IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Resounding defeat for my beloved 555

[sabergirl]

@AdamJ:

634 superior to the 555? Scandalous! 

I didn’t necessarily mean better ALWAYS. Just this particular fit.

However, I can’t fit into a 555 very well, so for me 634 is where it’s at.

Agreed the 634 looks better. You're probably used to denim fitting tighter so it looks off, but you might find that having a less tight pair in the rotation is a comfortable option.

@Dmart:

It’s the best cut anyways 

yes!

I hot washed and dried my 634s.  They didn’t explode.  Go for it.

So they didn’t explode on you, is your washing machine a bomb

Thank you all! I will wash and dry them and see, Matt how did you dry them inside out I assume? Also I’m hoping to avoid marbling did you have any issues with that?

@sabergirl:

I think that 634 is the better fit of the two. Blasphemous to some, but do a hot machine wash, and then tumble dry to get more shrink if you want. Just make sure they’re inside out, and soaked through before the wash cycle. Probably should avoid the spin cycle, as well, though I’ve never bothered.

They will shrink primarily in length with the hot wash after previous soak and warm wash. You may loose another inch in length.
Speaking from 3+ decades of 501 stf.

Well that did it, washed HOT and then in the dryer alone inside out for 30 mins. They fit perfect. The soak before the wash was critical again HOT only and in the sink. They fit well, not as baggy and believe the shrink is now out. Love the softness and feel!

Not meant to put in dryer..
Killing the lifespan of the jeans.

But then again it your Jeans…
Feel free

Totally agree and understand I have never dried my RAWs before and have had a lot of them. It fixed the situation for me let’s see how they hold up. Appreciate everyone’s help, as always

If you don't get any marbling then you are in the clear. There's nothing to worry about.

[a.aron]

No marbling at all I checked every 5 mins to make sure there was nothing, they look perfect and fit great! Was very delicate and let's say 100% of the shrink is out now

I’ve tumble-dried every pair of iron hearts I’ve ever had, and my first pairs are still going strong over 10 years later. [mention]Kasi [/mention] is being dramatic [emoji6]

Went with the 634's…I don't think that the 666's are going to work (it's super close) and really glad that they will be in continuous production.  At some point, I may go for them.

When @Giles tries these on can we get a sizing?  33?  34?  (Good to be here this morning.  It's been some time, with family obligations–-the good kind, daughter's wedding, and other things.  I have some catching up to do!)

Those boots would look Boss in purple…..
