Looks like Flat head is back in business again. Anyone know what happened? At least it looks like they has changed their sizing. Previously I was able to use "Large" size, now "Small" looks like even bigger than "Large" before. ::)

RE: IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
@Drumedge, thanks for the advice and feedback! I feel more comfortable with both jeans now. You're right. If I size up 9666Z it can be be too loose from the waist especially..
I'm so curious to try other cuts too. Unfortunately I can use only one at once. I feel these are really durable. I bet I can use 634S and 9666Z for years..
It is difficult to justify myself why I have to buy an another one with different cut. -
RE: IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
Hello!
First I have to say Chap has a really good fit with those 634S. Just correct. My 634S looks a bit more roomy.
I now have experience of wearing those 634S around a couple of weeks. Seems to be more comfortable than 9666Z. If I could choose now, I think I would like to size up for 9666Z.I received my 634S from the tailor because I really needed to get jeans hemmed. She did it with a chain stitch. After that I noticed she left there a bit of extra length for some reason. I also did one hour of cold soak in vinegar water. I heard this will fix the indigo dye. Even I did vinegar soak there is still some indigo loss when I wipe the jeans with strip of paper. It looks like vinegar will slow down the fading process, but doesn't stop it.
After a cold soak, I also did hot soak for two hours in 40C water. (just wanted to reduce a bit of inseam length since the tailor left a bit extra there)
I didn't get shrinkage almost at all. Inseam was shortened by hot soak just around 0,5 inches / 1- 1.5cm.Both soaks gave me a lot of yellow water. There was no indigo loss at all even after hot soak. Just yellow. I know it is not necessary to do soaking for sanforized denim. I did it just because of inseam length and I wanted to increase durability. Not sure though will it increase or not. At least I don't notice anything negative after soaking.
Happy new year to everyone!

RE: (FitPics/ WAYWT) of Other Brands
Hello!
Have a good weekend everyone! Wearing my kojima genes RNB-1221H today. Size tag w31. Height of the user is 176cm and weighs 64kg.
I appreciate your opinion, does it look too loose or too long? Fabric is really soft even it's 21oz. One of the most comfortable jeans I have. -
RE: IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
Thanks for your input! In my size there is around one centimeter difference in hem between 888 and 634S.
I will add some fit photos after 634S arrives. When I compare 9666z and 634S there is also considerable difference in waist 9666z 31,7 inch vs 634S 30 inches. It will be tight but I'm relieved to hear 21 oz selvedge indigo stretch more easily than Z denim. -
RE: IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
Hello,
I just registered today. I have been enjoying iron heart pants. Model I'm wearing at the moment is 9666Z. Size is tag w30. To be honest I feel 666 jeans slightly restricting especially my thighs and hip area. When I sit or spread my legs a bit it feels pretty tight but not unusable. I have been wearing it now for around half a year and I don't expect it to stretch more.
However I was curious to try the 634S which I ordered a couple of days ago. Does it stretch around the same amount as 9666Z? The Size is exactly the same. I know 634S is wider from the thighs and below the knee. I wonder if there is a big difference in hip area? I guess trying out is the only way to know. I'm 176cm and 64kg. I hope 634S doesn't look too baggy. If it does, I think the only way to get it fixed is getting it tapered. I added fit photos of 9666Z.
