IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans
-
scrunch butt syndrome I believe they call it

Will the settle out with wear or is the top block on this pair to big? I don’t have this problem with the 666 cut so I was wondering if it’s that I need to size down or give the fabric time?
-
@bluemantra the 634 has a higher waist than the 666, however my pair did not shrink after a hot soak, as I mentioned it is different from the Lefty jacket

@bluemantra
When you scroll back in this thread, you’ll find fit pics of @jerkules , @yannis and @flannel-slut, and @dinobarnesberlin .
Would say this beautiful fabric needs some time to settle in the top block, but definitely will.
But as always, it is about your preferences.For example I have the 634 in 34,35 and 36 in different fabrics.
This 19L is a size 36 and if I’ll try to wear it like the others, they appear to big in the top block.
Loosening the belt looks way better…
But it is the most comfortable size in this cut.
Sitting and cycling feels perfect for me.
When Mike got my pair first, he immediately thought to size down (thought the same), but was happy with it in comparison.
Perhaps I’ll give them a hot wash sometimes.What a gorgeous fabric the 19L is…

@Aetas I own the 634 19L ver.2 and it has a very small upper block compared to your 634 19L, I got it at a discount some time ago and a size 29 compared to my usual 28 and it is perfect for my tastes (in fact it probably ended up in discount department because that lot had extremely smaller sizes than usual). Congratulations on your pair, I love it

The v2 19L was definitely small. I always wear tag36 on 634 and i had to get tag 38 on those. On the current run the sizes are pretty much consistent with the rest. The fabric is very stiff yo begin with but as @Aetas said it will settle beautifully in time.

Thank you. That was helpful. My 666 doesn’t have that V shaped front crumple for lack of a better description that this tag 31 634 19L has and I love the fabric, but wonder if the top block on this one just isn’t for me.

@bluemantra I’ve noticed that this tends to happen with a lot of regular straight cut jeans, I guess because of the extra room in the top block. I’ve generally found that sizing down fixes it, that is if the next size down doesn’t go too small for you (I’ve run into this with 634s and just had to wait for another run or just deal with the slightly bigger size until it forms some good creases).
If I’m not sure if the front is too big or it’s just my imagination, it’s usually helpful to check the back too. A too big fit makes the center bit where the yoke forms the V poke out in profile like a weird sort of triangle. I think if you see that, combined with the front bunching, the pair’s too big.
If it’s just the front, then likely that bunchy effect will chill once you get whiskers.

Sizing down definitely fixes it. It happens to me also when the waist is slightly big and inhave to crank the belt. That makes it even worse.
-
Oh yeah absolutely. If you need a belt, the jeans are too big. I like belts sometimes but only want them as an alternate style option.
-
@yannis That's what I'm going to do.

@Luijim78 even 634 suits you my friend~~

In daily use for the last 100 days, one wash by Mike and one by me.
Love everything about.
The IH-19Left Hand makes an unique sound whilst walking, fade potential is tremendous, the leg twist is far more than every other left hand I owned provided (and you can always see the selvedge on your right leg)!
The mentioned V-shape in the top block doesn’t bother me at all, but I would size one down from 36 to 35.If you’re new in this thread, this 19L is from the decedent forum member @Filthy2123ozjunkie. Was unsure if it is a bit spooky to wear, but as you forum guys donated this jeans to him at a time he was in a bad mental state, we can read what this gift of yours ment to him, when looking back.
Often found me in a nonverbal, literally and contemplative way communicating with Filthy about the state of this pant.Shure he would have an opinion about this 19L and loved to hear all of your stories!!
Best I can do for you this far:

I just scored a pair of this in an 888. The comparisons to the XHS in terms of initial vibe and difficulty in buttoning up right out of the bag are spot on. Feels like a lighter XHS to me.
How does the 19L feel after breaking in? I’m assuming much softer etc. The fade pics look great.
