634s-uhr on the cyclocross podium

@indigo_nico
in a previous like i was a bike messenger in chicago, “indigo” was my radio handle. seems oddly fitting here now. that life gave way to a professional cycling career eventually where i raced all over the world with a red bull helmet on. these days i still race, but less competitively and work in marketing for a cycling component company. in between race seasons i toured extensively playing guitar in a rock and roll band, and on occasion still make noise in front of an audience. i have great admiration for makers of quality things, which is how i wound up here.

RE: IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
pulled the trigger on some 634s-uhr and i am beyond stoked on these!
the cuffs are huge, yes, but i dig the style. will likely get them hemmed at some point, but i love a big ol' rockabilly cuff.
since this forum was a huge help in finding the right fit for me, below are my pre and post soak/wash measurements done the IH way... (in inches with silly american fractions haha)

Spent a weekend in Zell am see at a cycling event I sponsored for work and kicked it with Ferdi Porsche on the Großglockner. Drove me up the mountain in the GT3 RS and down in the 911 Dakar. Awesome weekend of fast bikes and fast cars.

@VVV my wife and I saw them do a free show outdoor show a few blocks from our place at the Logan Square Monument in Chicago back in 2015. they played "into ruin" from miserable and stretched it way the f out. it was so good. we twisted up a few fat ones and got stupid high and they steamrolled right over us.

@scooter Scott and I had a band in the mid 2010’s where we basically just ripped off The Faces. Someday we’ll get around to releasing the record we made haha

RE: IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
curious to know how these stretch vs UHR. my tag 32 UHR went from 33.25" in the waist to 32.25" after the initial soak/wash. after about a year of wear, roughly 290 days (lost count once i stopped wearing daily in the hotter months) they are at about 34" in the waist. currently getting their first wash (long overdue, i know.) anyway, looking for a new pair to fade this fall/winter and XHS is high up on the list, but i'm wondering if i could expect similar stretch with XHS as my UHR. i love how the UHR fit right now and it looks like a tag 33 in XHS would get me a similar fit as my UHR. for those of you with both, do you size up for XHS?

RE: IH-634S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - SBG
Almost a year into my first pair of IH denim (634S-UHR) and been looking for a good excuse to get pair number two. Patiently anticipating this drop!
