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

@Germinal Thank you. When something has shipped, we do have a rough idea when it will get here, but it is only rough. Shipments or part shipments are frequently delayed. So Alex waits until he is super sure before announcing go live.

Assistance needed!
I have a pair of 634’s 21oz in 33 tag. Shall i pick the same size in 634 25oz?
Thanks in advance

@Chillberg i assume your main concern is the waist? measure your pair the IH way. if this pair fits you well, look for the same dimensions in this pair. it'll shrink with the first wash, but will stretch out with wear to where it was before, maybe a tad more.

@Chillberg. I second Tody on this. In my case i take same tag size.

@SKT congratulations my friend, you made a perfect choice I'm sure you will love them

[SKT]

@Luijim78 thank you…can’t believe it’s taken me this long!

@SKT I got my first pair of the 634 cut today too, can't wait to wear them (for once I actually hope summer isn't too warm haha)

[SKT]

@Jord congrats man. Mine are probably going to sit until fall…I just really didn’t want to miss the restock this go round.

Ordered. The nephew will be converted

Was refreshing the page every five seconds 15 minutes before the drop. Then a work thing forced me off the computer and I was back 15 minutes after the drop and I was afraid that I missed the opportunity, but there they were. Placed an order and can’t wait to get them and try them on.

Is it advised to soak them before I start wearing them?

[yannis]

@Chillberg, yes it is advised to give them a hot soak and get some of the shrinkage out. Is it 100% necessary?.probably not but recommended

[Davids_denim]

@SKT same, not sure when I’ll get to them. But I’ve got em! lol

[Chillberg]

@yannis thanks! How hot is hot?

[yannis]

@Chillberg. I am not that obsessed to take the temperature of the water but I fill the bathtub with hot water only and let them soak for an hour.

[Jord]

@yannis This is what I plan on doing with these as soon as I get them, hopefully it's a nice day here in Scotland and I can hang them outside to dry too.

[yannis]

Àlso some members put them in the washing machine after the hot soak so insure all the shrinkage is out. Whatever you do you can't go wrong. Just don't put them in a dryer. Let them air dry outside.

Quick fit check. These are my first IH XHR. I went for a 36, since I got a 634-142 in 36 and I like the fit of those.

I like how these fit right out of the box, but I’m a little concerned because of shrinkage. At the moment I can lift my knee to about parallel. But I got rather big thighs and butt and worry that the XHR will be too restrictive after an initial soak/wash.

Can anyone share any insights about potential shrinkage - and stretch - of the thighs and top block.

I am not too keen to size up. The waist feels comfortable, I can sit and squat without relevant discomfort. I guess, a 38 would be far too wide in the waist.
