IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[kit99bar]

I took some measurements of my best fitting jeans (size 33 Samurai s0500) and here it is (carefully done the Ironheart way).  Do you think 31 634s can hit that thigh number?
waist: 32
thigh: 12.5
knee:  8.9
hem: 8.1

another question:
do the 31 and 32 really have the same knee and hem measurements?

Imo a tagged 31 in 634s should stretch to the actual measurements of your samurai's with no problemo!
From my research the actual sizing advice is to size one down on 634 cut so since these will also stretch i think you'll be fine when ordering a tagged 31!

And about the knee- and hem-meauserements i think the website is 100% right, and if not, there's so little differences when it comes to measuring cuz actually no pair measures the same even if it's same tagged size!
So sometimes the measurements on your ordered 31 could differ from the measurements on a tagged 31 from the homepage cuz like i've said…NO! pair is like the other one in same size!

Finn, go to the top of the sizing advice class….............

I'd go for 32. They will stretch some, but only what is needed. I'd say there isn't going to be "overstretching"

More educated can chime in now. 

edit: I'm especially looking at your thigh measurement…

[Finn666]

^thighs can/will stretch as well…just do some quats, ride your bike or any other ish to let them suckers stretch

a fitpic of your S0500XX wouldn't hurt as well so we can see how tight/loose these are fitting...

[Blackheart]

All 4 pairs of my IH's have stretched at least, if not more, than an inch in the waist. Thighs in my 301's have
stretched more than an inch, start snug and they'll be perfect after a couple weeks and squats like Finn said.

[injunjack]

well, me thinks I have a bit different philosophy here…But what ever suits you.
'Cause the way I see it, if your jeans stretch one inch, you have bought wrong size jeans.
Maybe it's just me whose wrong, I dunno.

[Blackheart]

Makes sense IJ, thing is denim stretches, it's cotton and it's supposed to be washed and dried to snug it back
up again. That's something we shy away from here since we want to create our own crease lines and evo before
that first soak or wash, therefore our jeans stay stretched out and looser.
After that first wash/dry we're back in business for while, that's the beauty of denim.

Saggy when new or after the first wash? Someone didn't do the math…

[Giles]

To expand.  Denim is a twill weave.  It is impossible to make a twill that does not stretch, it is the very nature of the weave.  It is this characteristic that allows a twill (in this case denim) to drape well and form to a persons unique shape….

i tend to think the same way as you injunjack. it only stretch when pressure is applied so assuming it fit snug it will stretch to comfit if it fit tight it will stretch alot.

[mankarat]

Its a must have jeans for IH lovers..

[Blackheart]

Definitely G, if they didn't stretch and form your shape I dare say all of you IH jeans wearers wouldn't look so
damn good…

I though jeans are supposed to be washed 'cause they are dirty, LOL.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

btw, next weekend, 3 weeks continuous wear of my 634S (except in the evenings, I'm not allowed to our cream colored leather sofa's), these will hit water, hottish soak/handwash will occur. 'Cause I think these start to stink, even though they were out last night 12 hours, in -6°C.

not sure if this belongs here, but - technically speaking - it a IH-635S.

I went shopping in HK the other day…

maybe it needs a separate thread?

[ronaldlsh]

Love the red…..

[Beatle]

feel free to start it - but make sure you post updates..u might be the only one with this particular collab

[Giles]

You sure its a 634s lookalike, that denim looks like the 634 denim…...

[kit99bar]

I was on the border between 31 and 32 due to the thigh sizes so I ended up getting a pair of almost new SRs (slightly bigger thighs!) in a 31 from someone on this board.  Super excited to get my first pair of Iron Hearts.  Will post pics in the SR thread later this week I hope!

[Blackheart]

Good deal Kit, looking forward to the SR pics…Congrats on your first pair!
