IH-634S-A - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans (20th Anniversary Edition)
-
They are not tight. They will loosen up nicely. Just wear them alot. I think if you went bigger, they would of ended up too loose after some wears.
-
Top block looks on the trim side, but if this is the first wear, the waist will stretch meaningfully, and everything else will loosen.
Agree with trim.
Areas under stress will stretch.
Crotch to waistband is not one of these areas. If I understand you correctly that is where you need more give. Circumference at crotch level will stretch less than waist, but you get a spanner down there and stretch that area when jeans are wet.
Good Luck.

Also agree with all of this, but in my experience everything loosens up a little with wear and the whole top block gets a lot of action (pardon me), through bending, walking, twisting turning etc. If it was UHR or the like I’d be more sceptical but the 21oz loosens everywhere and quickly.
I like the spanner idea. The image made me giggle too.
-
the 21oz denim is more forgiving than it looks. I got an extra half inch out of the thigh measurement on my 21oz 888s, so I think you'll be able to work with the size. Do some deep squats and lunges in the jeans, sit in a chair for a while, and you should loosen up the top block nicely.

I’m hoping once the waist stretches they will sit lower and the crotch will get more room.

They will… I went very tight with this pair and it relaxed nicely after a few wears
-
They will stretch mate, waist and hips and give you the room you need. Just wear them as often as possible.

I am wearing mine for the first time and coming from the 888, the top block is a bit slimmer which is a detail I forgot about.
Overall, I havent felt like this since the first pair I bought, the 21 oz DC4001. Besides the obvious differences the 634A reminds me of them….crispy fresh 21oz denim, the snug waist band, and the air of something special about them. It really has me feeling nostalgic [emoji3]

perfect @Anesthetist how does it feel?

They look great @Anesthetist

Thank you gents, I’m really pleased with them. My go pairs have been my NoLot and pronto slubs (888) and compared to those pairs, the block is slimmer and the leg is fuller. Just getting used to a straight leg again but loving them more by the minute.
They are a welcome addition to the closet and my growing 634 collection (14oz OD & non selvedge 10th anniversary). I cant believe it took me this long to get a 634s but the extra details made it impossible to wait any longer.

I know how you feel. Picked up my first pair of 634s aftermarket about 8 months ago. 634 4LYFE now [emoji38]

@neph93 Funny you say that…I started with 634's thinking it would be the only cut that I could wear comfortably until the one day I tried a pair of 666's. Fell in love with them and wear them for months on end...Throw the 666's in the wash and pick up a pair of 634's and can't believe I haven't been wearing them for the last few months.
I keep going back and forth between them...now about the Beatle Busters...
-
I love the 666, when an iteration fits me. Generally the waist/thigh ratio doesn’t work, but now and again I hit the jackpot (IH-666L-19 and IH-666-UHR so far). The BB’s were great. Still have a pair in SBG that I adore but they need repairs. I’m feeling better but not sure I’m up to denim repairs just yet [emoji38]
-
I so want these based on the details but just don't think straight cuts are flattering on me.
-
I thought the same until I tried them on
