IH-9634Z - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Superblack

[riffblaster general]

i'm with you.  sending these and 634s-b to blue in green this week.

Do the 21oz zipper version stretch like 21oz 634s?  Does anyone own a size 34? what is the post wear h2p measurement?  thanks in advance.

[D97x7]

My 9634z size33s seem to have stretched out the same as my 634s size 33s both now measure around 35".

[Seul]

Dp7x7: so your waist is 35"?.. I'm guessing mine might stretch 0.5" as the waist is close to perfection…

[injunjack]

Seul, don't worry, the won't stretch anymore than it's necessary

@D97x7:

Perfect for me! I stretched my size 34 634s to 36, should be able to do the same on this supa black.  Thanks for info D97.

[Seul]

Oh, I know!.. That's why I'm saying that they probs won't stretch more than 0.5", if at all. Def always wear a belt in my jeans so that helps (because even though they fit perfectly, they can still stretch from working in them).

Yes I guess it is, didn't realise they or I had stretched so much untill I put a tape across them.

Tinman, my 9634Z size 34 still measure just a bit over 34, but it's early yet, only 15 wears or so.

So, I'm looking at this one or the Beatle Buster 21oz Selvage Denim Super Black Fades to Grey.

My favourite jeans so far when it comes to fit is a pair of nudies (yes, I know, but I live in Norway, bear with me), they measure as follows:

Waist: 37.7 inches
Front rise: 10.2 inches
Thigh: 13.4 inches
Rear rise: 16.5 inches
Hem: 9 inches

Should i go with a 36 pair and go for a 1.5 inch stretch in the inseam, or would it just be more comfy and less skin-tight (i don't like it too skintight) to just go with a pair of 38s?

[Seul]

These are a regular straight fit… Big difference between these and slim jeans...  :-\

[Lucifer]

I know, I guess that is why i should go for the IHxB01sbg to get a more  similar fit. At the same time, I don't mind a somewhat more casual/loose fit, as long as it is not baggy. But I have never tried any IH pants yet, so a bit in the dark here

[Seul]

Well… Here are my 9634Z... My true size is 32, these are tagged 32 and measure 32"...

[Lucifer]

Thanks for the fit-pics!

I think that looks like a great fit. Not super-tight, but still fitted enough to have shape and avoid too much baggyness, thanks!

[Seul]

Just get them hemmed to your perfect length +0.5" to take settling into account… They are stiff though... Check the right leg down the knee on the first pic...

[Lucifer]

Last stupid question before I decide:

Does these have the knife-pocket? I'm have my skeletool with me 90% of the time and a knife pocket would be grand!

[Giles]

nope.  At the moment, just the Beatle Busters

[Lucifer]

Aaah, ok! Hmm, maybe I'll go for the black-fade-to-greys then. Hard to choose I love the all black look, and I guess it is good with a bit more room than my skinny nudies when the denim is harder/stiffer/with less stretch. At the same time, fading is beautiful and a pocket-knife is a daily staple.. gah, someone choose for me

[riffblaster general]

if you want another vouch for the 9634z i can give one.  i love my pair.  they are currently being hemmed (again) so i can't give you a fit pic but everything Seul says is right on…..hem to true length plus .05".  I've found that the 634 cut sized down one works best for me, as the waist stretches to true size, but the legs end up being slim but not too tight.

and as far as the knife goes.....this denim is pretty damn tough.    you can wear a knife for a pretty good while before it causes any damage the way just about any other pair of jeans would.

[Lucifer]

Hmm, maybe I should try a 36 then.. I use a 36 in Nudies which is tight when i get it on, but perfect after a few hours of use.

As posted before:

Waist: 37.7 inches
Front rise: 10.2 inches
Thigh: 13.4 inches
Rear rise: 16.5 inches
Hem: 9 inches

Those are my measurements, and the 9634 size 36 is:

Waist: 35.9
Front rise: 11.3
Rear rise: 15.2
Thigh: 13.3
Hem: 9 inc

You think that the 1.7 inch "disadvantage" in the waist will work itself out? will it stretch any in the thighs? Maybe it is safer for me to just go with the 38".
