IH-634S-21BLK - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Black/Beige

Those are unfortunately narrower than the 634S in the thigh & knees… Not sure it will work for me... Super bummed about that. 

[Alex]

Aside from the fact that they are unwashed, they are wider in the two tag sizes I glanced at which I think you sit in the region of? You won't lose all that much through the leg, I wouldn't have thought. Tomorrows shrink test will reveal that for sure

[JDelage]

The W34 634S is 13.3 in the thighs and 9.5 in the knees for a 34 waist. This one is 12.8 and 9.4 for a 34.5 waist (W33). Am I missing something?

[Alex]

Only that the waist will likely shrink more than the other measurements, so if you stay on the same tag size and wash you would end up with a similar leg (i suspect). Like I say, until we have shrink test results, we won't know for sure.

[JDelage]

We'll see. These are going to make plenty of people happy I expect.

[Sam]

Shrink test results on a tag 34, 40 degrees and no spin.

[Finkster]

Not bad .. the shrink test results give me some hope back … a 60°C treatment could be a solution.  ::)

Really interested in the color of these but the shrink test scares me a bit, especially in the thigh reduction.

@neph93 : curious as to how much these stretched back out after washing?

[neph93]

It behaves very much like regular 21oz so there is stretch. They will go back to pre soak size at the least.

[Ponyboy312]

Just ordered these. Should I give a pair of these in size 34s an extra 1.5 inches or 2 inches at the hem for shrink purposes?

[neph93]

Should be good with 1.5”.

[JDelage]

I'm going to try a size 34. If I can shrink the waist and keep the thigh & knee measurements pretty close to what they are, it should work. Really excited about the fabric…

I think you’ll enjoy it. I’m also confident that any initial shrinkage will be regained in fairly short order.

IHUK have decent stock levels so asking them to source a larger pair of W34 may well be an option.

[JDelage]

I did write in the note section that if they could find one with bigger thighs & knees, that would be great.

thanks @neph93
