IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@Chap. I hope more people get to like cuts like the 634. There is a timeless quality about it, not trendy. Tbey have a serious presence about them. I find myself wearing my 888's for a week and then putting my 634's on, feeling like how can i wear anything else. The only other cut that i would love to wear but cannot do the way i am build is the 666.

yes @yannis 666 is a great cut too, love to wear one from time to time but same with me, too snug around hip and thighs to be called comfortable

Just under a year into these, so thought I'd share a little update. Sadly these are going into retirement as they accidentally lost 5 inches ??? Don't ask, just know that the legends at IH have been brilliant as ever and made it right. Not sure what to do with them now, I may be persuaded to give them away to someone looking to get into the brand but a bit nervous about dropping the £££ (send me a message if you're lurking and this describes you, and a 30" inseam would work for you), though I'm a little sentimental about them as they were my first pair of IH so they may end up framed on the wall (subject to my other half telling me that trousers do not belong on the wall).

Well, I would be happy to tell your better half that they do in fact belong on the wall. Then you can tell my better half why I need more IH gear…

@henry_david ha it's worth a try. I will eventually be building a man cave (big shed) to barbeque and drink beer in, so they'll find a home there if not before

Hi all,
I have in my possession my first IH 634-XHS! Ive worn for a couple days now and am looking to get the first wash out of the way. My only question seems to be regarding turning inside out. Does it really matter? Is it even possible with denim this heavy! -
@LewisStonehouse –you could always encase them in acrylic resin, then of course backlight them--and have them as an art piece in the man cave

Does it really matter? Is it even possible with denim this heavy!. I don’t have a problem turning my XHS inside out before I wash them,but can’t turn them back to right side until they’ve dried. I think the recommended procedure is to turn inside out,and to soak the with a shower head before putting them into a machine. Some use low or no spin,I don’t pay attention to that. If your concerned with shrinkage keep the water cold. If you don’t turn them inside out you run the risk of a white line down the leg. Good Luck!

Concur with all of the above, it's worth wrestling with them to get them inside out - you don't want to f*ck em up at the outset with weird streaks. I just turn them inside out, wash at 40 no spin, then hang them somewhere warm and well ventilated, making an effort to open the legs up so air can flow around well, then wrestle them back the right way out when they're dry. You'll maybe end up hiffing and puffing a bit and losing a bit of knuckle skin, but I've never had any dramas doing that

I’ll go a bit against the grain and say inside out has been meaningless for me. Machine washing has given me terrible results; inside out, pre soaked or not.
Hand washing is the way to go IMHO. Guaranteed results.
Here’s a pair of machined washed denim from tonight. Did my best to control marbling but this what usually happens for me:
