          I think it just means they have taken a seam ripper and taken the arcuate off of each back pocket.

                        So I receieced my 634sii jeans today. I am debating wether or not to Exchange them for a larger size. I have not soaked them yet. The fit is exactly how I would like them to fit post soak. My concern is that they won't fit me post soak because they are a snug fit. Which is how I want them be but I worry that post soak I won't be able to get them back on. Advice please? . I will Post this in the 634sii thread as well. Thanks

                          If you can get them on ok now and you like the fit, you could soak them while wearing them (put em on and sit in the tub for awhile). This is usually my preferred method because I like a pretty snug fit. On the other hand you could return them for the larger size and hot soak. I'm sure you'll be ok either way and more people will chime in.

                            Whatever shrink you get with the soak will be gotten back with wear/stretch.  Personally, I would keep the pair you bought.

                                  I think you should return them and get the next size up.  Keep in mind I prefer a more comfortable, roomier fit (634 guy here) and I'm assuming you might be the same considering you went for a pair of 634's.  In my opinion they will shrink up too small and be way too uncomfortable once you soak them.  I don't like my jeans to be a painful experience and I don't like having to stretch my jeans much so keep that in mind as well.

                                    I totally side with "keep". If they fit you now, they will after a soak, ideally mold to your body and fit like just made for you.

                                    Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                                      thanks for all the replies folks. im thinking im going to exchange them…. however im gonna exchange them for either an 634xhs or the PIH5DCS. now i need to decide which. the idea of 25 ox denim is exciting. now i need to decide whether i want indigo indigo or xhs... ugh. input is welcome. @Giles is the 25 oz pronto denim similiar in feel to the 18 oz. is it as tight a weave?

                                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                                        I've broken the zip that attaches my Alpinestars leather jacket to my (also leather Alpinestars) trousers and need to fix them pretty quickly as I've a chance for a trackday on Monday.

                                        The current zip is plastic and I've always thought it a bit crappy and would like to upgrade it completely.
                                        Any suggestions on what I could buy? It's roughly 68cm in length for what it's worth.

                                          I would be inclined to do the Pronto collab.  Hard to say if 25 oz. double indigo will happen very often whereas the XHS is much more likely to be obtainable in the future.  Of course Giles can correct me on this if I'm wrong.

                                            I think you are making a mistake, if you struggled with the 18oz, then the 25oz will have you begging for forgiveness…..

                                            The 25oz is a slightly looser weave.
