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

@rahrah12 different texture, softness, and fade potential. Two different beasts...

I wasn't sure if the following question warranted its own thread or if asking here would suffice; the IH 634 seems like a good option for wearing with cowboy boots, yes?

I tend to look at both rise and hem/leg opening as to what might work with cowboy boots - usually settling on something between 8 and 9 inches, with the sweet spot right in the middle. The 634 seem like they fit that bill. My template is the Wrangler 13MWZ, which, despite its high rise, I like quite a bit everywhere else, so it's my reference. I found some Mister Freedoms in two different fabrics that are similar, but I always return to Iron Heart.

The 18-oz seems to strike a good balance between the 14 and 21 adn 25 heavyweights. Am I on the right track here?

@Bobcat-Sig. Yes you are provided that you are ok with the lower rise of the 634's

@Bobcat-Sig

I wear mine with ropers and slim shaft engineer boots, I feel like it’s a great fit with that type of boot

It should be all good. I have a pair of 633s SBG that fit well, if a bit tight in the waist, so a 634 with a comfortable waist should be nice.

Truthfully, I tend to wear the 13MWZ and IH 888 more at where I typically wear my pants, which is lower than what Iron Heart would say for the high-waist cuts.

I can dig it. While I don't have anything like a Mr Lou - my foot sports too high an arch to make those work - I gotta believe that my cowboy boots have similar shaft circumference to that of engineer boots.

Really what I want, and this might be sacrilege, is an Iron Heart version of the 13MWZ. The 634 seems close.

@Bobcat-Sig they did do a 14oz broken twill at one point which is closer to wrangler. Not sure which cut would be the closest.

[Bobcat Sig]

@wjw Nice! That's intriguing, but not a requirement. Good to know. Thanks!

Second pair of 18oz (outgrew the first pair in 666) and first pair of IH jeans in the 634 cut. Absolutely love them and huge shout out to @Freeman for finding me the perfect fitting pair. I’ll try to get some fit pics soon. Love this denim

[Davids_denim]

A new journey Begins!
Will be wearing this until April.
I must say the fabric is very comfortable and the cut feels so nice, it’s my first time leaving the 666

[SKT]

@Davids_denim heck yeah! Looking forward to watching your progress!

[goosehd]

@Davids_denim classic sharp!! Looks damn good

[Davids_denim]

@SKT Thanks man!
I kinda want to see what happens with 7 months no wash.

[Davids_denim]

@goosehd thanks! Gotta be honest though it was waaaaay too hot for the lefty lol

[Damocles]

@SamD is 33 your usual size ? Like do you wear tag 33 usually on say 634s 21oz/14oz etc

[SamD]

@Damocles It varies from jean to jean, but I'm usually between a 33 and 34. The 18oz and 21oz denim tend to have a bit more give than some other fabrics, so my jeans in those fabrics are tag 33. For tighter woven fabrics like the 17oz duck I'm usually a 34, and I think that was also the case when I tried on a pair from the recent run of 14oz denim. Unfortunately, it's never an exact science!
