After a few days these are becoming one of my favorite jeans ever. I love how the fabric feels and I really like the fit of these for a slightly more relaxed silhouette. I’ve mostly worn slimmer cuts before but I have a pair of the 21oz 634’s, which are significantly wider below the knee. I like the fit of these 18oz 634’s a lot more.

I got mine the other day too. Super happy with the fabric and the fit.

@RocknRoll It’s a great summer denim. I have a pair 18oz 777 but I’m thinking it would be nice with a slightly more relaxed fit.

@goosehd Compared to the previous batch (with measurements now replaced with the new batch measurements), at least sizes 32 and 33 seem to differ a bit regarding at least back rise and hem width (with the current measurements indicating a lower rise and slightly wider hem). I may be wrong, I checked the measurements a couple days ago so I may remember incorrectly.

There seems to be a pretty big difference for sizes 32 and 33 at least, not sure about the other sizes though (since they’re usually not relevant to me, ). But I’m aware there are lots of factors affecting how they come out.

Were these made with a different pattern compared to the previous batch?

@AdamJ I've been eyeing the 633 cut lately, really wish it was available in Europe...

Got mine too. It’s not what I expected, it’s better. Pictures do not do this shirt justice. Instant favorite here too.

I’m hoping for a future restock with a slimmer silhouette, or a regular western version without the pockets. If you want a western style shirt in work shirt dimensions, this is the shirt to get. The fabric is really nice.

Here are the measurements for my tag size 32’s pre/post wash:

Centimeters:
Waist 85.5 / 82.5
FR 27 / 26.5
RR 39,5 / 39
Thigh 31 / 29.5
Knee 20 / 18.9
Hem 19.3 / 18.7
Inseam 82.5 / 82

Converted to inches:
Waist 33.7 / 32.5
FR 10.6 / 10.4
RR 15.6 / 15.4
Thigh 12.2 / 11.6
Knee 7.9 / 7.5
Hem 7.6 / 7.4
Inseam 32.5 / 32.3 (stretched when wet)

So quite substantial shrinking width wise and almost no shrinking length wise. They came out significantly tighter than pre wash but I managed to stretch the thigh and knee back out almost all the way. And the waist stretched back out too.

Haha received mine today. I can't belive how much stiffer they are compared to the regular XHS. Looking awesome though. Before and after soaking/washing measurements coming tomorrow.

@Slash Gentle cycle, no spin. Safest option unless you don't mind marbling.
Getting mine today too it seems.

@Slash If they are anything like the regular XHS they will stretch back out and then some.

@Ross Thank you!

I just realized I might need one of these. Any info on the next restock of these @ShopatIronHeart?

Just soak them and hang to dry, no need to wear them wet. They will stretch where they need to, it might take a couple days but the results will be better.

I tried both a L and a XL in a store and unfortunately, it's not for me. L was snug over the shoulders, chest, and a little short. XL was good over the shoulders and the sleeves were actually not that bad. Way too big waist and opening for me though, and the pockets made that more pronounced. And still on the shorter side. I think it will fit someone with a little sturdier frame than I have.
The fabric is great, really thick and sturdy but still soft.

Hoping for a regular western version in the future!

Thank you so much for the effort with the pictures! Is this a shirt/fabric we may see return in the future?

@JoshC Thank you, I really appreciate it. I think the fabric looks amazing and this is the shirt I really wanted from the spring/summer collection.
Maybe it's more pronounced for the M and L sizes, which usually fit me well, than the larger sizes. I may have to size up to XL in this, for shoulder width and length, but that might make it too big in the waist, opening, and sleeves. Difficult decision!
