IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Got these off @Sirihc in January. Had them tapered and put them to work. Gave them a soak last weekend.
-
Looking fantastic @spitfiredealer !
-
All this 634 tapering is kind of a waste IMO. I would rather buy the cut that works best and start from there.

634 has the best top block IMO, leg opening is just too wide for me. £30 for a taper and I got a great fitting jean. No brainer

This is a tricky discussion. I agree with @spitfiredealer that the 634 top block is brilliant. The one time I had a pair tapered I was far from satisfied with the result. It wasn’t a bad job per se, it just wasn’t a pair of IH anymore and they fell strangely too. It also cost a lot more than £30. So for my part I’m inclined to agree with @Anesthetist
I’ll add that a lot of jeans I’ve seen around the interwebz with aftermarket tapering end up looking weird in terms of silhouette and the way they drape.

Hey Giles, I just need to make my final decision about the size for the 634S.
I own a pair of 555-01 tag size 32 and here are the - 4 months of wear - measurements:
Waist 17.5
Front rise 10.5
Rear rise 16
Thigh 12.25
Knee 8
Hem 7I love the look of this mode (555)l but I do have a hard time for example, getting in the car or going up the stairs two steps at a time. My knees and thighs are a bit restricted.
I would like to order a pair of the 634S but I don’t want them to be too loose. Reading in some posts that they can stretch 2” at the waist, should I get 33?
Thanks

Much better to send specific questions like this into shop@ironheart.co.uk. Then the customer service team can look after you properly. Measure specific jeans etc….

Also, I would seriously consider the 888 cut as a halfway between the slim taper of the 555 and the relaxed, straight cut of the 634.
Yep…agree. I usually do wear 634. I think there is a huge difference between 634 and 555. 634 is a true old school straight cut, no taper, 555 is a modern (very) slim cut. If you need more room around the tights but want a narrow hem I would give the 888 a try.

I dont have much more to add except I agree with these gents about the 888. I own 2 634 cuts and have owned a 555 cut and they are pretty much polar opposites. Both great in their own ways but going from one to the other is a huge jump. But….If you are looking for a straight leg than look no further than the 634. It’s a pretty great cut.
The 888 is pretty versatile in that you can change the look by how you size them. I went TTS and they are a slim but very comfortable pair but next time I want to size down for a more modern look but with the 888 taper and rise v the 777.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I do want the 634S but I just don’t want to order the wrong size. I saw some post where some buyers wanted to go down a size because they were to big in the top block.
If I go with the 888 cut, I would be going to another slim cut and what I want is opposite to the 555 so I can have different cut for different situations.
Thanks

The 888 is not a slim cut. It is tapered but much wider in the leg than a 555
All jeans will stretch at the waist. Normally about 1”. The 21oz stretches quicker than most and sometimes more.
Measure a pair that you own, that fit well and are worn. Take that waist measurement subtract 1” -1.5”. The result is more or less the waist measurement of your new pair.

Potentially a crazy question, but has anyone ever had these chopped to shorts? If not, does anyone see any issues with shorts in this weight denim?

Cheers @neph93 - there's a pair in the outlet that are too short for me, and the shorts I wanted are out of stock in my size, so I started having ideas
