IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
thanks for the feedback @manufc10 - i think JNCOs would be the only jeans I could actually squat in haha

Just a general soak / wash question on the 634S.
I never did an initial soak… the jeans fit vert well from the get go. I've started wearing them to work and one night they got very muddy so I thre them in the wash, and have done once again for stank purposes. They do shrink a tad and then after a few days of wear go back to pure lovliness. Is there a point in doing a soak now or in the future?
Thanks
Joe

Just wash them whenever they get dirty or stinky.

Will do. Just wanted to make sure there was no need to soak now. Washing will be fine then.

With the exception of an initial soak, as described on receiving them. I tried the soak deal once, but after that, I wash them as I would any jeans I have ever owned, with the exception of using cold water, and low spin. I wash them a bit less than I would have other jeans, but way before they get stinky. I don't really understand the multiple soak thing. I just wash them. And most just air dry. That's just me.

Oh I didn't mean literally do squats at the gym lol…I meant squatting down as in everyday squatting like to pick something up off the ground, pet the dog, tie your kids shoe, etc...
lol i knew what you meant haha.
It would be nice to have a pair of jeans I actually could squat in though… i hate having to wear sweatpants to work on back squat day when i know i'll need to spot people on heavy reps.
*yes, I realize complaining about wearing sweatpants to work is perhaps the most First World problem ever.

Hi all, new to IH but I decided to start with this model as the signature jean before I start wandering into other fits/cuts/weights/styles/etc. Since I'm coming from a lifetime of wearing $40 jeans this was quite the step up. The 21oz is just ridiculous but it is starting to succumb to my will and I am beginning to understand why people say they are so comfortable. I look forward to getting MUCH use out of these.
And those $40 pairs just went in the donation bag.

@Manticore just wait until you wear them for like 6 months. They get unbelievably soft. I also like the iridescent sheen the denim has in the sun.

Thanks. They are already starting to get softer so i can't to get more time in them. I actually just dropped them off at SELA yesterday to get hemmed so eagerly waiting for them to be finished.

Since it was Wednesday and I was very happy to have my new Red Wing 8886's on and my 634 as well. Plus I havent really posted a picture pic yet.

Do those stretch a bit? I just got my first pair (usually wear the 1955S) and they're definitely a tad tight in the thighs.
They have some good give in them, but not too much that they become baggy. For me, after the first few hours after a wash they settle back in nicely. They are by far my favourite jeans I have ever owned.

These were my first IH product which I purchased nearly three years ago. They have been essentially the only jean I have worn, and ball parking I'd say they've had approximately 400 wear days maybe more. Each cuff has been repaired by SE since. When I bought them I told myself I'd be dedicated to them until they faded; I managed to hold out until that yenim came along

Very nice, @QuantumMechanic. That 21oz denim…

Excellent!
