IH-634S-B - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Overdyed Indigo

@DeeDee85

You and I have the exact same size of waist. I’m usually aiming for 35.5 or 35.75 on my denim when I buy it. I reckon if for some reason they do stretch, that’s what my belt is for

@DeeDee85 @Brandrea
I do think the suck in the belly method is probably cut dependent. I don’t prefer super slim jeans so the 555 plus sizing down would probably result in a jean far too slim for me (even though I too was a degenerate punk rocker in my earlier years)

But with cuts like the 888 and the 822, which are my favorites, they tend to be a lot looser fitting. My true waist is a 33”. So if I can find a tag with a 32” waist, getting that 1” of stretch does wonders for the overall fit of my jeans once they break in a bit. Which, getting 1” of stretch takes about an hour, maybe, for me…historically speaking.

@Mizmazzle trying the 888 while breathing in heavily could also be my exit strategy from the super slims then

[Mizmazzle]

@DeeDee85 I think you’ll LOVE the results. 888 is so good!

[DeeDee85]

@Mizmazzle I’ll give it a go the next I’m up in Manchester at at Rivet & Hide and let you know how it goes

Just wow!

Finally got around to pimping my 634S-Bs with a Dritz bachelor button. These are admittedly pretty spendy at around a dollar each, but I took the plunge and no regrets.

(This was definitely done purely for aesthetic purposes and had nothing at all to do with accidentally ripping out the original IH button on one of those "pants stretcher" devices.)

I tried to sign up for notifications for size 35, but am getting an error message.

That said, it could very well be user error

[AdamJ]

@Brandrea it uses an API connected to a provider which is currently experiencing server issues sitewide, seems to be an issue with a lot of sites at the moment. I will keep an eye on it!

@AdamJ Thank you Adam.

I did successfully sign up for notifications on the IHJ153, so I figured it was kind of strange.
