Thanks, it feels a bit long when sitting but opening side gussets help. I'll have to try it on with more than just a t-shirt also but in picture there seems to be quite much room in the back.

Yet another fit pic type of question. First impression is that it's bit too roomy at least with only t-shirt. On the other hand I'm afraid I can't loose any sleeve length as I planned to use it for riding also.

All feedback is welcome!

Good reminder that I should give some tlc to mine before heading up north for a vacation. You can't go wrong with Meind boots.

Long wait ended finally…

Thanks Giles and Paula!

Has the eagle landed?

Not a day too soon.

@Giles:

634S restock (inc 36) going to be delivered here today…...

Sounds good! That six days estimate you gave was pretty acurate then.

Obviously too much time and nothing better to do while waiting for restock I've been been looking a lot of pics of IH-634S. I was sure to put my order in as soon as 36" is available,  but now I'm a bit concerned about the rear pockets being quite wide apart from each other on the larger sizes.

Anyone with a photo of 36" from behind?

Thanks guys! My swedish needs rehearsal quite badly but I won't bother you with it. 

@Seul:

You wouldn''t say… 

Haha, I was surprised to see how much I had to say. But after browsing the forum more I realised that the post could have been splitted to several threads like jeans history and where are you from.

Welcome!.. And yes: you should go true to size on a pair of 634s'es!..

Thanks, I allready made some measurements and I'm convinced that 36" is right size.

Hi to everybody and spring greetings from Finland,

I decided to register after Giles pointed me here for more information about IH. I've been reading forum only a day, but it seems to be great source for IH and denim in general. I'm more of a reader than a writer so I'm not running for the top poster title but I'll bet there will be couple of questions to post at least.

I'm quite new to raw denim and all new to heavyweight denim which I seek after in IH. But denim in general has been a part of my life over two decades and I still remember my first pair of Levis 501 back in late eighties. I know I had some jeans way before those but thats the first pair I remember and they led the way for many pairs to follow. Around mid nineties I started using Diesel and after that I've had a lot of jeans from different companies and models. Some basic and some designer jeans, some baggy fits but mostly regulars just sized up to be little loose.

What I love in jeans is their versatility. To me it means I can wear jeans seven days a week. From office to park, from park to party and everything in between. Only sports and playing with the kids at home makes me wear something else. Of cource those jeans are in different stages in their lifecycle and are worn in different occasions by my not so systematic system. About five years ago I realised that i had way too many jeans so I stopped bying new. It was ok but last fall and winter were very cold and I found out that all my jeans started to be in the end of their life. Thin very worn denim with repairs and holes waiting for repair. Boy those were chilly. Getting first new pair was easy, Levis 505 was familiar model and all I really wanted was solid dark blue shade. Those just happend to be selvedge and that led for a little googling. In few weeks I had a new pair of Edwins and A.P.C. Now I think I'm ready for a pair of IH-634S. They should be restocked in a week or so. That gives more time to read the forum and make up my mind with sizing.

Special thanks to Giles for fastest email replies I remember and also guiding me here.

Cheers,

nilsson
