IH-634S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@Giles @Tago-Mago @goosehd Looking for some sizing advice:

I meausure my best jeans to following size:

Waist: 34,3 inch
Front rise: 10
Rear rise: 14,7
Thigh: 12,5
Knee: 8,3
Hem: 7
Inseam: 34,1

I can see on the web that the waist will stretch out approximately 1" with wear. All other dimensions that are put under pressure will stretch proportionally to the waist.
In my best jeans i measure waist to be 34,3. 
Im a little bit confuse here, should i go for 33 or 32, because waist will stretch out 1"?

Which size would you recommend- so i can be closer to my ideal measurement?

[goosehd]

@Luke_is_back Personally I would go with tag size 33 with a measurement of 34 inch. The most i normally like to go under on a pair of jeans is .5 inch under my ideal as I find that is my sweet spot. If it stretches more, I wear a belt (although I wear a belt most of the time).

…I say this in reference to this denim only. Other denim and I may do more or less.

@Luke_is_back I agree with @goosehd, 33 is the way to go imo

I have a dentist appointment at the time these release tomorrow, if my size is still around on the way out I'll hopefully get a pair - if not then I guess it's money saved for the FW26 fund

Got ‘em

I “need” to soak these, but man…I may have to wear them this evening before the soak. They’re just too good. I’ve handled the denim before, but there’s something about it in the 634 cut. So good.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

One of my favorite pairs, and I can wear them all year

@northsouthdenimguy you finally made the 634 jump

@guiltyparty

Achually…

I have a couple others, but I like the 634 for the evenings and weekends and 666 on the job site. Don’t ask me why, I’ve got issues.

[Jord]

@northsouthdenimguy How come you need to soak them? Are they too big? Or do you want to soak them to prevent you from returning them haha

Great pair man!

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Jord

I typically soak all my indigo denim before the first wear regardless of what it is. ‍️

[RocknRoll]

I also do an inside-out soak of every pair of jeans before wearing, regardless of whether it’s needed for shrinkage purposes.

It opens up the material and gets rid of the brand-new “flat-packed” look.

@goosehd
Can i use anyone to hem those jeans or should i use IH for it, because they are selvedge jeans?
What do most people do?

Thanks for your advice

[goosehd]

@Luke_is_back you could use just about anyone, but I have always used IHUK or IHG to hem my pants.

[Jord]

@Luke_is_back I would ask someone that can chain stich so you can get roping on them

@RocknRoll

This is why I do it too
