IH-634S-A - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans (20th Anniversary Edition)
-
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

@EdH:
I got an extra half inch out of the thigh measurement on my 21oz 888s
@EdH Interesting as I size by thigh measurement and use a belt. I also suffer from calf size issues - would you comment on the calves between 888 and 634 for the same tag size, please. I do have 888s, but now I am strongly considering 634s.

It's just a personal opinion, but I think straight cuts are the jam. For me, it's all in the cuff. I think they look fine uncuffed, but in my eyes, cuffs give em that classic look. I also feel they look best when cuffed to a length that lets em hang straight with no break. With that in mind, footwear comes into play a lot. I think they look best with boots.
Alright I'll quit yammering but viva straightlegs and I see no reason why you couldn't rock em @mclaincausey
-
straight cut vs slimmer cut also depends a lot on the shirt or top you're wearing. If it looks too big and loose on you, try a looser fitting tee and see where that gets ya. (assuming the size and fit of the jeans are correct)
-
Fit really is in the eye of the wearer. I have seen so many people of very similar build say of the same cut "best cut I've ever had", "just does not work for me", does not suit my build" etc etc. It's a personal thing, and what "the cut just does work for me" really means "I personally don't like me in it".
