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

[Bob]

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.

@blackcap:

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: 32

which 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.

Thanks!!! 4 (??) washes and no soaks. I washed this pair before wearing, not like my first pair of 634S´s, and IMO the stitching lasts longer and the crotch-blowout needed more time.

Restocked…
