IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Huge shout out to @cyclops for alerting me to a size 34 that just dropped.
Much appreciated friend. 
-
@Denimhead-0 Glad you got a pair of these, I felt the need to "double up" on the UHR denim and got both 888 and 634 too
-
@Jord Great minds think alike
-
I stuffed my jeans up with some prominent marbling due to impatience and being distracted. Now they are my yard jeans. My thinking is that the uneven streaks will virtually disappear after some decent fading from heavy usage.
-
Did a warm soak and then an agitated warm/gentle cycle. Waist feels pretty spot on. Wearing with belt.
If I eventually want to wear these with a floating cuff what is the best way to deal with the bottoms before I hem them during walks for example. I would like to break them in a lot before cutting anything off but I dont want to make any choices that will compromise them or create unwanted scars
while doing that. -
@BigLeeMarvinFan merged your topic with the main 634S-UHR thread. After you have all of the shrink out of the denim, cuff them to the desired length or leave them uncuffed to create stacks. The stacks will relax once they are hemmed to the appropriate length. It’s really your choice on what you want to do.
-
Thank you! I did a very hot soak and then a wash cycle so i think they have shrunk. Should I be breaking them in with stacks or cuffs if i am unsure if i want to cut off any material? I am wanting a floating cuff.
Appreciate the direction. -
@BigLeeMarvinFan apologies, but I don’t know what a floating cuff is.

@BigLeeMarvinFan You can't really go wrong, experimenting is part of the fun until you find out what you like!

@goosehd i think thats a japanese cuff...
But i think to answer his question, i would say cuffing is going to look neater than stacking, you can then just choose whatever amount you want to hem. Dont think this impacts or damages your jeans and will look nice....
-
Cool. Great. I meant a cuff that hangs without a break on the top of my boots. I wear Moc toes a lot and cowboy boots.
I want to wear them in really well this summer before I decide if I want to take any length off.
Will cuff & uncuff to hang. -
Are y'all finding the sizing to be consistent with other 634 models? I fit in the 21 oz, the SBG, 18 oz and the 14 oz size 32 perfectly, thinking the 32 will be the right size, but fear they may be a tad big. Thinking I should pull the trigger since they aren't continuing this product any longer......
-
@Free_Lancer Depends on the pair you're looking at and if it's unwashed. It will definitely shrink, so without knowing any specifics it's probably gonna shrink to fit
-
@freepickin Thanks for the reply. It's a brand new pair. Last one they had at Statement Store Munich. I went ahead and pulled the trigger! They are pretty much sold out everywhere from what I can tell. I was just curious if the final shrunken product was consistent with other 634s. Figured folks on this thread had experience with other 634 denims. I guess I'll find out!!
-
@Free_Lancer If the size 32 is close in measurements to your ideal size then yes, they are going to work for you. For example, if your other jeans measure ~33.4 inches or ~84.7 cm, then after the initial soak/wash and stretch then you should be good to go.
The advice is to buy a pair that fits almost perfectly out of the bag (brand new), wash/soak them, and then wear them to stretch them back out to pre shrink dimensions. You will get the stretch out of the waist and a little elsewhere (other than the length).
-
@goosehd Thanks for your response! The other 634s I own didn't measure quite that large. They are mostly TTS and stretched about an inch to end up at touch over 16" across.
I didn't have any other options, it was their last pair and 32 was the smallest size, so I just went for it. I guess I was a little surprised reading through this thread that most folks didn't get as much shrinkage as they expected. I know these things are a challenge to predict, but I am guessing if I go for the max shrinkage I'll get pretty close to where I want them.
-
@Free_Lancer If your other jeans measure 16” across then these will end up being too big with time. Yes, they shrink upon the initial soak/wash but stretch back out. If they measure 1.5” too big out of the bag, then they will be ~1.5” too big with time.
My advice is to try them on when you get them, and if they are too large (fit poorly) then you need to make a decision to either keep them or return them. You can make them fit (unless you gain weight).
-
@goosehd Thank you for the candid advice. The jeans arrived today and they were indeed too big. They came in a touch over 16.5" across and on a try on, they were pretty big. I think I should return them sadly. Many thanks to you for chiming in on my post
