Hello Forum!
I am new to the Iron Heart community and am curious about the 634s .
I am a bigger guy and am looking into purchasing these great looking jeans but am curious about the fit.
Do the 634s fit closely to 501s? These are the best fit on me so far.
I am a 42 x 32 usually. and my levis have stretched to around a 43.5 ish. I want the jeans to not look too baggy and have a good fit. Thanks for any and all imput.

You probably can't compare a 42W fit to my 32W fit, but I can give you my observations from wearing 634s for a few days.  Sizing down one to 31W resulted in a very tight fit.  I struggled mightily with the last button at first, but it's starting to loosen up already.  It's still going to be a tight fit for some time and will likely remain fairly tight for as long as I own them.

As far as the rest of the fit, the jeans ride fairly high on the waist and is fairly tight in the crotch for now.  I have a 32in inseam and had the jeans hemmed to 33in.  This in retrospect is a little too short and I probably would have gone down to just 33.5in or kept them at 34in.  The thickness of the denim means that every slight fold shortens the inseam more than usual.  Eventually I'll have to wear my pair uncuffed  or with minimal cuffs…or sag them a little bit.

634s generally won't be baggy worn true to size and definitely wont sized down 1.

@simacho:

thanks there mate  :).. mm im thinking bout hem cause as you can see the inseam is still too long.. and actually this is size 32 and im usually use size 31 jeans.. im planning to hot soak it too, do you guys think its a good idea?

Your jeans don't look too long to me.  You can always cuff them one inch and show off the selvedge, but from the look of it you might not even need to do that.

I just got a pair of IH-634s and they are ball-bustingly tight in the crotch.  They were 31Wx34L hemmed down to 33L.  I normally wear 32W TTS, but the guy at Self Edge SF said I should size down to 31W.  Otherwise I think they fit well everywhere else… How's this look?

Excuse the pose…it's an in-joke (maybe someone will get the reference.)
