IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Gilbertt, it is all up to you. Mine were over 7 months but around 2 days of wear a week. Lately the place I have been were hot and I sweat quite a bit so I just felt the need. It's up to you but I usually would say the longer the better, unless there is a need (ie. Bad spill, stain, etc.). All up to you. Usually I document things but I decided I just want to let this pair be no worries. They are just jeans, GREAT JEANS, THE BEST JEANS, but just jeans. I take extremely good care of them and pay more attention to them than most things in my life but they are jeans and the are meant to age however they choose. I am sure I will love them. So much life to be lived in them and so many more places and adventures to be had!

I somehow ended up w a pair of 634S with a 35.5" inseam, do they shrink at all with an initial soak? Its tagged size 34… i thought they were all 34"?
-
Ok… i generally give all my dry denim an initial soak to soften them up, would that be a bad idea in this case? Seems like after a soak the creases behind the knee aren't usually as pronounced...
I've been telling myself that IH denim would be way too hot for SD but Lando convinced me otherwise... so if i die of a heat stroke it's all his fault! ha ha

They're pretty soft anyway. I would not soak, you'll achieve nothing. Giles
Cool beans, thanks G

I normally do an initial soak to remove the starch from raw jeans even if sanforized. I've heard it said that the starch weakens the cotton fibres. So your saying no need to do that then with the 634S?

Next time (if there is one), get in touch and I will make sure you get a paiur that are 34.

There will definitely be a next time… i ordered a few items to test the proxy waters and it went err OK haha … i accidentally ordered a size XL 10oz Chambray even though i told him i wanted an L in any shirts i ordered, and the inseam on the 634S are a bit long. Live and learn.
-
Haha yeah the chocolate was a nice touch
I put down the sizes i wanted but accidentally linked an XL auction cause i was busy at work and he just bought what i linked… my fault. And yeah the inseam isn't his fault... i had him email the store front seller to verify the inseam length and he told Hide it was an even 34" but it arrived as 35.5

I'll take the wrap if you do but something tells me you will be just fine! Oh and if you die, can I get your jeans? JK
-
Hahaha yes, i'll just scribble my will up on this el pollo loco napkin sitting here on my desk…
-
Ahhh what am i gonna do with an extra 3" of inseam? haha i'm wondering if i should send them off to be hemmed or try a double cuff or something.. they're so thick though i dunno how well that'd work out.
-
Ok i've decided to send them into SENY to have them hemmed but i'm not sure to what length… i usually get jeans hemmed to a 34 cause i like a small cuff but usually have to account for at least an inch shrink after a soak... so should i get these hemmed to a 33 or 33.5? I am an actual 32 and like just enough for a small cuff, or a slightly bigger cuff if i sag them a bit.
-
I doubt you will get an inch in the length..33 should be good
We can do anything
