IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I never posted any pics of my 634-XHS, size 33, from the DWC tux division. About 18+ months of wear, 20+ washes. I didn't follow the rules of posting monthly updates, so I suppose I was disqualified. I had RCFG taper them to 8.25" hem, and cut to 34" length. The did shrink quite a bit from new, and they were just too tight for me to deal with any longer. Now retired.
XHS is till my favorite IH denim, perhaps my favorite denim of all. I've stated it before, and I'll do so again: I'd love to see the 634-XHS details updated as per other 634 models, with double selvedge fly, tucked belt loops, lined rear pockets, and particularly the heaving gauge stitching that has been used in some areas. This denim deserves the extra attention to the finer details.
And just for reference, a fit when brand new:

Some fit pics for us, @Filthy??
Sorry it took me so long… been working 90 hours or so a week. These are the best I can do. They are nice and baggy like I wanted. Kudos to @swiss-jeansfreak for suggesting sizing up. No matter what I'm not going to wash these this time. (Unless I have a food predicament or I poop my pants). I have enough pairs now I can let these chill until they don't stink if they end up stinky.
P.S. if you are reading this and you don't have an Iron Heart IHG-20 wallet chain… you should get one. It's the best wallet chain ever! -

Anyone have any experience getting the leg below the knee tapered on this cut? I had to get the 634 because it's the only jean I could find with a 33" waist, 13" thigh and a 36+" inseam. I love my XHS, but I think I'd like a smaller leg opening and less baggy below the knee look.
I have a reputable denim tailor (Railcar fine goods) that will do the work. I'm worried about how the extra heavy duty will react to a taper.
Also, these jeans of mine are pretty new; one soak and about 6 days of wear so far. Should I get them altered now or wait until they are a little more broken in?

@cbnewman
I got my pronto double indigo 25oz tapered by rail car knee and below and it worked greet . I also reduce the leg opening and the job well done by rail car .
XHS doesn’t react at all. It looks all natural like it was tailored tapered by iron heartSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had my 634DD tapered by RCFG and my 666xhs done by a local tailor who had worked with SE PDX quite a bit. Both pair turned out great
