IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[ronaldlsh]

Guys, I need help in sizing these. I've got Skulls 5010xx in tag sz 36. It was tight at the thighs and waist initially, but it managed to stretched out. And now I'm able to remove the jeans without undoing any of the buttons. I pretty much like the fit now. Should I go for tag sz 36 on 634S? I see that they measure rather small on the waist.

Def. a 36…the waist is gonna be tight to begin with - but after a couple of wears u´ll be fine. A 38 would be super loose !

[Giles]

they'll stretch an inch in the waist with wear.  Take a look here:

Thanks beatle.

And btw, is 21oz even wearable in asia? I'm in singapore and it's like 96degrees last week. I plan to get the 634S-B once it's out.

speak to Stan - he is in Far East and he wears his 634SR out there.  The 21oz 634S denim is very breathable, so does not feel too hot at all…G

Been  wearing 634sr straight  for 2 month already,just wash it last week. Mainly wearing it to the office and elsewhere,i don't do any heavy duty stuff with it, not for now at least.  It,s  cotton and  i,m feeling comfy with it.

I recently bought a pair of IH 634S size 28 and they fit literaly "skin tight" will they stretch significantly?

I normally wear a 29 in other brands such as APC or Levis 501.

Thanks.

They will stretch no question and quickly too.

[Beatle]

oh..they have to be painful..apc usually runs pretty big - if u wear those in a 29 ur prob. a true 30…
Ur IH will stretch - but for future purchases I would recommend at least a 29...

[Michel]

Yes, they are a bit painful, but beautiful. I will try your advice in future denim purchases.

The good thing is that once stretched they will convey a nice slim cut look.

[Dchill]

good luck with that michel, those sound brutal.  You should post a few pics.

[Michel]

I've been wearing them already for about 3 days and I feel a very subtle stretch already. In two weeks I will post pictures.

If the 28 W stretches the 1-2 inches I need these will be my favorite jeans. The quality is superb.

Problem is that when you wash them they will always shrink a little bit again and the pain starts all over.

[Beatle]

looking forward to seeing them - great purchase*

Who said anything about washing them. If anything I will wait 6 month before any washing.

[Beatle]

that´s right..6 months is a good time frame *

OK. But even after six months they will shrink. Make sure you do a cold wash. Stretch them well while they are still wet. That may help.

I hear the freezer method and frequent airing out can prevent odors.

In my experience, they'll shrink a tad but stretch right back out again.  The only noticeable "shrinkage" over time is in the leg length as the creases behind the kneee do not drape like lighter weight denim, so they tend to ride a bit…G

I like that look. Orange is one of my favorite colors, actually my favorite. Ideally you'd have something else in orange on you, e.g. socks or a watch bracelet. I always like to create little color echos or even clashes. Nothing too contrived, though. That would kill the refinement. The pose is cool, too.
