IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I haven't experienced any real stretching in the top block around the pockets or the upper thigh.
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

you're sure that's right? It's probably more like 35" around

Of course, sorry. The point remains the same. Edited original post.

I am really enjoying the 634S. I can see why it's the signature cut and so popular. My all
Time favorite pair of jeans -
I agree Matty, I have been loving mine as well. Not sure why it took me so long to snag a pair.

So after 2 months of every day wear (10-12 hrs a day) I had to wash these bad boys. They were Funked up.
I used @Filthy25ozJunkie 's fels naptha method. They came out great and clean and I have some fading going on. Whiskers, front pocket wallet etc.. I have some combs forming on the back but I'm not taking them off to take pics. Sneakers are the Vans Vachetta Old Skools.

I recently washed my pair and thought I'd take a couple of pictures when they were fresh out of the dryer.

yeaaah buddy. those look great! how many years we talking? wait did you just say dryer?

That pair is my very first Iron Heart purchase. Seven years old at this point, though the effective wear is more like 3-4 years for various reasons (weight gain, inability to commit, etc.). They've been washed 10-15 times, been through the dryer nearly as often. Sent once to Indigo Proof for repair, probably going to go back to her in another year or so for additional work. Still my favorite pair of jeans of all time.

old skool is the new black.

Still believe these are the best jeans ever made.
