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

[Kasi]

Will be getting a pair on Saturday 634 way to go

[68degreesorless]

@popvulture I hear you. I just don’t want high rise. I can’t pull them up that high without feeling uncomfortable. I like em to sit below the belly. 634 with a little more thigh and knee room would be the dream for me personally. But 634 is still best stock cut I’ve found without going custom so I’ll shut up and wear em for now.

Hope your new pair works out great. Be cool to see where everyone’s at on these in the coming months and years.

I’m gonna rotate mine so not expecting any earth shattering fades quickly. But also planning to limit washing and wash carefully when I do need to (given marbling potential) so that may help.

@the246guy wore mine today with faded ihsh 33 OD and liked my look! If you contrast the colors, it barely even registers as double denim!

[popvulture]

@68degreesorless ha, I needed to hear this. Makes me realize everybody’s got their different wishes for the ideal pair. Maybe I’ll stop needling Giles and Alex now. Maybe.

[popvulture]

Just got a chance to try my 35s on and they fit great. I do think the waist could be smaller, but I think everywhere else in the top block would be too tight had I sized down to a 34.

Also funny that after wearing XHS for more than a year, these feel rather light 🪶

[the246guy]

After wearing this for a day, I decided to soak it for about 15 minutes and it came out real stiff. Stiffer than the 634 S 21. Now starts the breaking in. I will now wear my IH denim shirts with this. Super excited!

[Leadley]

Tossing up between these and the 14BB, any notable differences between them apart from the weight?

[popvulture]

@Leadley the 14oz denim isn’t bad by any stretch, but if you want the definitive Iron Heart experience, I think the vast majority of folks around here will tell you the heavier stuff is the way to go.

Beyond just being sort of the spirit of the brand, the heavier denim just bunches up and creases in a way that creates the most interesting fades. Plus the 21oz denim in particular is very comfortable and soft. I’d describe the 14oz I’ve owned as being a bit more rigid. Hope that helps!

Edit PS my apologies if you already knew all that and I sounded like some sanctimonious jeans dweeb haha…

[Leadley]

@popvulture haha not at all, appreciate the insight. 21 could be the way…

Looking for a fit check on these. Tag 32 in a 32” waist. Feels good in the waist. Not tight or loose and I can sit comfortably. Just not sure if I should size down or keep these.

[flannel slut]

@bluemantra +1 on keeping. They look great

[endo]

fit spot-on @bluemantra if 634 is your cut then this is your size

[AdamJ]

@bluemantra fit looks good, once you get some wear in to them they will start to drape nicely too

[Fadez]

Keep them @bluemantra The fit is spot on! Well done

[Tobi]

@bluemantra agree on fit good to keep. You seem to have the option to try more tapered and slimer fits, so that is the option if you find the 634 a bit wide in the legs ..

[popvulture]

@bluemantra add me to the long list of agrees. Great looking jeans on you!

[bluemantra]

Thank you for all the wonderful replies. I’ll be send these in for hemming. I do have the 777 and 666 as well for slimmer fit, but wanted the original classic 634 as well. It is the most comfortable for sure.

[jiminstitches]

@bluemantra perfect fit
