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

[yannis]

You can soak them. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect any shrinkage just from a soak. Lots of people soak their jeans to get the creases set.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@yannis right I’m not going to soak them

[Mindfulbiscuit]

Received the 633 21oz today from self edge and yeah the fit is spot on size 32 measured the same as my 634 32 does have taper but not as extreme as I thought I chain stitched inseam 28 and hems around 7.5 will put some fit pictures soon

[Mindfulbiscuit]

Here a couple pictures even though the waist is not snug the rise is perfect so I couldn’t size down

[Perpetual_beta]

size down? they look too tight right now (whole pelvic area under stress), but should be good since they will give about an inch.

666 won't work because of thighs. 888 you likely won't like because of rise.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@Perpetual_beta to be honest the 666 I usually size up to 33 tag because the thigh is so tight and low rise and to be honest the 888 our the perfect fit in a 32 and I love the longer rise and thigh and taper,the 633 reminds me of the 888 taper and the 634 these our quit spacious in the waist area pelvic area isn’t tight our uncomfortable maybe the just look it

@Mindfulbiscuit What do you see as the difference between the 888 and 633?

[yannis]

@Mindfulbiscuit..on paper the difference between the 633 and 888 will be the rise, with the 888 having a higher back rise and maybe slightly higher front rise and the taper that in the 888 it starts at mid thigh vs the 633 that starts at the knee. Again I said theoretically because I do not not own a 633. I have 634's and 888's. The 633 it suppose to be a 634 with a taper starting at the knee to hem.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@m4xime more taper from the knee on the 888 and also longer rise on the 888,to me very much a 633 is a 634 with a nice taper you only get the stronger taper if the hem is not hemmed

[Perpetual_beta]

@Mindfulbiscuit makes complete sense. I also have to size up 666 to make them work in the thighs but then the waist gets to wide. So I don't bother with those anymore and stick with 633/4 and 888. Interested in trying the 1955 though - any experience with them?

[yannis]

If you are a 634/33/888 guy the 1955 will work also. It has a high rise like the 888 and maybe a bit higher and the taper is similar to the 633 I think, as the knee measurement of the 1955 is wider than the 888.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@yannis yeah I like the 555 fit better than the 666 I size up to a 33 which helps thigh and calf and 777 the same thing 33 is Perry on me in the low style

[m4xime]

@Mindfulbiscuit Ok that makes sense, I think I'll still go ahead with the 888 to start with as I can try it on in R&H rather than getting something posted from SE

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@m4xime that’s a better bet I really like the 888 they have a great taper but still comfortable, I really like this cut but t rise is on the low side for me but I like the taper,on the other hand I do like to try different fits to make my denim experiences more interesting

[meatmarketdenim1]

@Mindfulbiscuit
Look great man. Think may try the 633 for my next pair, love my 634s and self edge.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@meatmarketdenim1 thanks the denim is so

[m4xime]

@Mindfulbiscuit Thanks that's useful to know. I'm looking for something between my PBJ XX013 and the 3Sixteen CS-100X so comparing lots of measurements I think the 888 might be best for me. Will go to R&H when they have a restock and try them on and see

[yannis]

@m4xime . I don't know how the 3Sixteen fits but the PBJ xx013 is miles different from the 888. The PBJ is must slimer though out the whole leg for the same tag size. Also the xx013 has a lowish rise... The 888 is also looser fitting than the xx019 also which is PBJ version of a higher rise taper.

[m4xime]

@yannis Yes you're 100% correct, I don't want to derail this thread too much but below is the difference between the PBJ and 3S and I think the IH 888 will be somewhere in the middle essentially

[yannis]

The best advice I can give you is, measure both pairs the Iron Heart way and then compare the measurements to the 888 chart for the tag size that you are looking into getting. The Iron Heart size chart are very accurate. You can always email the Iron Heart crew and they can find you an 888 with your ideal measurements or as close as.possible.
