634s-uhr on the cyclocross podium

Fresh pair of 555 XHS and IHG-081-ORA. Posted in the 555 XHS thread for fit advice but after a wearing around the house for a spell I think these are perfect.

finally, the temps in chicago are perfect for the ihj-114-blk. also day 39 of the ih-634s-uhr.

364 days since the initial soak/machine wash. Roughly 300 wears? Lost count once it got hot out, but that’s a safe estimate. Denim is probably slightly damp in these pics from yesterday’s soak/machine wash. Thought the wash would take more indigo out of the denim tbh, but I don’t care… I love these so much. Stoked the temps are cooling off in Chicago and I can get back to daily wear.

Chuy loves the xmas tree

Mr Marr, unless my eyes deceive me?

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.

Chuy loves UHR as much as I do. Perfect for digging her toes in!

Just ordered a set of 666S SBG blind and nailed the sizing thanks to tips like these. Measured my 634S UHR the IH way and used those to guide my tag size in the 666. Looked at the waist, but also the thigh in particular since the 666 is a slimmer fit.

IH’s consistency in how a product is measured serves as a solid foundation for how to determine if a product is the right fit regardless of tag size. I’ve never encountered a company who is as helpful when it comes to sizing.

Saw a thread pop up about “cider” on the forum yesterday. Got inspired and bought a 6 pack. Consumed said 6 pack. Got buzzed enough to finally order the 555 XHS I’ve had sitting in a cart on an open tab on my browser. Let’s fn go!

bongripper - empty just arrived today

New Sunn 0))) arrived!

@Oaktavia the fade updates from the community are stellar. I love seeing the possibilities of the different fabrics and cuts. As a result, I change my mind constantly on what I want next because I’m always finding new inspo. Every time I see XHSib fades I want to get a pair!

I was explaining the finer points of my 634S-UHR to my wife yesterday (who was humoring me, undoubtedly) and she told me that I "gotta get some black ones now" which I translated as "I absolutely must purchase the 634S-SBG when they drop." Thanks, babe.

Day 1 with the 666. Love this fit. UHR have been benched for the season.

Managed to get all the buttons up! Have just over a flat hand’s width in the waist. About as tight as I’d go in the knee and calve. I know I’ll get some shrink in the legs after a soak, but if what I understand about XHS to be true, the areas under “stress” will stretch back out to pre-soak? If these stretch back out to this I think I’d be spot on.

875 + 666 = winning combination

Fresh build! My Ventum GS1 set up for road riding.

@jrb1975 I’m on day 11 with these and I’m obsessed with the fit. Coming from 634 I had concerns about the thigh, but measuring the IH way and comparing sizing charts made all the difference. Totally ignoring tag size and just looking at the measurements was the way. My 634 UHR are tag 32 and my 666 SBG are tag 34 and they both fit perfect. Stoked to get these grey fades!
