My second pair of IH, and my overall favorite jeans, ever.

haven't worn my 634S-B for some time, but I still get it out to skate and go to live gigs (Yesterday Propagandhi and Shai Hulud), so I took some pics while trying to air the sweat and grime out.

Hey guys im looking at a pair of IH 634s on rakuten, wondering if it's worthwhile getting them off here rather than selfedge ( half price ) and how is sizing with these? I wear 31 nudie / 33flathead, thanks in advance.

i like to buy in-store if i don't know my size (and i usually end up trying on a lot of things and occasionally choose something I didn't expect to like);

that said, if you can buy from a reputable seller on rakuten they will be shipping you the same product. there is arguably more risk with rakuten as the seller may not be fluent in english, may be hard to get ahold of, there is a greater chance the package will be lost in shipping, you may need to pay fees associated with it being shipped from japan, etc. many of these issues can be mitigated by buying from a reputable rakuten seller.

i'm not familiar with nudie sizing, but will say that I am a 31 in 3009 and 3001, 32 in se05bsp, and 30 in 634s

maybe go to self edge, try on a bunch of pairs including 634s, purchase a pair from SE that you can't find on rakuten, then buy your 634s size on rakuten at a later date..best of both worlds ;)

in the 634's whats the difference between the one wash and other type, also how to size with this denim does it stretch much and shrink much? best to buy tts?

What one wash do you mean? The 634S is sanforized, so won't shrink much, if at all. But the denim stretches a lot, around 1,5" in the waist if pushed. So definitely go TTS or size down one, if your thighs allow that.

I cant really knock your hustle trying to get jeans cheaper. However, I generally would support Self Edge over saving money for a few reasons. Im a bit old school tho and they are local. They also have never failed to impress me with their kindness and knowledge. that said, why are the Rakuten IH's so cheap? Also, if something goes wrong, shipping or product, are you willing to deal and pay for the hassle that it takes to resolve the situation?

The sweater is a tad big

The way I want to wear it - loose and relaxed... The way a hooded zip should be worn...

Id go true to size. The 21 oz denim stretches in the waist, so only size down 1 if your thighs can fit the sized down size.

I cant offer any insight on the Rakuten thing as I have never done it. People seem to have great exp with SutoCorp as a proxy though.

those are very nice. it would be cool if iron heart used brass buttons on more of their pants.

IH-SEXIHXINDO16 Worn for 7 months before wash. I did everything in these and am a very outdoorsy guy.
