IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 I was worried the inseam shrank too much, but then I compared them to my unhemmed, turn-up cuffs and they were the same length. I like wearing mine high anyway, and they look nice with my Mr. Lous today. I need to take photos.

My pair of IH 634 21oz have become my favorite pair of jeans. The 25oz 634 intrigues me though. What are the main differences between the two? I would anticipate more heft and stiffness out of the box, but wondering more how they will wear over time. Should I order the same size in the 25oz as my 21oz? Thanks.

I would size them exactly the same. The 25oz its obviously heavier and sftiffer to begin with. There is a brake in period but eventually with wear they become very soft and pliable. It will be a great addition to your closet. Its a very nice fabric and i think you will enjoy it. Also its different enough so they will feel like a different pair of jeans from your 21oz.

Just 5 days and signs of shedding indigo.

@Oaktavia perfect my friend, with Mr Lou they are a dream, congratulations

I've been considering picking up a pair of these from a member here and sending them off for hemming to wear uncuffed.

My cuffed 555s come in at just under a 30 inch inseam, I was gonna get these taken down to 31 inches but the amount of shrinkage you got has me wondering if I should allow a little more length...

Edit; I could just wash them before hemming

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 they definitely shrunk to just where I usually wear my cuffs. I was not expecting as much but fortunately I still feel they worked out. If you want to play it safe, perhaps the extra inch will help you.

Love these jeans

[MassiveThighs]

Any idea how much it shrunk in the inseam? I got my pair hemmed but would like at least an inch of shrink. I haven’t soaked it yet

[yannis]

Usually an inch in the waist and inseam after a hot soak. Not an exact science. Some people get more some less.

[MassiveThighs]

That’s good to hear! After rolling the cuffs twice, I could use another inch or so on the inseam.

[yannis]

I assume you have been wearing them and haven't soaked them yet. If you wait too long the creases will shift after the soak. Just give them a good hot soak for about an hour and them turn the inside out and put them in the washing machine. Turn off the spin cycle if you have that feature. Then air dry them and wear the hell out of them.

Thank you, I have worn my pair for probably less than 2 hours or so.

[yannis]

No problem man. Nice jeans you go there. Enjoy them!

Plus they were unhemmed and I think 634 looks better hemmed. This is how they should fit. Turns out even though I'm 6'3" I have tiny legs as my inseam is 30".

Perfect.

Complete agree on 634 unhemmed. My main issue with hemming is that is designated failure point for ripping / tearing / wearing out.

Guess I should stop whining about 30" inseam while being 5'11.

[Oaktavia]

40 wears I am stoked on this pair.

@Oaktavia That electric blue

[dinobarnesberlin]

gotta agree-- I think the 634 cut is my new jam
