IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
5'11"/6' foot with about a 33" inseam
-
I'd say to hem 1-1.5 inches off of them. I'm the same height, and I chose to leave the original length on mine. They've gotten sort of chewed up in the back because they drag.
-
Thanks Chris, the 34" i have now don't drag but i measured a different pair and those are 35" and those drag alittle bit and go under my foot.
Whats your inseam?
-
About the same- usually around 33-34". Back when I bought mine, Giles didn't offer hemming, so I just left them full length, rather than sending them off to someone else to do the work. I won't do that any more- I like to make Giles work extra for my cash.
-
Thanks Giles.
but are you saying that so you don't have to work.

I just wanted to say that, after lurking here for awhile and reading all about sizing and whatnot, I pulled the trigger and bought a pair of 634s' from Self Edge's online shop. They arrived today and I put 'em on about two hours ago. I don't want to put on a different pair of jeans or pants ever again.
Great fit. These things are incredible.

^Congrats, RedOak… Yeah, IH specializes in ruining other brands forever.
They certainly do. I take delight in IH. Nothing does, can, will come close to it. Only well made things endure, this is Iron Heart.

i found the original length of my elephant 2. they were 34" new. Since this would be my first iron heart denim im going to ask Giles to ship the shortest ones they have. I don't want to be stuck with jeans I can't return. And if they are too long i could just send them somewhere to get hemmed.

Hi everyone I am new to this forum but not new to ironheart. I have a pair of 634s that I've been wearing the past 6 months and I think that it is getting ready for its first wash. How much shrinkage if any, can I expect for the inseam? I have the jeans hemmed to the perfect length and want to avoid shrnkage there if possible. Would hanging the jeans upside down to dry help?

I need a little sizing advice. I wore my 634S in 34 for the first time yesterday and again today. When I put them on, they fit in the waist about perfectly. What I am wondering is, if they fit perfectly right now should I sell them and get a 33? I know they will relax some in the waist. Any advice would be appreciated.

They'll stretch in some, but not as much as a pair sized down. Essentially the more stress put on the fabric the more it will stretch. There are plenty of people on this board that will advise you not to size down. I'd wager there are at least as many who'd advise you to size down. Sorry if it doesn't make three decision any easier for you. A pic might help with the advice.
