The madder the better!
We are all mad for quality!
(My girlfriend thinks i'm mad for spending so much on clothing…(Honey... Having 2.3 million pairs of heels that you wear once, after which they sit collecting dust, is much less cost effective that buying great clothes and getting a ridiculous amount of use on them!))They are the greatest boots i'v ever owned, and i can definitely see where your bias comes from!
Commendable effort on your 666-XHS's Seul, they will definitely be my next pair!

sorry guys, I really hate to be that guy but I've read some conflicting reports to my 2ndhand account.
Ive never owned IH's 21oz and i really think the 555 will suit me best. However, I am having trouble deciding between a size 33 and 34. the measurements online look fairly identical.
i've read on here that the 21oz stretches like crazy and with that, I'd assume id be ok with a 33. However, my buddy has a pair of 634 that use the same denim and he advised me sizing up one as theres little stretch.
With that being said, when are 34s expected back in stock? Trying to figure out my next move.
Thanks

Also the opening looks small enough that the hem would ride down if you ever wear sneaks or something. I hem my jeans similarly.
-
In regards to cuffing I personally make a choice and stick with it. Cuffs and stacks alike leave indigo marks on the interior of the fabric. If you stack and then cuff there will be marks on the upturned cuffs. YMMV, etc…
-
All my jeans will be hemmed at some point. 634S is next, then the Railcars, though the RCs have the best looking cuffs of all my jeans–they start the hem from the inside so that the outseam hem looks super clean, none of that overlapping chainstitch on the outside--which I think some people like a lot, so not for everyone.

Mclain:
Good tip, i never thought of that indigo transfer.
I think I will stick with the stacking
My only problem is, the stacks are different every single time i put the jeans on, (I have only had then about a month, maybe less), and sometimes I like the way the stack looks, other times it bunches too much for my liking at the bottom, hence resulting in the stack sticking out and looking a little funny…
Any suggestions? Other than harden up
Bluegrass:
Same question as above ^
But in addition, I agree with cuffs looking a bit funny with the skinny calf, but unfortunately my calves are huge, yet, from the calf down i'm quite skinny... I think this probably accentuates the stack a bit, and makes it look a little funny! -
Hehe… I'm far from an expert here, but you can just rearrange them until you like the stack, and then "cheat" by pinching the creases to try to force them to set. That's one trade-off with sanforized fabric, the creases don't hold (although my Railcar X-009s hold creases unlike any sanforized denim I've ever seen, though still not like a loomstate fabric). If you're always stackin', it doesn't matter if the stacks are variable cos all the blue crease lines on the inside of the fabric will never be visible. At some point I think creases will set in...
-
I actually tried pinching the creases a bit once, it didn't work as well as a hoped, i'm not sure if I used enough force though…
The 21oz is just so soft and pliable!
Railcar seems to be a great brand as well, although i have no physical experience with their garments. Do you know if they offer their alteration services to 'non-railcar' denim? -
They do, and they even have the intestinal fortitude to work on the 25oz denim…
the 21oz denim is exactly that, soft and pliable. So stubborn. Much like yours truly, it just does what it wants. And I love it for that.
