upper thigh. Granted I have larger thighs and these have been fairly snug from the beginning in that area - I was hoping they would stretch out.
The front pockets are a bit of a challenge getting anything in/out of them. I usually like to have a pocket knife clipped inside the front right pocket but it's damn near impossible to get my hand in that pocket while doing so - makes for some awkward two-handed maneuvering to get to my change/lighter/etc. or whatever else may be in there.
Has this been anyone else's experience? Maybe just stuff the pockets with rocks overnight each evening and hope they stretch…

Thigh stretch and top block stretch is hard to come by which is basically a function of the amount of material involved. The jeans waist band is a continuous strip of fabric measuring around 35" (on a W34 for example). The thigh measures a lot less so there is proportionally a lot less stretch.
The front pockets are a bit of a challenge getting anything in/out of them.
I've heard this complaint before, and think I've read somewhere that Haraki-san likes a narrow pocket opening, or at least doesn't consider big openings important as when you ride a bike, stuff in your pockets gets in the way. The back pockets on IH jeans are widely spaced for the same reason, so wallets and so forth are to the side of where your butt sits on the bike. I only ever carry a pocket knife on a clip in my front pocket so it never bothers me. Best solution, buy one of these: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/cutnsewn/ihe-19.html Man-bags for the win

Thigh stretch and top block stretch is hard to come by which is basically a function of the amount of material involved. The jeans waist band is a continuous strip of fabric measuring around 70" (on a W34 for example). The thigh measures a lot less so there is proportionally a lot less stretch.
you're sure that's right? It's probably more like 35" around
