IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Chillberg I soaked my 888 XHS in a storage bin then ran on a hot cycle with low spin in the washer and had no issues.

@Oaktavia I wish I could
-
Might be an uphill battle to get them on, but first soak is now done. 1,2cm shrinkage in the waist

@wjw Yeah I got mine Friday and my thumb still hurts, lol
-
@Jord I used some needle nose pliers to open them up a little
-
Im amazed at how quick the Evo is on these. Only been wearing a week or so and whiskers already starting

888-UHR on the left, new 634-XHS on the right. Super excited to experience the 25oz. What’d yall think of the fit? To me, it feels good all around, except the waist, it’s a little tight for my liking. I haven’t given them a soak, I see on the product page that the waist won’t stretch any further than its pre-wash state.
-
@Subprime I’ve gotten a half inch of stretch before with the 25oz from tagged measurements. If that’s not enough for comfort for you, you may consider sizing up. The 25oz are worth it to size right and wear for many years. Since they are a heavy fabric a bit of extra room is nice for movement. Just my thoughts though. I’m sure other people have different opinions.

Thanks for the input @Fadez. The waist already feels better after just a few hours of wear. Imma soak & wash them this evening and be back with updates...

Washed and standing up, all by themselves 🥲 Only a half day of wear, and they’re already feeling great. Very glad I went with this size. I’m even more excited now than when they first arrived! I was nervous about the fit.

@rimaarts so. My saga continues. Today got to try 634 cut in 14 Oz size smaller, 38.
Since 40 I was doubting it's too big, I "think", 38 is a better size for me. Only thing i hope for is that hips won't shrink with wash. Or give a little bit bigger than they are now after some washes. Gets a bit less comfortable when pockets are full.
I would like a bit higher rise, and for a "straight cut", 634 feels pretty slim. Placed order for a pair from Germany. Let's hope 25oz doesn't wear much smaller than 14oz!

Hey guys! Last year bought 2 jeans I don't particularly love.
Blackhorse lane NW1 16 oz was hoping either hips will give more, or I'll shrink a bit. Didn't happen.
Oni secret super rough. FOMO got the best of me so sized up in a cut that's too slim for me. Weirdly after wash they shrunk a lot and fit nicely, but now I need to wear them and see how much they stretch back.
This year I want to jump in 25oz pool. It's between iron heart and samurai.
I tried iron heart straight and relaxed tapered cuts in lightweight denims.
888 38" was a no go. 40" was still slim but wearable. Just when sitting down felt like raise slipped down too much. So I don't want to risk that in 25oz
They didn't have 38" 634. Size 40 felt a bit big everywhere but hips.. So I guess question is how much they shrink/stretch? And if hips are nice on 40, should I risk waiting for restock to try 38?

I meant to quote this post.

@rimaarts. If you wash them with cold water and no spin and hung dry they will not shrink. Tag 40 looks good onnthe pictures though. Not that tag 38 doesn't but in my eyes tag 40 looks more hiw a 634 should fit.
