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

You already got your answer re size 36.
Do not base anything on Brave Star size charts as they are notorious for their inconsistency (size, quality, etc) - absolutely measure them for actual size and read the IH "how we measure" to compare.
Also, going by length and weight alone is only a rough approximation with +/- 2 waist sizes.
Again, take a pair of good fitting pants and measure them the IH way. Then go to the IH sizing charts.
Do not skip this. Do not just measure waist. Do as recommended. IH put a lot of effort into this stuff. Use it.Thanks for this too. It sounds like the average pair will stretch about an inch in the waist. I'm assuming the more strain it's under, the more stretch you'll get. So like I said, 17.25 to 17.5 (the IH way) is about the right fit for me once everything has been broken in. I know I need to consider rise, thighs, etc., as well, but I want to at least make sure that part is right. So I'll probably looking for 17 new or 17.5 if it's got some wears on it already, and see how it goes from there.
Thanks again.

That's exactly what it says on the product page

Up to a point…...

Just picked up my first pair of Iron Hearts. Really liking them so far. I had them send me essentially 1 of each fit and added the 634s in 21oz at the last minute, thinking that I wouldn't like them but I might as well give them a try. I'm really glad that I did because the others are all going back and the 634s are keepers. I'm excited to see how they fade over the next couple of years.

Congratulations. And they look great on you. Nice that the OG model still turns heads.

They look superb @TexasCrane The 634 is also my favourite cut and was my first IH piece. Enjoy!

Day one for the 634S, I sized down to 32 from my normal 33 and I think I made the right choice. My first pair of straight up 21oz IH denim, I've had 25, 17N, 14 and 21 overdyed but never the classic 21. I am quite pleased with the fit and feel.
Apologies for the dirty mirror -
Looks great. I’m partial to 634. Only cut I own.

@moto of all the denims you listed be also worn them all and more, and I can honestly say while I love each fabric, my favorite pair are my 11 year old 21z Beatle Busters. IMO they haven’t come up with anything better. I started with 25 so I can’t even say it’s because they were my first. They feel so soft when broken.

@jerkules thanks dude! Day 2 feeling even better and they are molding and stretching perfectly. I'm super happy with the fit and glad I sized down to achieve a trimmer silhouette. I think I'll be neglecting my 777's for a while …

day 1 from 3/1 for posterity

I'm looking for some suggestions. My exact waist size is around 80cm and the tag size 31 is the closest at 78.7cm. Going by the description, this should stretch by an inch after wear so that would mean that it would be around 80.2 something, which will be perfect for me. Is this correct?

I would say your logic is sound, but the best thing to do is contact the IH Crew at shop@ironheart.co.uk

Guys, please help me make my final choice - tag 33 or 34. First time buying Iron Heart Jeans.
I am 185 cm (6ft2“) and 82-83kg (180-183 lbs). My waist is 33“. My thighs are not big, I used to be a skinny guy and my legs are not big and muscular.
I see that Giles went for tag 34 size for these and I have similar measures like him, but I just don’t want my jeans to look baggy so I will appreciate your thoughts and recommendations. -
Did you compare the measurements on the product page to pants that fit you well now? Those numbers would be more helpful for everyone but without those the 34s seem like they'd be too big if your waist is 33. These won't shrink beyond where they are when new and will generously stretch out at least an inch in the waist when put under pressure.
Also, if you have slim thighs and legs and want a non loose looking fit but still a straight leg, check out the 666. Those could be better, but trust the measurements.

@pechelman , yes I did. And one of the reasons I am still not sure is exactly this. If I follow my experience with other jeans and pants, I should go for tag 33. the thing here is that I saw that both guys cited for reference on the product page (Giles being one of them) opted for tag 34 sizing. I also read that probably I will get 1“ of stretch with wearing or gentle „forced“ stretch pressure.
And thanks for the 666 advice. I find it really challenging to choose fit and size. I started with the idea that I will get 777s but the low rise of the 777s is really a no-go for me. I have also considered 666s but currently they are out of stock on my size and at the same time I believe 634s will be really good choice (I have seen thousands of photos of them on social media, here in the forum and with some Googling) -
Fwiw, most of my IHs are 666 tag 34s that fit very comfortable and my true waist is something like 37" so definitely don't place much value in sizing that way. I recently tried on a new pair of these 634-21s in tag 33. They were snug in the waist but probably about right. They didn't have 34 to try. Overall the rise sat too low for me despite having nearly the same numbers as 666 and they didn't really look that much different in silhouette than the 666uhrs I had on by chance so I didn't get them. Like you I can't do the true 777s because of the rise but the 721 chinos are great, if not even a little higher than I'd like. Hopefully something here helps.

Thanks a lot @pechelman. I really appreciate the information you shared.
I will probably go for tag 33 size.
