@Kasi he already addressed the issue by giving them a soak before starting to wear them. The only time I see this on IH 25oz is when people cuff them and overtime the fabric weakens at the cuff folding and starts tearing. I have never seen it on honeycomb.

@Alex_24. They look great man. I think I will pull the trigger on those. My sixe is still available

@meltdown. You are going to be hard pressed to get any shrinkage out of the 21oz. It's sanforized and once washed. I mean washing it will not shrink it. I may tighten a little bit and then back to original measurements after 15 minutes of wear. The brake in process is very straight farward on the 21oz. Just wear them and they will soften more with time. They start pretty soft to begin with for a heavy fabric

Go for it. Cool design

They are nice @Matt. I have a couple of pairs of the 70's. Cool Chucks

The 19L od is much easier to wear of the bat compared to the 19L. I have both and it's night and day. The 19L is way stiffer and takes longer to soften up.

@Luijim78 . Best wishes to your family!

Same here. I can also see the top of your thigh but there is plenty room there. With the 888 cut you can size down and the thigh measurement doesn't move as much as other cuts.

@JohnM . What size are you looking for

I am roughly 5 foot and 11.5 inches around 240 pounds and in 634 I can wear tag 36 and tag 38 depends the look I am going for. In 888 I can only wear tag 38 as tag 36 is too tight around the knee. I cannot wear 666 the thigh is just too tight and I cannot go up 2 sizes but I can wear a 777 tag 40 that it has an actual waist size of around 39 inches. 555 is out of the question. It will look comical on me . I also love the 463 in tag 38 but it's not a core cut. Never tried the 1955's but I think they will fit. I generally like wide hems. I am not into narrow hems.

Don't worry sizing up with slimmer cuts. They usually have slimmer hip measurements also. I have an IH Pronto in the tapered cut closer to a 777 and tag 40 fits me fine. I cannot take tag 40 in the 634's or 888's. The waist and hip will be out of control.

Sorry... Diaper butt i meant.......

I diaper button can happen even if you don't have a big gut. I think it has to do with body proportions also. Usually low rise is the way to go in order to avoid it. My gut is definitely under control I weigh more than you and some cuts like the 888 will give me a bit of sag because all.my pairs no matter where I place them they naturally gravitate towards my hips. I primarily wear 634's i got 28.5 inch thighs and i have no sag. Having said that I can only wear 634's, and 888's do to my built. The rest the thighs are way too small.

I have the 710xx 19oz and I got about an inch in the waist.

463 is an awesome cut. I have been looking for a second pair over 2 years now with no luck. I really hope they become a reality again.

I don't see why you will want to go up a size on 634's vs 777. Get a pair that the waist starts just a little snug in the beginning and you will be good to go. They have much wider profile than the 777.

I woukd go tag 32, just don't hem just in case you need to exchange for a different tag size. I don't think you will need to go any bigger for sure. If a tag 32 666 fits you well you may be able to handle tag 31 on the 634 or 633. Obviously depends the look you are going for. The 634 has a wider profile all the way through from the 666. The 633 suppose to be a 634 with more taper from the knee down.

If I was you I would take the same size on 633 as you take on 634. It's hard to size for someone else. What size are you on 634? Keep in mind that the sizing guide on Selvedge website is different than how IH measures.

The 634 has a similar rise to the 666 but has a wider profile thought. It's Iron hearts straight cut. It compares closer to the 666 but wider hip, leg and knee measurements. If you like the top block of the 666, you will like the 634.

@Davids_denim I think the top block of the 555 is roomier than the 666.
