100° outside but the shirt ain’t coming off. So stoked.

Recently got into both ship John and iron heart. Really liking this Ramblin jacket, can’t wait for cooler weather so I can wear it and my first pair of 634’s I ordered!

Did some chorin today in the 90° weather. She’s loosenin up nicely.

Post soak, first day of wear. The waist is great. Little pull up now and then just like any denim. Thanks for the insights @goosehd ! I’m enjoying them. Don’t think I’ve had a high rise since I was a kid, so getting used to them is interesting, but love the fit.

Jack 10 and a Brickhouse. Saturdays are for little work, drink and a smoke and enjoying your IH purchases you got this week from saving up your nickels.

@dirtyframer that’s how you do it!

@goosehd That’s sounds about right, appreciate it! Life can be unforgiving, at least a pair of good relaxed jeans doesn’t have to be. Looking forward to them quite a bit. Didn’t want to miss out on the UHR run, this denim looks exceptional. Only other option for me was the 634’s that are gone now, can’t roll with the skinny/ slim 5’s and 7’s coming out next week.

@leathergato I hear you. I’ve been wearing it everyday since, not all day, and it’s starting to fit more like a glove. I try to keep in mind that, apart from the slimmer cut, the heavier fabric is in part what’s making it feel so restrictive. I’m guessing as it gets softer it’ll be more relaxed. And it has started to show that already. Also, it just depends on how you are planning on styling it. If you want layered or buttoned up primarily to fit like a jacket, it might not ever be exactly what you want, but as a shirt with a tank underneath, partially buttoned, there’s no other shirt that is going to look as sick as this one. That’s what I got it for, so even if it’s a little snug, that’s what I intended.

@goosehd Understood. Gave them a warm washer cycle last night. It def got the rest of the shrink out of them.

I bought both the duck and the blue mamba to wear them as shirts rather than shackets. (Indigo in medium, duck in L) 175 6’1”. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for me.

@Cymro thanks!

@Cymro hey, I just bought some 1955 od’s. In this fit did you get them hemmed? I’m kinda liking the bright stitching opposed to the stained hem it comes with

In the sample pictures, are they hemmed, which is making the yellow thread so bright because new stitching? @Alex

@Alex just re read your first post and read it a little wrong the first time. The original measurement of the 634’s were 32.5. Now they stretched to a 33”. So I’m still assuming that if I get a 31.9, they’ll stretch to at least a 32.5, but would be fine because the waist fit opposed to the hip fit

@Alex that’s awesome Alex. Thank you. But going off of what you just said, anywhere around 32 would probably be money.

@Alex thanks for clearing that up. That definitely added to my original confusion on how to size these being that they are high wasted. Would you say that I could get away with a 31.9 (size 32) if I currently have a well fitting 634s that’s sized 32.5 since these have a higher rise?

@twinning Rudi should be wearing a 32 at most. 34 is crazy. I think the sizing confusion for this pair might make me skip it at this point. Ha

Excited for these. have a sizing question if anyone wants to chime in. I comfortably were a 33” waist measurement. I could wear a touch smaller but not too much. Would you go with the 31.9 and hope for the one inch of stretch or go with the 33.3 and hope it doesn’t get too loose in the waist? Or is this a pass because it won’t work. I have have a 32.5” 634 that eventually stretched to to a 33; that works well for reference.

Has a high rise straight leg with no taper, or at the very least the hem of 634, ever been made?

@kojimastreets Congrats! Olmec is for the victorious. Have a great weekend
