IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

^ couldnt agree more mate; given that sizing is the primary bane of internet shopping…
Yeah, that's why I always check everyone's "How We Measure" section, and if a retailer doesn't have one, I check their return policy. And in this respect especially, a picture really is worth a thousand words.
Now is an appropriate time for me to say thanks to Giles, Paula and the IH Japan crew for taking the time to make such a comprehensive measuring guide. I've used it multiple times to verify that my technique is as identical as possible.

3 days since purchase and 3 days of wearing. Each day becomes more and more pleasurable. Im sure this forum needs another person gushing about their jeans, so I will oblige ;D.
Im in love with them. Understated at first glance, but when you get up close, you notice the details. The fit was snug at first, but has loosened up a bit each day to the point now where they are almost to a perfect fit, but not quite. Probably another week will net perfect results. But its how they feel each morning when I put them on that really stands out. The heavy denim is like armor, and I feel secure in them. Just the sound of the heavy fabric moving against itself when being put on is great.
Funny story, the first day I had them on, the buttons were still super stiff. I had to use the restroom, so when I got to the urinal, I ripped the button fly open, and the guy washing his hands did a double take because the sound the buttons made echoed through the bathroom. Sounded like muffled gunshots! -
After having these jeans for 8 days 8 hours 21 mins and 7 seconds…I have fallen in love with these jeans and find them so much more superior then all my other pants.
That being said, I have a problem. How do you get the cuffed jeans to stay down. I have them second cuffed and the second cuff keeps rolling up...please help

Could always hem them to get rid of the excess fabric. Might help them hang a bit more naturally. Doug's solution is probably best, though.

Love the color on those, Lando
Right on, thanks D. I am pretty sure they will look a lot different/ lighter/ more contrasty after a wash and with some half way decent images.

Yea, Lando, those look great. such a different beast when compared to my new 634S. Its pretty amazing what they can turn into. I spent the better part of last night pouring over the 634S world tour thread (got mostly through FOXY's Moscow trip) and am so excited to get these babies broken in.

You won't be sorry you did. They are so versatile. I can roll, cuff, or stack them. They are heavy and protect from wind, but breathe well because of the weave. I just really love the IH standard 21oz Sanforized denim. There is a reason the IH-634S and IH-526J are the main staples of the brand!

They are getting a hot machine wash as I type. I will hang dry them over night and take photos in the am.

Woke up early this AM and the waist was still damp. Had somewhere to be and am impatient. Anyways, I will put up post wash / evo shots tomorrow pending decent lighting…
