    Best 21oz denim?

    WRONG S stands for selvedge. 634 and 461 without S are non-selvedge fabric. To my knowledge they are only available in Japan atm.

    Ok, this pic clears things a lot. And you and I are totally differently built. ;-) (if I'd wear jeans that sit 5" below my bb, I'd be showing some serious pubic hair LOL) Just suggesting, these might work for you...http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-666s-19l.html only half inch higher...

    Speaking of IH jeans, I think only model they are offering that comes as high as your bellybutton is 1955S. I have several their jeans, though most of them are variations of 634 and d Beatle busters, and they sit on the hip. BB's are nicer for riding a MC as their backrise is a bit higher...

    Breaking in Selvedge Denim - 14 oz. vs 21 oz.

    To get proper whiskers honeycombs, you'll need pretty tight jeans, my observation. And the properties of the denim has alot to do with fading as well. Just wash when you feel you need to. There's nothing miraculous about that....;-) edited correct expression, that escaped my mind while...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Yep, when buying denim that shrinks... always check if it shrinks TO tagged size or FROM tagged size. Levis shrinks from tagged size and needs to be bought approx 2 sizes big and long enough... Sugar Canes 1947 501's for example shrink to tagged size...as do IronHearts... Before buying, do...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    Jimmer Go to Iron Heart Forum and search for 461 thread, You'll find few good fitpics there. Also depending on your feet, some other IH might look like bootcut... A note of 461, quite low rise, nothing like Levis 517 which is high rise. also 461 is non-selvage, though made with same...

    Dumb Question About Measuring Pants Size

    Iron Heart.....is pretty accurate... Seb, your best bet is to mail freddies and ask for the rear and front rise meas. and waist meas. of said jeans. Then compare with existing pair with similar propertie, or measure yourself and figure it out

    Dumb Question About Measuring Pants Size

    Measure your best fitting similar style pants. Check that the seller measures same way you did. Do not measure your actual waist.

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    May I testify...:D I have several heavier selvegde jeans, from 18oz to 23. More is ridiculous IMHO. I also have some IH Hickory Stripe loggers that are 16oz. Also have some lightweight around 13,5-14 oz selvedge jeans. And non-selvegde. The Denim doesn't go away with washes, LOL. It just get...
