IH-634-XHSod - Overdyed Indigo 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut

[Jordonf9]

Here is a question I am 75% sure on. With the over dye process, the jeans are made, then boiled in the dye right? Not the fabric is boiled, then sewn together?

I love the bit of slub in this denim too. I think I have a problem….as I am probably 65% of the post on this thread....ha.

I think the entire garment is dyed. The care tag of my 14oz OD 634S is black from it.

This is #2 in the least breathable of the IH bottoms I have owned. the 16.5 oz duck is the #1

@Giles how daft do you think us Americans are?

Now all we need is, something possible impossible….double knee 25 or 25od

On average, no dafter than any other nationality…..

These are now endangered….

Okay, so I need some feedback on the fit. I have been wearing only 666 cuts from IH and these feel super roomy on my skinny legs compared to 666. Although I like the looks and I guess that's how they are supposed to fit? I'm little bit worried about stretch since the top block feels almost too comfortable and I think I could squeeze in to one inch smaller size. Should these feel tight in the top block or is loose the way to go?

To be honest, I didn't expect the 25oz to feel this comfortable. It's really smooth and soft, maybe not so breathable. I had no problems buttoning it up. It took half an our to button up my 666-UHR and I haven't dared to open the two bottom buttons since 

Sorry, the pictures are beyond crap but it's really hard to photograph black jeans without proper lightning.

Thanks!

The softness of the denim is probably a result of the overdying. Indigo XHS is not soft at all at the start.

I think it's a decent fit. The 634 is a roomier cut than the 666. How is the waistband? If it's tight now at the start then that is the right size. If it is comfortable in the beginning then size down because there will be stretch.

@funkboss they look dead perfect. Everyone has third own taste, some like skinny, some like baggy. I used to do skinny jeans years ago. Once I got into raw denim, that was done…ha. I now prefer straight or straight with a taper. I prefer a tailored look if you will, just nicely outlining a person's lower "figure". Also having the perfect space in all areas, or slightly more, is nice for me in hot weather, little more air, not so much as sweaty....so I can wear my IH longer.

Like I said, in my eyes, spot on. This fabric is amazing, I can't imagine how rough the reg 25 is....holy....

Thanks @neph93 and @Jordonf9

Waistband is not tight and that is my concern right now. I'm thinking of sizing down but I'm not sure yet. I have a feeling that really fitted top block would look odd with roomier legs.

@funkboss Why dont we send you a 33, then you can compare and send back the one you don't like?
Email me/PM and we can sort it out…

[funkboss]

@Alex

Yeah that sounds like a solution. PM'd!

[Jordonf9]

One bonus I noticed since I am going slightly bigger even with my IH, front pocket room….easier to access mostly. Some of the jeans I have sold could barely get in em....ha.

[Max Power]

Fit Looks great - I would not size up unless they feel really loose.

@Alex

I think that's a good move. There is no shrinkage so the waist band will get bigger after a few weeks wear.

Since this is now listed as "endangered", is there any chance Haraki-san will plan a 666 model in the pipeline Giles?

[Giles]

Haraki won't do either.  I tried to drum up retailer interest for a rerun of the 634 and a new run of the 666 and got feck all interest…..
