IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Anyone happen to have these in both the 634 and 888 cut? Curious if you feel like there's a difference in how they wear or just what you think about them. I have the 888s but realized later I think I prefer the 634 cut, but at same time a little hard to justify having both.
-
@natefreezy. They are different cuts so they wear very different. I prefer the 634 but other people prefer the 888. Difference wise? The 888 has a higher rise also the 888 tapers from mid thigh to knee to hem so you have a slimmer leg profile. The hem width of the 634 is larger. For me the 888 fits tighter on the legs than I like and I prefer the wider hem opening of the 634 and the straighter silhouette.
-
@yannis Yes thanks! I do have both cuts and I think am coming around more to the 634. I guess I was wondering for people who have / like both cuts, if they have a preference in this particular denim, and if anyone has both cuts. Maybe hard question to answer.
I do think I sized my 888s slightly too small which can be more punishing in 25oz fabric, but could also be I need to lose 5 pounds!
-
I have both cuts and I wear exclusively 634's now. I just like the straight fits better. Came to the point that I dislike narrow hem opening. I also dislike tightness around the knees. So I iam limited to 634 although I love the 463 and I enjoy wearing those alot also.
-
@yannis I'm in the same boat. I was an 888 guy for years and wanted something straight leg so picked up some 634s. Do you go with the same tag size in your 634s that you do in your 888s?
-
@Subprime. Yes same tag size but the top block of the 634 always seats better for me. It maybe my body type but for me the 634 and 463 have the best top block. I assume the 666 is similar but I cannot do the thighs. Just too slim. I looking farward to the new wide cut for something different.

@meatmarketdenim1 thanks bra! You too! Nothing like staring a new pair of XHS. Punk AF!
-
@Mizmazzle amazing! Waiting for my pair getting hemmed too finally break them in.
-
Looking at the picture did you leave the bottom part of jeans out not soak them.
Also. Never turn my inside out unless they go in the washing machine -
@Kasi in the top of the picture you can see the tapwater running I think he was just filling the tub while taking the picture
-
Breaking in XHSib feels much more substantial than the its XHS brother, even with the wider leg i feel it behind the knee..
Nothing but admiration for the sized down 555 wearers out there
-
And yet, in this weirdly masochistic behavior, the "pain" in the break in process remains one of my favorite phases.
Sort of the rite of passage I guess.. -
@tvaillant75 my buddy is currently breaking in his first pair of iron hearts and he chose this pair. Here's the backs of his knees currently. I am breaking a pair in myself and I agree this does feel tougher than XHS indigo/natural.

@catdad1 dang! That’s crazy. I’ve personally never experienced anything like this, though I know many have.
Mine are finishing drying still. Maybe I can shed some
Blood 🩸 this time too! -
@Mizmazzle the cut is amazing. I started with 888 for thigh room, have been dabbling with 1955 and this release got me to finally try out the medium rise. I was a little nervous hemming a new cut from gosport before trying them on but I read @yannis post about people converting from 888 to 634 and I totally get it now. I'm sure you'll be stoked once they fully dry!
-
@catdad1 oh I have no doubt. I tried em on when I first got them and was instant love!!
I played it safe on waiting for the hem. Wish I would have just trusted my instincts and went for the hem in Gos. Now I gotta take em to my local shop. No biggie. A bit of waiting and a bit more $$ …it’s the waiting that’s a killer. I want to start bleeding now!!

I forgot to share earlier. Once they were fully dried in the morning, I staged them to spook my wife before work. She was more annoyed than spooked. Funny regardless.
