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

Those wearing both the IH-634-XHS, and, the 634-S (21 oz), do you wear the same size in each? Size down, or up in the 'XHS'?

Tag size is a poor guide.
Assuming you have a worn pair of 634s, measure them and compare with the XHS.
When soaked and stretched through wear the XHS will end up about half an inch over published measurements. So you need a pair with starting measurements half an inch smaller than your worn 634s.

Hey @Garrow
I wear a tagged 33" in the XHS and tagged 34" in the 21oz. The batches change in sizing minimally with each run and the averaged out measurements are on the site. I'd suggest doing a side-by-side comparison of the two models to see how they stack up. I buy for thigh size while others are more concerned about other specs. -

I keep a "tight" pair and "loose" pair of both. The tighter pair stretches in the waist as we would expect but looks a bit slimmer through the knee–-a look my wife prefers. But basically I do wear the same size in each.. If you're wondering about those bruises on the your thumbs trying to get the 25 closed, that's normal. And in my experience, the 21 stretches a lot more than the 25 even after both are well worn in---and they go "back" after a wash.

Same size for me. There’s a bit of shrink, but you’ll end up beyond pre-shrink measurements, and probably not that fair past 21oz post-stretch measurements

Thanks all, very helpful. Neph, thanks for the info re stretch on the XHS. I'll measure out my 634S and do the comparison.
-
What's it look like for a restock on these? Anytime soon? No rush just curious.
-
Radical — thank you sir!
EDIT: figured while I'm here I might ask a question, @Alex. I know the 634 run a little more comfortable in the top block than the 666, but I've always wondered — are there any specific measurements that will give a good idea of the room in the top block? Maybe this is obvious, but does the 634 get a bit of that from what looks like on average about an extra inch in the thigh?
-
Cool! I think I might flip my 666-XHS if I can and opt for some of these, as the formers leave me wanting a little extra room. Cheers.

Just about to send my beauts off for some TLC at SESF
Consistently the first IH item I reach for. These have been such a joy to wear over the years! Stoked for when you get some, @popvulture. I dig the 634 cut (21oz & 25oz alike) and it's a welcome change from my beginnings (IH-301S & IH-666S). I liked those but now I prefer more circulation to my extremities
-
Can’t wait to try em! I could definitely go for a little extra circulation haha… my 666 XHS have just now broken in to be super comfy, but it definitely took a hot, uncomfortable minute
Those things look amazing though, man. I’ll be happy when my XHS gets to that level of wear. Some properly earned shit right there

The standard XHS is the same denim as the XHSib, with the exception of some black dye. It essentially behaves in the same way.
. I think he’s asking about 25 vs 21OZ. I have both and got the same size each time.

He is, but I’m referring to the same question on the XHSib thread, which I answered there.
