IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans

[T4920]

@jerkules I have to resist to urge to buy a pair of these in 666 every single day to ensure my SBGs get the wear they deserve before I move on to a new project! I consider it an exercise in self-control and delayed gratification...

self-control and delayed gratification...

Sorry I don't understand...

Seriously though, it's good to do this if you have the control. I kinda exercise a one-in, one-out policy for shirts as I have "enough". For trousers I generally own one indigo, one black, one chino and one cargo at any given time. If there's something I really want to try, I shift something else first. I sold my slubs to grab these.

@jerkules My shirt collection is just one (or two) shirts away from being enough, it's been that way for about 10 shirts now...

I have plenty of indigo jeans on deck, but no IHs... and it's hard to go back to other cuts now I've found the 666s.

@jerkules Feel like you've gotten the normal amount of stretch on these? Saw your recent WDYWT pics and they look great.

I got my usual size 36 on sale and I can't decide if they're a bit too snug or I'm just not used to the rigidity! They fully button, but I'm on day 3 and the waist isn't terribly comfortable- it's been a while since I really felt like I needed to break in a pair of jeans.

@october-rust thanks, I’m really pleased with this pair!

i’m pretty sure I got the reported 1 inch stretch, but haven’t checked by measuring yet. They we’re definitely hard going for a few days and the rigidity definitely gave them a more snug feeling. I grabbed a tag 34 which came with a 33.5 inch waist, which is definitely on the tighter side for me. They are very comfortable now, but have retained their rigidity.

I’m away from home right now, but when I return I’ll measure and report back the stretch I achieved.

[october rust]

@jerkules don’t worry! In the last couple days they definitely got more comfortable. I didn’t get measurements of my pair before wearing them but they’ve for sure stretched in the waist which was all I needed.

[jerkules]

@october-rust that’s great to hear! I defo had a few days of worrying that my pair were too tight at first. Glad you've got what you wanted. The denim is great, no? I think my fav IH fabric that I’ve tried yet.

@jerkules I'm partial to the 18oz vintage but give me a few weeks to break these in! I will say it seems like they'll be fast faders- even in just a handful of days I can see the electric blue whiskers peaking through in the sunlight.

Nearing 100 wear days.

The denim is still really rigid, but in a nice way, like it has articulated joints around the knees and thighs. They’re totally comfortable despite the rigidity, and I’ve been wearing them through the UK summer and feel totally fine in temperatures around 25•C. I suspect the 634 cut is a key factor for the comfort.

If I had to chose my favourite jeans I’ve ever owned, these would be them.

Best fabric

@jerkules those, my friend, are looking most excellent. I do not own this denim and I need another pair like a hole in my head but damn. You can see what’s down the road with these for sure.
