IH-633S - Self Edge x Iron Heart 21oz Selvedge Straight Tapered
-
Howdy y’all. Looking for rise some feedback please. I recently picked up a pair of 21oz 633s. For the last few years, I’ve stuck to buying jeans with a medium-high rise. Usually in the 11.5inch range for front rise, and 15 inch back rise give or take. This is where I feel most comfortable. I rolled the dice a little bit with the 633 and as I wasn’t able to get a specific pair from SE, I ended up receiving a pair with 10.75 inch FR and 14.5 inch BR.
Having worn them a little bit, I’m aware of the rise being a little lower than I’m accustomed to, front and back. But as I’m to used to a medium-high rise, I’m struggling to figure out how I feel about this 10.75/14.5 inch rise and whether it works. Generally, I think it’s a good fit overall - love the thigh and slight taper. If they were definitely too low a rise I’m sure I would’ve sent them back immediately. I’ve tried pairs where that was definitely the case.
Just looking for feedback as to whether you think these look in the range of “ok” and that they’ll work out. Won’t be seeking out 10.5 inch rises specifically in the future though.
Here’s my PBJ-019 which has a 11.5/15 rise which I feel very comfortable in.

Look great to me. I understand the scepticism/discomfort that comes with moving outside of your subjective comfort zone, but you’re golden here. Relax and enjoy.
Also, the only objective problem with a low rise is the risk of plumbers crack. Find a good friend, then bend, crouch and squat a lot in front of them. If there’s a problem you will be told
-
@neph93 appreciate the insight, man! I think I’m in agreement. There’s not a ton of clearance but I think the crack is safe haha.
-
@americanathreads when I got mine I was worried about this also. The 21oz definitely relaxes a ton. I hadn’t worn mine in a while and it was like putting sweatpants on.
-
@ZackB yeah it’s super soft off the bat. I’m sure it’ll be very comfy after a while. Do you mean it relaxed and you got a bit of stretch in the rise?
-
@americanathreads not stretch on the rise but the back doesn’t flare out as much when it relaxes.

Second day wearing my 633S-SBG on a trip to the east coast visiting a buddy. I went with the larger (38) of the 2 sizes that fit me because the rise/hips felt like they were going to give me some trouble sitting in them for a 5 hr plane flight in the smaller size. I like the 38’s leg better for sure, but damn, 2 weeks in and yall are right about the SBG stretching a bit. I’m happy with my choice, but may go with a more snug size next time around picking up some SBG…*didn’t see a 633S-SBG thread, sorry if I was lazy and there is one
-
@sophisto000 The 633 is a Self Edge exclusive cut and there are no SBG related threads. This will work.
-
Finally got 6 months in
-
Took some pictures since I need to send these in for pocket bag repair. Few years in rotation

I finally pulled the trigger on the 633 cut in SBG
Self edge has sizing that doesn’t seem right compared to IH site, and even the 633 cut in SBG seems different than the other 633 fabrics so last year I went with the 555 instead size 36 instead.
The 555 was great, I love them, but for an even better fit I could use a little more room in the thigh to make stair climbing easier.I was skeptical of the sizing in the site, how could a tag 38 only measure 35” waist.
I rolled the dice and it worked out, they fit great, the waist works for now and should stretch out a bit to be perfect, thighs have more room to move, hem is still under 9” which I like.Anyways here’s my confirmed measurements in case anyone else is wondering how they measure up.
Ironheart 633 SBG 21oz self edge
Chart / actual new
Tag 38
Waist 35 / 35.25
Thigh 13.5 / 14 (13 from crotch seam)
Front 12 / 12
Rear 16 / 16.5
Knee 9.7 / 9.75
Leg 8.5 / 8.75 -
SE’s methodology for measuring these dimensions differs from IHUK. Look into those deets. The SBG and latest collab has higher rise compared to older 633 models…more akin to 888 now. better fit imho. good luck. i just got these in SBG too….excited to fade some black into grey!

Hi guys, did I miss something on why is IH-633s the only jeans model with asymmetrical wave stitching on the back pockets? It makes zero sense, it looks like a mistake. Can someone explain please? Thank you
-
The’ve had several iterations over the years. Such as, as @sabergirl says, the half arcuates. They seem to be using the standard (but tonal) pattern now. @Bane011 - the 633, the 301, and older SExIH cuts are exclusives and collaborations. Seemingly Kiya has worked in some design details over the years. I’m a fan of the gen 2 pattern.
WTB: IHJ-118-BLK/OLV XL, IHM-34-BLK L, IHSH-297-IND L, IHSH-399-ORA XL, IHWF-001-PUR L, IHSH-366-IND L

@Boit @sabergirl Thank you guys, Im excited to get my first 633s, I have a feeling that they might be maybe my favorite cut. I have 666, 634, and 888, and 888 is my favorite, but I love the 634 top block. Maybe my ocd is messing with me when I see the stitch wave on the back pockets of 633s thay are going in the same direction and not looking like a symmetrical mirror image. But I’ll live with it, no worries.

I’ve been extremely happy with my 633 SBG that I just got, they are the best fitting iron heart I’ve had. The 777 is nice when standing but as soon as I crouch I start to feel a breeze.
The 555s used to be my favorite but the extra thigh room of the 633 has been nice.
I get the feeling like the more snug 555 will develope better fades/whiskers but the 633 is more like wearing comfy sweatpants.My next pair will be a 633 in the 21, 23 or 25oz
-
@sabergirl I’m ok with a different design, it’s just the direction of the both pocket lines is graphically, design wise, it’s different, but ok, because it’s a collaboration, so it’s special in a way.
-
@Boit Got my 633s this morning and completely blown away how good they fit. I was expecting a lot bigger taper as Self Edge wrote in the description, but it’s not that drastic at all, it’s perfect. And the IH 21oz denim is just amazing, I don’t want to take them off! I dig the different pocket design too
