IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

[xcesiv]

For me my 666 UHR are slightly short in the rear rise, as they have less of a natural slope compared to my 633/634 XHS.

I was wearing a pair of 634S-B’s size 40, and they got a little tight in the waist so I purchased a 634 XHS size 42. I figured going up a few ounces justified a size up, to make the break in easier. Those fit great in the waist, everywhere else was way too baggy.

After asking on here the consensus was made that I either need a 634 size 40 with a larger waist measurement, or a slimmer cut size 42.

Purchased a pair of 666 UHR size 42 and they are basically “painted on”. The rear rise also doesn’t do it for me, as stated above. They are always sliding down, and they are by no means loose.

Currently i’m wearing a 633 XHS size 40 and they are great. They have a slightly larger waist measurement, without all that extra bagginess the 634 size 42 had.

@pechelman that's interesting, I was always under the impression that the 666 has a lower rise and tighter top block compared to the 634? I am also interested in the 634xhsib but maybe wait for the 888 then

@meatmarketdenim1
666 for me can’t bend my legs.
If I size up they feel like 634.

Over the years worn a lot of different model fits
In the end came to 634. Will stick with 634.

Called it the boy cut.

666 is a tighter top block all around. Sized up 666 don’t feel like 634 to me, they feel like jeans with a real tight seat and thigh and an oversized waist.

If you don’t have a lot of junk in the trunk the 666 will probably be fine, though.

The measurements don't really support what I said about rise, if anything, they're basically the same, but it's the snug top block that helps hold them up to prevent them sliding down, for me and my body shape. I have a pair of 666xhsib that I sized up on that measure almost identical to some 634-18s but with a higher rust bc of the tag size jump. Maybe the legs are a little narrower but the width in the top block really feels the same.

I'm just here to see if @Mizmazzle and @ZackB keep the pact.

[KongPrecision]

First XHSib - these are grail jeans for me! I might set up a cot and sleep next to my front door until they arrive...

[Jord]

@KongPrecision Literally me with FedEx/UPS... "sorry we missed you"... do you mean sorry you didn't even attempt to deliver?

DPD are my favourite here in the UK, live tracking and I'm at the door waiting for my item before the driver can pull up outside, no excuses

Snag last 32 2 pairs luckily in time

@Jord
Me to DPD. Been ten years now with Iron Heart

Thankfully, I am in no great rush for my pair. They'll be under the tree till Christmas morn.

Also, just wanted to mention that I appreciate what IHUK is doing regarding the tariffs. i.e. Paying the dang tariffs. This appears to be very much the exception. Everywhere else is all, "Hey, we appreciate your custom. You mean the world to us! Oh, tariffs? Yeah; you're on your own there, numbnuts."

I'm sure it's good business, but it also comes across as pretty classy.

I always hem my jeans...I've got other pairs of XHS so I know what I'm getting into...but these will be my first 634s....I do have the 822s....which almost exactly match all measurements in my tag size 32 to tag size 32 in these 634 XHSib....but am not 100% confident to hem until i've tried them on...tempted to still...but I think perhaps some prudence here is key with holding off on the hem.
