IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

You probably don't care… But I translated this tag that was on my jeans:
_**Handling Precautions
Because of unwashed items, some shrinkage comes out at the beginning of laundry
Washing 1-2 times is recommended before hemming.**_

^I guess my legs don't bend enough to get sweet combs [emoji848]

I think some of these combs are engineered, i.e., ironed in before actual wear begins. They are too symmetrical and precise to be random.
Probably not by an iron. But by wearing the jeans while they are damp.

Man it is great to be back into a pair of 25oz XHS again!
This pair has a soft and velvety hand right out of the gate. Might be that I did several boiling soaks. This cut is so comfortable too.

@Filthy…almost twins today...my 634s XHS (my first ever purchase from IH, almost 3 years old).
I’ve got the indigo 64 and slippers here though.I have to say that the 25oz has ruined me for all other denim, I have just loved it at every stage of the wearing process....

@Dstauffer haha that's the best denim and the best Iron Heart shirt too. Great minds think alike.

I never posted any pics of my 634-XHS, size 33, from the DWC tux division. About 18+ months of wear, 20+ washes. I didn't follow the rules of posting monthly updates, so I suppose I was disqualified. I had RCFG taper them to 8.25" hem, and cut to 34" length. The did shrink quite a bit from new, and they were just too tight for me to deal with any longer. Now retired.
XHS is till my favorite IH denim, perhaps my favorite denim of all. I've stated it before, and I'll do so again: I'd love to see the 634-XHS details updated as per other 634 models, with double selvedge fly, tucked belt loops, lined rear pockets, and particularly the heaving gauge stitching that has been used in some areas. This denim deserves the extra attention to the finer details.
And just for reference, a fit when brand new:

Some fit pics for us, @Filthy??
Sorry it took me so long… been working 90 hours or so a week. These are the best I can do. They are nice and baggy like I wanted. Kudos to @swiss-jeansfreak for suggesting sizing up. No matter what I'm not going to wash these this time. (Unless I have a food predicament or I poop my pants). I have enough pairs now I can let these chill until they don't stink if they end up stinky.
P.S. if you are reading this and you don't have an Iron Heart IHG-20 wallet chain… you should get one. It's the best wallet chain ever! -

Anyone have any experience getting the leg below the knee tapered on this cut? I had to get the 634 because it's the only jean I could find with a 33" waist, 13" thigh and a 36+" inseam. I love my XHS, but I think I'd like a smaller leg opening and less baggy below the knee look.
I have a reputable denim tailor (Railcar fine goods) that will do the work. I'm worried about how the extra heavy duty will react to a taper.
Also, these jeans of mine are pretty new; one soak and about 6 days of wear so far. Should I get them altered now or wait until they are a little more broken in?
