IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Palmer]

Ordered. Thankfully Franklin and Poe had a 38 left. Hope they fit!

I received these jeans in the mail today. I can't believe I hadn't tried the 634 yet! Love this cut. I can't way to wear these when it cools down a bit more. Compared to the 666-XHS that I was wearing these are a huge relief lol.

lol glad you like them dude! It'd be great to see some fit pics when you're able.

@Palmer let's see some photos!

After a nearly two year hiatus (because I got too fat) I finally squeezed back into my 25oz jeans. It wasn't necessarily a comfortable day, but I did it! 

[Oaktavia]

Wooo!

I posted this pic in the WAYWT thread but wanted to post here too. I really love the 634. Not too loose and not too slim. As soon as I bought these I found a pair of like new 634-B on eBay and got them too.

I can see why you like them, @Palmer: they look great on you. Nice to be able to breathe a bit with a straighter cut, huh?

I experienced XHS for the first time. This is a very unusual and funny feeling. There is one day of experience.

There are strange folds on the butt. But even if it will look so awkward, I always have where to apply it anyway.

@kornnn the jeans will settle and mould with wear. They will also shrink a little with a wash/soak, creating a tighter fit. When you wear them afterwards they will stretch with the movement of your body and mould even better.

Looks a good fit for you.

Thanks. I'm not too worried about the look of these jeans. The usefulness of the durable material compensates for any potential drawbacks. Well, this is also the droll thing in my wardrobe. Maybe I'll buy the indigo black one someday.

Hi.

Any word on when a restock of these in the larger sizes will be?

Thanks!

A rather obvious question that has been asked many times, I'm sure:

Will shrink 1" with wash and and will stretch 1" with wear means that, in the end, I get what I see in terms of the stated waist measurements?

[LewisStonehouse]

@cityofdelusion they’ll stretch out beyond initial measurements despite the shrinkage, so I’d treat it like any other pair but just be prepared for a little bit of initial discomfort

Got my first pair of 25s today and the denim is unquestionably impressive. I'm going to enjoy their evolution over the years. What I don't get though is why make a pair of jeans that you can't button up. Just…. smh. And sure, I know the heavy fabric eventually breaks in and the holes open up and won't require the same crazy amount of work just to button up the fly, but it still seems like there should be a better way.

[LewisStonehouse]

@Joe_M they will button up, it just takes a bit of perseverance. They’re usually fine after a couple of days. What I tend to do is get a pair of needle nosed pliers and shove them in the holes, give them a few twists applying a bit of pressure, helps loosen them up. Other than that I recommend buttoning and unbuttoning them (quite roughly) a few times whilst you’re not wearing them. You’ll be fine

[Joe_M]

Hi @LewisStonehouse, thanks for the suggestions.  As you said, they'll be fine eventually.  Still though, it's worth wondering if there could be a design modification for the heavyweight items that could eliminate the need for a toolbox or black and blue fingers.
