IH-634S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@RobbieZev in my indigo/black version of these I got 2inches of stretch in the waist. I don't think I ever felt too restrictive in mobility though, for me that has been tied to too tight in the thigh/knee. I had some 666S-142 that didn't work for me. They had stretched over an inch in the waist, and even stretched the thigh a bit, but was never able to stretch enough to get full mobility like I have in my other pairs.

@RobbieZev hmm maybe reach out to the iron heart guys for expert advice. This is a straight cut so i wouldnt have thought you would have movement restrictions unless it is too small. Its hard to tell whether your thighs or the top block is at its limit though. I would say if you are struggling to get up the stairs in this cut then consider going up cause you have to be comfy. I have only encountered this issue with a slim 555 cut where i technically fit in but its restrictive

@RobbieZev Sounds to me like you need the next size up. Full disclosure I don’t buy my denim with stretch in mind, I but them to a fit comfortably right out of the gate.

@RobbieZev you could give them some time to fully break in and conform to your body and the range of motion should improve. However, I’ve had a pair or two that were just too small still and I had to size up. One size doesn’t really look looser though once they’re broken in, and comfort is worth it.

@RobbieZev also it helps measuring a pair of jeans you are comfy in, and then overlaying that with the specs of the pair of 634 that you have. Might give you more insights as to "where" its not working. You will probably need this in order to make a decision on future pairs that you buy anyway. So measure waist, thighs, knees, inseam and opening.
I was thinking with my pair i dont freely move to 90 degrees necessarily. I can do it but like for me thats not the measure. I can move and its all still within expectations of what i deem comfortable and mobile. So it all goes back to what you feel comfortable in and your expectations from previous jeans etc.

@ShopatIronHeart I saw that Iron Heart Japan posted about a restock of the 634s 14oz indigo on Instagram mid of April. Any idea when we can expect a restock?
-
@cyclops Yeah definitely. I bought these off someone who had bought them and hemmed them too short and was selling them inexpensive (brand new) . Ideally, I would buy 1 size up, but thought with the waist stretch maybe it would work, but they are slightly tighter all around than i prefer.

@robinvonbatman Hi! We are loosely looking at around June/July currently speaking. Keep an eye on this thread as this will be the first place to know, and sign up to restock alerts by selecting your currently out of stock size and entering your email address where prompted!
