IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut
-
I keep repeating myself, but heck: these are the best pants in the history of mankind.

Just beautiful jeans @poweramper thanks for posting

I have several of these archived in a couple of sizes and was pulling them out today in expectation of hemming.
Looks like about 2 inches of shrinkage from raw state for these, starting with a 37.5 inseam. Quite a lot.
Not a shit ton of skew really so wondering if there’s more shrinkage left.

Disclaimer:However, I didn’t measure or compare the soaked pair when I got it so if it was longer or shorter from the factory, the above post doesn’t mean shit.
Devil’s in the details….

I have had two pairs of SRs and the leg twists a Decent amount…
If the hems are not twisted, there is more shrink available.

Yeah, thanks all. These are tricky. I’m 3 hot soaks in and there’s a lot of length gone but no puckering much on the hem and the seams still seem mostly straight.
My instinct right now is to just put a cuff in and go with it without any hemming to fit, or just hem the knowing they’ll be over and cuff whatever is left.
Anything but winding up short is goal.
Cool pic after soak.

This is basically the UHR, right? I love that you have stocked pairs. Forward thinking at its best.
Not sure but probably very close. It was the second generation annies.

I have these in the Japanese version which came in a 34” inseam and the leg twist is considerable. I hot machine washed them and air dried. If you want twist and max shrinkage that’s what works for me.
I have 4 pairs of these in 34 and 36.
Two starting rotation, the other two I’ll save.
I think the 36s I’m gonna shrink fully and cuff them and use that pair to base my decision on the others. Thanks for your help.

I had my very first pair of IH, my 666 25 oz hemmed and have always regretted it. I prefer the versatility of length, cuffing or stacking. Plus the hem isn’t quite the same even from a Union Special in my opinion. Obviously this is a matter of personal taste but even at 5’9” the standard IHUK length of 37ish has always worked for me.

Zhivago was saying the same thing last night.
So many solid ruminations derive from the hems of the SRs…
Good circumspect thoughts all ‘round.

Big ass heavy thick cuffs do look good. I like this method of the double with exposed hem a lot.

@7tacos it’s a little warm today and tomorrow’s a moving day so updated fit pics may have to wait a couple days.
Waist 34”
Inseam 34.25”
Thigh 13.25Here’s some fat cuffed 36s. Not much skew on mine for whatever reason. 3 soaks, one hot wash on delicate and about 10 minutes in a dryer. Something about 34.5 in the inseam. Still quite stiff.

I feel like some 888s are in my future. Anyone have these both? Seem pretty comparable with the exception of the rise and a bit of taper.
