@Giles one more question, have you ever vetoed an idea by Haraki-san that you thought wasn't any good? Or does Haraki-san decide what stays and what goes? Just curious if your relationship with him allows you to say, 'man, that's a horrible idea.'

Yes often…...and often we'll have a conversation like this:

H - "I'm doing this shirt"
G - 'Western or work?"
H - You choose"
G - "OK, Work.  Metal or black buttons?"
H -  "You choose"

S - "Black Metal buttons"

G - "Piss off pigman, who asked you…..."

Helloo,
been lurking here for a long time
& finally joined the forum.

Thing is,
I have trouble choosing my size on 634S & 634Z.

Since I do not own any rigid jeans, I don't have any pair of jeans to reference accurately.
I've tried with my old jeans that contain elastin, and waist size was 19~19.5 x 2 = 38~39 (inch)
But as I mentioned, it is elastic. So, I guess I should go bigger than 39?
My widest waist circumference is 40.5 inch.
I usually wear 34 in other jeans with elastin but I know for sure that's because they stretch.
But we're talking about super rigid raw denim right here.

So, what do you guys think I should do?
Should I take 38 or 40 or maybe… 42?

Looking forward to hearing some wisdom from you guys.

Thanks a million

38. They'll stretch out at the waist.

[dodgemycar]

Thanks for your quick answer.

Yeah, I guess 38 will be fine.

One more thing,
Is it normal that a jean size from different companies differ this much(as much as 4-6inches)?
I didn't realize how fat I am until I measured my waist to buy this iron heart denim.

Guess I'll have to eat less and workout even more!

Designer labels tend to vanity size instead of sizing by measurements.

[dodgemycar]

You're right.

Thanks for your reply!

[neph93]

The 21oz used on the 634S is quite forgiving and can stretch up to 2" with wear. They maybe uncomfortable for the first week but you'll be golden after that. Go for a W40 and you'll be annoyed at the loose waistband after a week.

[dodgemycar]

Alright.

38 it is then.

Thanks for making it clear!

No probs. One more thing, if you're ordering from IHUK then get in touch and ask them to measure a few of the W38's. Waist measurement can vary on individual jeans so W38 that comes in at 37.2" may be a problem for you, but a W38 that comes in at 38.4" may be perfect.

@Giles I think I already know the answer to this but i'll ask anyways. Do you ever get Instagram 'influencers' who ask for free shwag? Do you basically tell them to take a flying f*ck through a rolling donut?

To the point of infuriation.
