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

Has anyone try to soap IH jeans with Samurai KAMINARI - Thunder Soap?
Yes, no negative effects if that’s your question

@five-pocket these look great! How long have you been wearing them?
-
@Davids_denim hi, thank you very much. I was wearing them for nearly a year 3-4 times a week I think. Took a break from them, but now they are back in totation:) Iˋll be washing them more often now to even out the fades hopefully.
I see from your pics that you like the contrasts. Your fades are really amazing
cheers -
@five-pocket that’s pretty solid fading for “part time” props to you sir.
I appreciate the kindness, honestly I’m just lazy about washing lol. -
@Davids_denim Iˋm in a dilemma since I donˋt want the very high contrast fades, but I also think that the denim is at itˋs best and most confortable when they have been worn for a long time between washes.

@Davids_denim damn makin in look good, need to wear mine more!
-
@october-rust oh man that fade is motivating! just got my pair in the mail and can't wait to wear them.
-
Man I just gotta say these are remarkably comfortable for 18oz. Feels much lighter in weight too.
-
How much stretch are you guys getting in the waist, measured flat, after washing and wearing them for a while?
My ideal waist measurement is exactly 45.5 cm (18") once the jeans are fully stretched out, using Iron Heart’s measuring method.
I’m guessing size 33 would be ideal after stretching? But I do like some roominess through the rest of the fit, so I’m really torn between the two..

@EastClintwood I think you've messed up your measurements somewhere, a 18" (36) is 91.44
Most Iron Heart denim will stretch about an inch with wear, then shrink a little and stretch back out after a wash
-
@Jord I meant 18” measured flat, so about 36” (91.4 cm) total circumference. Sorry for the confusion.
And thanks for the info on the stretch.
