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

@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.

Hi all, I know I am not the first on this topic, but I cannot really find an answer to this so far.
This model still has 34" stock. I wear 34" across most of my jeans (denham, gstar, levi's etc), but when I do the measurements as instructed I measure 46 cm / 92 cm which would result in 36". I imagine this is the stretch everybody is talking about.So am I save ordering 34", or is IH better ordered one inch bigger than the other brands?
Thx.

@Rickyuu measurements and tag sizes do not always align, but measurements are king. The stretch happens after you start wearing the jeans if the waist is under strain, so is not included in the published measurements.
To compare like with like you can compare measurements of a recently washed pair of your jeans that fits you well with the published IH measurements. You could also measure jeans you’ve been wearing a while to get a feel for where the waist ends up after stretching. Depending on the denim you might get up to 1 inch of stretch but not much more.
If in doubt email/message the IH team. They know the product better than anyone and can help you find the right size.

Thank you for doing the measuring.
The reason your tag size 34 measure 36, is a combination of vanity tagging and stretch. I can’t tell you how much of each, as I don’t know the denims. But if you want to end up with actual waist size of 36, you need to start with an actual waist of 35 in this jean
-
@Rickyuu, you did the right thing by measuring existing denim that you like and wear. You will find, as you dive deeper into this type of denim, that sizing will vary. I have pairs tagged as small as 30 inches, and all the way up to 34. Measuring is the way.

What do we think of this 634 fit?
The 666 is my cut. It’s the most flattering and works for casual events and dressing up.
I’m looking for a higher rise and more room in the top block for more casual and comfy occasions. I usually wear a 35 but this is a 36. It feels about PERFECT right now. I’m concerned it could stretch and get a little too comfy lol. I tried a 35 in the past and it seemed to poof out a little more in the but and was a little tight in the waist (now I’m questioning my memory).
What do yall think?
I better not like these 888s that are delivering tomorrow too. 🥲

@TwoHearted313 you being happy is what matters. Personally, I think they are a bit big and would probably size down.
-
@goosehd I’m assuming these will stretch about an inch in the waist as other IH fabrics do?
-
@TwoHearted313 yes an inch is quite probable.
-
@TwoHearted313 I think they look excellent and just need to be cuffed or hemmed and start wearing them. The 634 is the everything cut.

@TwoHearted313 rock em
