IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
They look great @LibagBall0105 but most important is that you like them. 634 is just a brilliant cut. Harakis masterpiece.
-
@LibagBall0105 the fit is good, if it were me I would do a hot soak with lots of agitation to take care of potential shrinkage and then get them hemmed for a single cuff or no cuff.

@LibagBall0105 moved to the correct thread.
-
@LibagBall0105 it wouldn’t hurt but the 21oz denim is sanforized and one washed so you’d only get a minimal
amount of shrinkage. Maybe .25-.5 inch.You’re probably safe just getting them hemmed to whatever length you prefer as is.

Went with my true waist of 30 same as my 634Z.
Hope they loosen up well, not sure…I didn’t want to size up on waist as I didn’t want the waist to stretch even more.. fabric feels nice, maybe they’ll be ok in a week??
Maybe I should have gone with a bit of my hip measurement instead and the 31 or 32 would have been better..
-
@cherniy for future reference, always go with garment measurements and compare to measurements of garments you own. You’ll likely find that your 634Z had bigger starting measurements than you new pair.
They will stretch in the waist 1-1.5”. The top block and thigh look tight and they won’t so much stretch as loosen up. So after that it is personal preference and levels of tolerance for discomfort.
At 50 I can’t be bothered with discomfort anymore
-
@neph93 yeah I reckon I should have taken into account that my well fitting 3sixteen jeans have a higher rise so the measurements to the 634s aren’t a good comparison. I’ve obviously got wider hips heh
-
I agree with neph93. Hips and upper thigh look a bit tide. I think tag 31 maybe a better option but again it all depends on your tolerance level.
-
Yes, I suppose if I were to do it again, I'd go with a 31 or 32.
-
I've got a pair of 888-21s in 34 and was thinking about picking up a pair of 634 for that straight legged vibe. Any advice on what size to get in comparison with the 888? My only concern is the thigh measurement because I don't really want the hips any tighter than the 888s are. Anyone have any experience buying both?
-
@dkowa The best thing to do is to email the guys at IHUK and ask for help: shop@ironheart.co.uk
They will be able to guide your journey between the different fits and help you decide on the cut that will work best for you.
-
@dkowa I've had both and they are quite different, especially in the top block. The 634 sits a lot lower, under the waist and on the hips. So the fit around the waist, hips an ass will be different regardless. But this really depends on your body type.
Same size or size up for a more relaxed fit, I'd say. But like @goosehd says, discuss it with the gents in Gosport.
-
@Dkowa in my humble opinion i will go with the same tag size assuming that your 888's fit well. I wear tag 36 on both. The hip never felt tighter to me on the 634 vs the 888 and the slight difference in the upper thigh measurement will be compensated by the wider measurement of the 634 at around 5 to 6 inches from the crotch and by the time you get to the knee the 634 os more generous...
-
ya, the shop gave me the same advice, either same size or size up should be good. My 888s are great in the waist but kinda a bit tight in the thigh, but that could be due to the taper to the knee. Lifting weights has made it a bit of a challenge to get jeans to fit in both the thigh and the waist, usually I have to pick one or the other.
-
@dkowa it’s weird because over-eating will do the same
Joking aside this is not an uncommon issue. And tapering is often the issue. There can be a big difference in a jeans dims between crotch and knee, but squats and deadlifts will even out that difference on your actual legs.
Same size should do you just fine.
-
We have something in common. I am a weightlifter also. From my experience its easier for me to size up on the 888's than on 634, unless you are cool with baggy. I don't lose the leg on the 888's when i size up because of the taper but the 634' become too relaxed quickly. If you like relaxed it can work for you. For reference im 182cm tall and 109kg in weight
-
@yannis ah cool, ya, I've had that issue with other jeans. Sizing up often just means that the waist ends up being way too big once everything has loosened up. As long as the 634 isn't secretly a slim fit, the same size should be right.
-
Its definitely not a secretly slim fit. The 666 is the slim straight. I think if your 888's fit the way you like them the 634 same tag will be the way to go.
-
OK, the 32 in the 634S is much better (also got a pair of the 634-WT) . Waist is a bit bigger than I want, but anything smaller the thighs would be too tight.
I'd like to get them hemmed, how much shrinkage is expected after the first few washes? I'd like to plan for that..
