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

Why: do people in Gosport pay considerably more for handjobs given by ginger, bald, old cunts?..
The same reasons Belgians do?

Long-time lurker but first-time poster saying hello!
I purchased a pair of 634S from Hinoya last April, but haven't worn them due to too much denim in the rotation. I did a cold soak over the weekend – i wanted to get rid of the creases -- and I'm wearing them for the first time today. Just love the feel and fit!

Alright gang,
About to order these in 31 waist which are perfect. I have measured every pair of jeans and work pants I own and most are 32-33 inches (in various states of wear, some haven't been washed in ages). I have one pair which measures 31 and I can button and is tight but not uncomfortable. Will the 634S stretch beyond 32? Or, god forbid, shrink under 31?
Also, 12 inches is the smallest I can wear in the thigh so hopefully that won't shrink.
Pending your advice, I'll email IH to find their smallest hem and then pull the trigger. Thanks.

Our latest video featuring the 634S and @PattyCakez 's last run out as the star.

the 634s looks great on @PattyCakez - I almost prefer it to the slim fits!

Once or twice a year, I see a fit of someone in the 634S and it reminds me that there should be a pair in my closet. Two versions of the fit appeal to me most: 1. Worn very snug, with a slight break at the hem 2. Worn fairly relaxed with a thick cuff. I believe the snug version hints more at the inspiration of the cut, with a nod to Levis of the 60s (1966 model) while the looser fit large cuff give it more of a vintage/heritage feel. Both look fantastic on the right people, and once again proves why the 634 is the flagship model.
Not sure if or how I could achieve either fit, but it's always on my radar…
-
@Bluegrass - yeah, I figured I need to own the Flagship model in the flagship denim. Been wearing a lot of 9" leg opening jeans lately, so if I size the top block snug, I think the silhouette will be great for me still.
-
Ok. Decided my next Jean purchase will be these for spring/summer.
To help sway me between the 35 and the 36, anyone drop 1 size below their normal IH size on these?
I'm sure there are, just asking for advice.

The 21 oz is easy to stretch, more so than any other IH denim, I'd estimate. You should be able to drop a size without problem.
I bought my default size in these, though, so discount my opinion as you see fit.
-
I usually get 36s in IH gear, but it's because of my thighs. THighs in a 35 should be fine and a stretch to 36-36.5 would be ideal, which I saw easily on my old 301s.
I'll see how the tax man is to me in the coming months and see what happens haha

@Appfaff I always buy my normal size in the 634s and in my case it is snug and stretches to a comfortable level. I would be miserable if I sized down. I'd look closely at the measurements - as you know well, sometimes the waist sizing is more generous than others. You said you wanted a ~9" opening, that would be a 34 or 35 in the 634S - if you can squeeze in one of those you might be happy.
By the way, seeing that video got me to bust out my 634S today, and I got re-acquainted with how much I like this cut and this fabric. Get the cuff just right and length, and it is so good. I don't like wider leg jeans/chinos worn too long. Plus you show off your fine boots!
-
I agree - probably the best cut for showing off the wescos!

@Appfaff I sized down on my 634s 21oz and unfortunately it doesn't work for me so I would not recommend it. Of course everyone is different but just my two cents. After about 6 or 7 washes I can still easily button them and fit in to them but they are just too snug in the top block and thighs to move around comfortably. I could probably easily wear them and stretch them out but I'm not in that camp. I like my jeans to be comfortable and to require little to no stretching. I like my waist and thighs to fit comfortably loose out of the bag. I like to be able to squat in them comfortably. I can't do that with these.
I wore mine for about 9 months back when I first got them and they are actually looking fantastic as far as fades and wear go, but in that time I've made some more gains in my glutes and quads so that combined with the little bit of shrinkage that's occured from washing has made them too snug for comfort.

thanks for the feedback @manufc10 - i think JNCOs would be the only jeans I could actually squat in haha
- well, maybe that's a bit strong but they're pretty good. And your observation on fit is spot on imo…
