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

@long_john86 I think you’re doing the right thing! For what it’s worth, I have a similar build and have had a lot of trouble nailing down the right fit in a 634 — I’ve had numerous times where I thought I’d picked the right size but had to send em back once or even twice. That said, it’s worth it. Still my favorite cut.

Hi @long_john86 , I think we're in the same boat. I also have a 634-SBG in size 36 and bought the 634xhs in size 36. After a hot soak and a 40C wash they feel pretty similar. the difference between a size 35 and 36 is huge. Almost 2". Just look at the sizing table. And this is xhs. keep this in mind.

@T-J cheers matey. Yeah I was really surprised with the difference… my bad of course.
Tag 35 secured from Germany. Cheers @Twistlock for the heads up my friend.
Looking forward to letting you all know that they are too small for me

Hope it works out @long_john86 !

For completeness, delighted to let y’all know I managed to source the Tag 35 from IH Germany thanks to @Twistlock , the package arrived a couple of days ago (with a very painful import fees bill 🫠)…. and I feel they fit great!
Here are some photos after the pre-soak in a bath of cold water with some Woolite.
I don’t think I could be happier and even after just a couple of hours wandering around the house in them I can already feel them softening up. This is going to be quite the journey and I am very excited about it.
Thanks to everyone here for helping me with the sizing and sharing your advice/thoughts/experiences with these awesome jeans!
My first XHS experience and I know already it definitely won’t be my last!

(Apols for bad photos. Tag 35 post soak)

Congrats @long_john86 ! Fit looks spot on.

@long_john86 Much better fit! I think you'll find after some wear you'll be happy you sized down.

[long_john86]

@bluemantra cheers matey I do think so as well

Joined the 25 oz club today. Here they are straight out of the box. The last pair of size 32 in stock. Luckily they were right on size with the chart which seems perfect. (Checked with CS before I ordered )
Had them hemmed so when washed they might have a small cuff or preferable uncuffed with some stacking. They feel pretty amazing and also different from both my 21 oz and my UHRs . The weather might not call for 25oz atm but will have them soaked and washed and ready by end of the week

@PJ they look great on you and welcome to the XHS club!

This is my second pair, a refresh. I take a picture with my originals that took, you know, six years to fade (even a little).

@profdbrk Great pic and land rover!!
