IH-633S - Self Edge x Iron Heart 21oz Selvedge Straight Tapered

[Matt]

The point is kind of moot. This won’t be your only pair of IH denim.

[sabergirl]

Matt speaks the truth. Pretty sure that 888 or 633 is going to be the closest you can get to those measurements.

[goosehd]

Joining in to say the 888’s if sized correctly are your best bet. Personally I would take the current jeans back and trade them in on another pair.

[Matt]

Unless you really like them. Then just add some 888s in a different denim to your rotation.

@FireGX man, I think the 888 cut would be perfect for you. I'm looking at the 888Sib measurements, the 31 would give you a slimmer waist with room to stretch plus a bigger thigh. You could always order one and return it if you don't like the fit, but I have a feeling you will.

[FireGX]

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for the input. I've decided to return the 633s! I was able to try a pair of 888s locally (though not in the 21oz that I wanted) and the waist was snug but I could still get the top button done. I think the thigh to knee area should be good if I get the 21oz as well (the 14oz overdye I tried seemed a tad tighter on the legs, but this makes sense to me since the knee measurement is a bit smaller per IHUK website vs 21oz. The 14oz fabric may just be more rigid as well). The butt area on the pair I tried on seemed a touch on the slim side as well but perhaps it'll work out with a bit of wear, especially if I get the 21oz indigo fabric.

[Matt]

If everything is tighter maybe size up?

[popvulture]

I don't personally think that the thighs look too tight (imo they look pretty dead-on, actually) but I do agree with peeps that the waist looks too big. The 21oz is one of the most forgiving denims and stretches a lot, so it's not a bad thing at all if the waist feels tight when you first get em.

Also agree that the 888 is worth checking out. I'd go with IH's size chart over Self Edge's as a general rule, though.

[Matt]

Yeah, the SE size chart is not based on charts measured by IH or most of the people around here. You can’t use those #s as a basis for comparison.

[yuffington]

Anyone know if these will ever be available in overdye "B" version? Would LOVE this.

[goosehd]

@yuffington @kiya may/will know the answer to this one.

[sabergirl]

They have both the 14 and 18 oz denims in this cut, overdyed.

I want's the 21!!!! What can I say, it's glorious.

[Matt]

18 oz od is awesome.

[yuffington]

@Matt Ok. Perhaps I should seek these out.

[Matt]

I think they’re worth the investment. The old school 18 oz Beatle Buster were my FW23 main pair.

You may already know this but SE doesn’t measure the same way IH does. If you aren’t near one and can’t try them on you may want to check their How We Measure info on their website to make sure. Please let us know how you make out.

I don't know if my pair was mislabeled, but it's a tag 32 with a 34.2 inch waist...

The current measurements on SE seems more in line with the tag sizes, but it's definitely something to be aware of if anyone is looking for a pair of these on the secondary market.

[sabergirl]

Mike’s pair of tag 38 XHS 633 fit me much looser than the pair of 38 S I have in a 634. The cuts may be more different than just a taper.

[yuffington]

LOL.. tried, but failed to find 18oz OD. I'll keep my eye out for any future releases of 18 or 21oz OD in the 633! @kiya you're my only hope

Seems there’s a few sizes left?
