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

@Luke_is_back you could use just about anyone, but I have always used IHUK or IHG to hem my pants.
-
@Luke_is_back I would ask someone that can chain stich so you can get roping on them
-
This is why I do it too

@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:

Loving this denim
-
Mine arrived yesterday, ordered my usual size and hem. Put them on and they are perfect.
The 18 0z. was my first denim several years ago in the 666 cut, and man, the way it fades is just special.
Everyone needs at least one pair in this fabric.

To be completely accurate, it is not the chain stitch itself that causes the roping. It is the folder. The folder, obviously folds the cuff before the needle puts a stitch through the denim, but it also adds differential friction to the bottom part of the folded hem versus the the top part, this results in the weft shifting slightly through the upper and undersides of the stitched hem, it is that weft offset that causes the roping. I could hem a pair of jeans on a 43200G and get zero roping if I manually folded and basted the hem before doing the final stitch, obversely if I used the same folder on a flatstich machine, I could achieve roping....

These look great and the rise measurements are quite similar to my 888s which makes now consider these for variety instead of waiting on 888 21oz. Hmmm...

@cyclops Your closet called, you definitley need another pair!
-
I got mine the other day too. Super happy with the fabric and the fit.
-
Cool denim. Its great to have another 634 in my lineup. Thanks Vik for your help in sizing!

After a few days these are becoming one of my favorite jeans ever. I love how the fabric feels and I really like the fit of these for a slightly more relaxed silhouette. I’ve mostly worn slimmer cuts before but I have a pair of the 21oz 634’s, which are significantly wider below the knee. I like the fit of these 18oz 634’s a lot more.
-
I picked up a pair of these because I wanted variety to my 21oz and 25oz 888s. I am very happy. I also went down a size to 38 from 40 which is another reminder for everyone to always refer to the size chart and not the tag size alone. I wear my 888s a bit relaxed and I like that with the heavier denim. These in 38 worked super well for me while before I tried 21oz 634s and they did not.
Coming down to 18oz already feels significantly lighter to me and I don't mind that the top block is a tad bit more snug when the fabric is a bit lighter compared to my 888s. The main thing for me was that the rise was not too different from my 888s ( something that put me off with 634s I tried before ) Just gotta get used to the slightly bigger hem, but the jeans drape so nicely already. I dunno if my ultimate would have been to wait for the 18oz 1955s but I am certainly happy I got these because they feel like a year round pair and I now own a pair of the OG cut.
When I joined IHUK, 18oz was the first denim I tried — always loved the fabric, but didn't get on with the 555 cut I initially went with. I missed out the last time it restocked, so wasn't going to let it pass me by again!
