IH-634S-B - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Overdyed Indigo
-
I tried the 634 on a whim after finding 888s weren't really to my liking and fell in love. I picked these up at Self Edge a month ago and have been wearing them daily. Just did my first wash yesterday after they started smelling a bit funky and I'm super happy with how they're softening up and how the seat is fading.
Also so impressive how much give this denim has. These were literally painted on when I first got them and now I can comfortably pinch an inch of fabric along most of the leg.

@Odin43 this was what made me wonder about the process.
It’s also a massive bonus for me, as I can get into a W34 in these, but a W34 in the OG IH-634-S would be too tight. At the waist and thigh.
It is worth knowing that the OD 21oz stretches even more quickly that the regular 21oz.
100% the truth right there. I picked up 2 pairs of jeans within the last 2 weeks, one being the 21oz overdyed. They definitely fit right on the money, compared to the indigo 634 where I could definitely go up a size.

Also any word on a restock?
won't be till Fall - sorry

3 years and counting. Done some mending by hand with indigodyed sashiko thread (Buaisou, Jpn). Love em' til death
-
Would y’all size up on these? I’m a 35 in the 634 XHS, and after 7 months of wear, I could use about 1” less waist, as it has stretched out.
-
@MassiveThighs sounds like maybe a size down might be the direction to go if you need a slimmer waist?
-
Ur right, I think a 34 might do. Right now my XHS is around 36.5” after wear. I need around 35” after it stretches out.

Hello, sorry I’m sure this question was asked a bunch of times, but I couldn’t find anything using the search function.
I got a fresh pair of 21oz black od which are new. I would like to get them hemmed, I don’t expect any shrinkage from washing, but what about creasing? Should factor in 1cm?
I know there is no right answer because it depends on many factors, but is there some experience that other had?
Thanks! -
@Biecher. Yes creasing is a thing with the heavier fabrics. So one to one and a half centimeters longer is sensible to account for creasing
-
Deciding to buy this beauty of a jeans, easy. Deciding for the right length, very very hard.
-
@MassiveThighs I’d size down. I’ve a pair of OG 634-S Indigo which I’ve had about eight years in a 30” waist. When I bought a pair of the Black Overdyed last year, I needed to size down to a 29”, and they are basically the same size all over / cut.
There's some info a lot earlier on in the thread about the differences between Indigo and Black Overdyed sizing. Hope this helps.

I must be doing something wrong, but I don’t think I have a single pair of IH denim that have stretched out at the waist.
-
@Brandrea You must just have the perfect fits
-
@Brandrea have you ever started a pair where you have to suck in your belly some to get em buttoned? That’s how I like to start mine. They stretch to a perfect fit pretty quickly.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Mizmazzle same here.. I have 4 pairs of 555’s that I could barely fasten to begin with and all fit perfect now.
-
I haven’t lol. I buy them to fit without having to struggle to get into them. To each their own my friend.
-
@Brandrea haha indeed. We all have our ways.
I wouldn’t say I size em so tight that it’s a struggle, per se. Just a nice deep breath to get em buttoned (with perhaps some sore thumbs… ur depending on the weight of the denim, that’s gonna happen anyways)I find this method keeps the thigh and seat nice and clean looking. Not frumpy. But again, just me and @DeeDee85 ’s way!
-
@Mizmazzle @Brandrea I feel like I have to size my 555’s to fit tight as a nod to the younger punk rock loser I was in my twenties
the only other cut with a high enough rise for my fat ass is the 888’s and both times I’ve tried them they’ve seemed comically big compared to what I’m used to.
Saying that though, I don’t really want to be that 50 year old guy in slims so I do need to size for comfort at some point in the next ten years. Maybe I’ll stick with 555’s but size the waist to fit straight out of the bag like your method @Brandrea
