IH-634S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

I “need” to soak these, but man…I may have to wear them this evening before the soak. They’re just too good. I’ve handled the denim before, but there’s something about it in the 634 cut. So good.

One of my favorite pairs, and I can wear them all year

@northsouthdenimguy you finally made the 634 jump

@guiltyparty

Achually…

I have a couple others, but I like the 634 for the evenings and weekends and 666 on the job site. Don’t ask me why, I’ve got issues.

@northsouthdenimguy How come you need to soak them? Are they too big? Or do you want to soak them to prevent you from returning them haha

Great pair man!

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Jord

I typically soak all my indigo denim before the first wear regardless of what it is. ‍️

[RocknRoll]

I also do an inside-out soak of every pair of jeans before wearing, regardless of whether it’s needed for shrinkage purposes.

It opens up the material and gets rid of the brand-new “flat-packed” look.

@goosehd
Can i use anyone to hem those jeans or should i use IH for it, because they are selvedge jeans?
What do most people do?

Thanks for your advice

[goosehd]

@Luke_is_back you could use just about anyone, but I have always used IHUK or IHG to hem my pants.

[Jord]

@Luke_is_back I would ask someone that can chain stich so you can get roping on them

[northsouthdenimguy]

@RocknRoll

This is why I do it too

[Luke_is_back]

@Jord sorry, but what do you mean?

[goosehd]

@Luke_is_back this is chain stitching and often found/used on Ironheart Jeans:

This type of stitch often leads to roping:

@Luke_is_back make sure that the tailor you are using can do chain stitching as described here:

There is a glossary of the most common terms on the IH website:
