IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@goosehd how do I find a good/reliable repair shop? I love the cuffed look, but they do seem to fray much quicker than hemmed jeans - but if that’s easily repairable, I’m all about cuffin.
I’m in Boulder, CO if anyone knows a local place.

Although I’m embracing the indigo fades from our Canadian winter, I want a pristine pair with no “snowflake fades” lol

@cityofdelusion said in IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:
The W32 looks better on you. I like the silhouette of it a lot more than the W31. As someone who wears and loves the 634S fits, I personally think that it shouldn't fit (too) slim but rather loose and relaxed. There are better (and more) options if you wanted a slimmer pair of jeans. Everyone has their own preference on that though…
I also agree with what @going_to_battle says - I also have settled for tighter pairs and have regretted it down the road as, yes, the waist stretched to the point where I was okay with it but the rest didn't feel as comfortable in proportion.
I've listened too many times to people telling me to size down and go with the slimmer fitting jeans, that they'd stretch to the point where I'd feel good. Never was the case. With my current 634S I chose to go true-to-size/ a size up from what people would've told me to go with and I'm absolutely satisfied after almost a year in them.
TL;DR: If you want a slimmer look go with the W31, if you want a loose and relaxed fit go with the W32. Choose whatever you feel the most comfortable in.
I realize this is an old post but I felt it’s worth a bump, and a few of my thoughts.
I’ve read through this entire thread, and the above post is where I land on sizing.
Respecting of course, that every wearer is different. I have had the exact same experience in terms of sizing and stretch. I didn’t seem to get any waist stretch whatsoever when I buy these jeans true to size.
I guess maybe because I’m a bit older, lazier, (insert other adjectives here), but why would I want to try and “stretch” the waist into a comfortable size, when I can just buy them to a comfortable size to begin with?
In my mind, stretching the denim puts the material, seams and stitching under undo stress.
Also as for sizing, I find the IH charts to be incredibly helpful. The one caveat I would mention, is that if you’re measuring a pair of jeans that fit you comfortably so as to compare them to the size chart to select your fit … consider if the jeans you are measuring have any Lycra or “stretch fabric” in them. They might measure to a certain size, but when you wear them, they might stretch out to a bigger size. This is what I found with my first pair of IH denim compared to the Diesel jeans I used to wear.

Not alway the case. Should you go true to size, size down or size up.

The one issue with getting them to fit comfortably out of the box is that they will still stretch. I can personally attest to this (made the mistake once - 20 years ago :-)), as can many others...I would always advocate getting a pair that fit tight.....

@Brandrea For what my two cents is worth, my first IH jeans were a pair of 555 slub in waist 36.. tried them on at Rivet & Hide and they felt fantastic, so comfy straight out of the bag. Then they stretched.. and stretched some more. After about 45 wears and some nice fades starting to appear I realised that they were in fact too big for me and had to sell them. My next pairs have all been waist 34 and have started out almost comically tight, but all have shaped to my body with time and wear and are now the best fitting jeans I’ve ever owned in my life.. if it’s not a battle to fasten that top button the first time round they are going to end up too big (for me anyway)

@Kasi agreed, I did say every wearer is different.
In my case, I have not noticed any stretch in the 6 pairs of IH denim that I own. The 634s being the ones that I wear most.
Just sharing my personal experience with the group.:)
