@Shane-B
@Axel-HH
will you get them guys?

Hi Daniel, Yes, we do. By the way, how do the Asahis fit?

[Daniel San]

@Shane-B
unfortunately too narrow

I'm torn between grabbing these or waiting for the 666 25oz. restock. I really don't need both. For those that own both, which do you prefer if you had to pick between the two? (in terms of the usual things like texture of the denim, overall fit, how they fade, comfort, breathability, etc.)

[Daniel San]

@Nobunaga
the 666 XHS will be available in the future , the
UHR as it seems not . so maybe that should make it easier to decide

[don_pipone]

@Nobunaga UHR all the way

[Kasi]

Both..

Is there a consensus on thigh shrink during first soak and wash? .5"? Less if worn? 12.8" is my smallest thigh(555 22od) Deciding between 35 and 36 fwiw
Thanks. I scrolled back a ways before asking

[don_pipone]

@CosmoSix5 on my 777‘s I had 0.1“ of thigh shrinkage (12.2 -> 12.1)

[CosmoSix5]

@don_pipone thank you. Can easily stay at 35 then thanks

@CosmoSix5 I just soaked and washed a new pair of UHR 888s @35c. I had .5 inches of shrink in the thighs and everything stretched back to post soak/wash measurements after a few days. If it fits well pre wash it will be good.

[Nobunaga]

@Daniel-San Good point. 25 oz is a staple of the brand and will be around for a long time. UHR it is.

I’ve got a roomy pair of 666s-21 size 34 and a more fitted pair of 666-XHS 25oz in a 33. Trying to read size charts and tea leaves on which size to buy in 666-UHR.

[dirtyframer]

@Pointman measure your favorite jeans and theres your size reference.

[Jord]

@Pointman Remember these will shrink as they are literally RAW/unwashed denim, but will stretch back out in the waist, if they fit you out the box they'll stretch back to that in the waist...

[will6er]

Anyone had these stretch to more than the original? There is a bit of a gap in sizing and need to go slightly smaller than I was hoping.

[Pointman]

We hemming at purchase while accounting for inseam shrinkage or leaving unhemmed? While I'd rather wait and hem mine later, any chainstitch job requires me mailing to someone or taking a roadtrip. Not ideal. I generally wear a 30 inseam, so I could hem just a few inches off to avoid having giant rolls. Like hem it to a 34 and be safe to hem again in the future.

[goosehd]

@Pointman The guide states that you could get up to 2” shrinkage of the inseam. If you want an end inseam of 30”, you could hem them to 32”. It may end up a little long, but would stack better.

Really depends on how you are going to wear them. Roll, straight leg, stacks, etc.
