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

[fourperf]

A few days ago I opened up a package containing my first pair of 25 oz denim. It was definitely a little intimidating as I unfolded them, slipped them on and tried to button up. Now a few days in they feel so good. I look forward to putting them on everyday and am really enjoying the beginning of this journey.
I enjoyed seeing all the pictures of fades on here and looking forward to these starting to show a patina.

I just had the same pleasant experience with my 666 in 25oz.
It kind of accelerated - from laying my hands on 25oz at IH Germany last year and deciding I was too faint hearted, up to today where I really don't want to get out of my jeans tonight!

Hah right on man...I ended up selling that pair because they were just too big for me. Thought about trying again with 634 but went with 888 and 666 and think I dig those cuts better.

@Oaktavia They looked hardcore on you, bru. And 888 seems positively sick, and 666 are the devils cut, right? Nice. The IH-634 black was my first pair. Bought in Tokyo. And it’s awesome to find the cuts that fit. 25oz seems to be a beast of its own. I’ve got my first pair on it’s way, thanks to the amazing @George-Homme, in a size bigger, so hopefully it’ll be a nice ride.

Enjoy!!

@BunBunBunneh the marble effect will go away , personally I wash mine in cold water wool lite dark and throw a cup of vinegar in with the rinse

@Oaktavia personally I own two pair of 666 and don’t wear them because they are to tight in the legs , 634 , 888 is definitely the cuts for me , but 634 you can’t go wrong with , the 250z denim will definitely mold to you after awhile , a few soaks and washes youll see what I’m talking about , I’d try the 634 again if I were you , I know some people soak them first but they will shrink to approx measurements, personally I buy a pair my size +/- and wear the hell out them for a few months ( I’m a sheetmetal mechanic supervisor so I work in construction) and they are definitely my favorite jeans above all else

@Oaktavia I’d try the 634 again if I were you

Next time I need/want a new pair I would like to try out 634 again...until then I am working on my 888XHSmb which need lots of work and I have a pair of 888XHSib incoming which have a whole life ahead of them as well...so likely will be years until 634 day. Thanks for the info about yours though man, I appreciate the conversation.

Question about sizing. How much 25 oz fabric could stretch? Eg., if I choose size 34 which has a waist of 87,4 cm, after soaking will be 85-85,5cm. How much will stretch with wear? Will go back to 87,4 or more? My ideal waist size is 89cm....

[Daniel San]

@boutsk
waist will stretch back to pre soak , maybe a little more .
So I would go for a size 35 . When ordering from Gosport they sure will help you finding the perfect pair. Maybe they have a 35 that runs a little smaller at waist

Getting more blue and softer after every wash. The fades that start to show looks amazing. Washed often just like my XHSBB.

Finally have a pair of 634 in the proper size. I fecking love this pair! If you scroll through this thread you will see a pair I tried last year that were just too big. Plus they were unhemmed and I think 634 looks better hemmed. This is how they should fit. Turns out even though I'm 6'3" I have tiny legs as my inseam is 30". After a hot soak and a cuff, they measure as 27"...way shorter than I thought. I guess I'm mostly torso. I opted for a turquoise hem because of course I did!

Very nice fit. At this point the 634 is the only IH cut I will wear anymore.

[Oaktavia]

@Palmer thanks heck yeah. I think I might agree with you on the 634. Still loving 888 too though.

[ARNC]

@Oaktavia I liked your old pair but these look good too. If you’re happier, I guess it’s a result!

[endo]

excellent look and fit @Oaktavia

@Palmer Same conclusion here after having tried the other cuts, I have finally settled on the 634 cut. I might add either the XHS or the UHR in this cut later on. For now, I'm enjoying my 634 21oz fabric.
