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

[Manticore]

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.

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”.

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.

Always been true for me.

Not according to your wife…

Order placed for a tag 34 and asked for the largest thigh measurement to ideally offset shrink. Odd in that I wasn't able to select any hemming options during checkout so put it in the notes. Any one else have that issue?

[Giles]

Thank you. Missed putting the hemming code into the product, now fixed

[Manticore]

No joy for me on these… Sam confirmed that the largest thigh on the tag 34 was a 13 (rather than 13.4 on chart) so too snug for me. Unfortunate since I really like this colorway.

I bought these but would have preferred more thigh. I just hope they turn out right after soaking.

[Ponyboy312]

Rougher hand than the indigo original right out of the bag. I hope they soften up significantly with wear. Love the color.

[neph93]

^ they do.

[JDelage]

I’m able to make them work on my thighs. They’re just on the wrong side of snug, but they’re going to be perfect in a week.

In related news, I wasn’t able to squat my normal set & weight today…

I do believe you're right, they look good now…..

I must withdraw all my formerly 'scepticism' about this denim goddess. 
I'm very satisfied with this purchase - fabric, look and all the details are feckin awesome! – Highly recommended
.. and with a moderate 40°C wash, I was able to reduce the hem measurements to 8.5 ! (Tag 33) 

Sorry - no fit pics (currently)

[neph93]

Great news @Finkster  @JDelage  I think that’s a terrific post soak fit.  Well done both of you.
