IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Hmmm, 36 sounds about right, but the thighs are still 13.5 and usually the thighs won't stretch much. The waist will stretch if you apply pressure. They are sanforized, so won't shrink, when you wash them they will snug up a little and go back to where they were. Seems like sizing up to 38 would be too baggy.
Did you look at/consider the 1955S? The waist is 36 and thigh is 14.2, but they have more taper form the knee (slightly bigger knee and smaller leg opening) than the 634S. That might be a better cut for you with the bigger thigh.
thanks for that @bluegrass thats the direction i was headed in anyway but its good to get confirmation that im on the right track

Break-the-needle-though patch?

@injunjack Would be interested in your opinion as regards IH selvedge versus non-selvedge. What are the "look and feel" differences? Thanks.
I got me only 2 at the mo, but will be gettin' 21/23's. Thinking of getting non-selvage…. I like my 461 nonselvage sooo much

I understand then, thank you. Non-selvedge IH 21-oz denim has the same utility as the selvedge version, but less character.
(On a different subject, the heavy selvedge comprising my 634XHS, seems smoother and more uniform than the selvedge denim in a friend's 634S. It is not just a weight difference. Neither is "better" to me, both are fantastic in their own rights, but they are quite different denims.)

I have the non-selvedge black 1634 which I have started wearing again. As Giles said the denim is super smooth, soft, and has a little gloss to it. I would even say it was softer than the traditional 21oz out of box. From my experience, the black is hard wearing and slowwwww fading but it might just be me.

hi all,
looking at diving into the world of high quality denim but i dont want to mess it up and scare myself off it for life. my biggest requirement from a pair of jeans is freedom of movement because i basically live in a tent and the most expensive thing i own is a motorcycle. im always either crawling around on the ground or climbing up onto the bike. additionally, i have big thighs. my current pair of levis measure up like this:
waist: 36
Front rise: 11
Rear rise: 16.5
Thigh: 13.5
Knee: 9.5
Hem: 9
Inseam: 32which are perfect, except for the thighs which are almost skin tight which is a problem when squatting down. my question is, will the 634S end up as restrictive as my current jeans? or if i upsize to a 36, will the waist stay at 36 while the thighs stretch out a little, or will the whole thing stretch out reasonably uniformly?
Measure your current jeans, I went from a 34 levis, which was really nearer 35 when measured. Wearing a 36 634S, they fit great. Have washed them, no shrinkage.

Still nothing but positive (to me) descriptions of the non-selvedge version. And it's less expensive. Interesting.
