      Damn you Giles! Just when i decide to take it easy on my credit card for a while you go and dream up these. Just ordered mine.

      I hope I've done the right thing - I've got a pair of 634s in a 32 that were very painful to do up the first time I put them on but now have about an inch to spare in the waist. I've gone for 32s in these and am hoping and praying that I can do them up! As soon as I got the email about them I knew I had to have them.

      I've worn my 634s every day since they arrived back in May. At least now I've got another pair of IH jeans to rotate.

        I got mine in the mail today. The denim is amazing. But cause of my build they are the most awkward fit ever. 301s fit me perfect but tjese just dont taper enough or something so they are super baggy from just above the knee down. Hopefully I can find a shop that can taper them for me. Cause I got them hemmed on purchase and cant return. But amazing jeans none the less.

          this could be impossible actually, if they just sew with the "normal machines…

            i don`t think that a bartack stitch was doable on these, so yeah…looks normal to me!

            @Jord666:

            Hi guys wore these for my second day I'm a Noob really (my first raws being a TW a year ago) and was wondering if anyone could tell me of the crotch stitching on my 666XHS is normal.

            http://img809.imageshack.us/i/imageqkf.jpg/

            Thanks

            It's normal and the bartac is there I the pic

              dave, hope i didn't miss this somewhere else in the thread but would you mind sharing what size you went for and how that compares to any previous IH jeans you owned?  i really think you have the perfect fit in these, makes me love the 666 cut even more.

                Can't wait to pick these badasses up for a local denim contest in this coming November. How did you size for your bbod and this pair beats?

                  Cheers for the fast responses guys. When you say the bartack stitch wasn't doubt on these does that mean it's more likely to blow? The reason I queried was because I can see the thread in-between the layers of denim but can't on my TW. I guess thats because it's a completely different oz and denim altogether?

                  Thanks again for the advice! it's much appreciated.

                    We put a bar tack on most of our jeans.  The IH-634SR being the notable exception.  On the first run of the IH-666S, due to a "lost in translation" moment between Haraki and me,  we omitted the bar tack.  As soon as I realised the omission, we fixed it, but there are a few 666S out there without the bar tack.

                            thanks mank.

                            i'm not  😉

                            how could they  😠

                            serious bigger folks nervous about this cut shouldn't be.  they are a well designed jean that imho look great on a wide range of body types.  oh & these are just as the original 666s.  if you didn't know, they include lined back pockets, reinforced front pockets, belt loops sewn into waist band & that bar tack.

                            i do notice the higher rise, but it isn't a bad thing & less crack is always good.

                                I just tried on my 666-XH's and they seem wider cut than their little brothers, especially in the calf. I seem to remember the original 666 had "some" taper. Not this model.
                                The darkness of this fabric is hypnotizing.
                                I'm pretty sure the thing is waterproof.
                                This is going to take a long long time to break in!

                                  @babyknight:

                                  dave, hope i didn't miss this somewhere else in the thread but would you mind sharing what size you went for and how that compares to any previous IH jeans you owned?  i really think you have the perfect fit in these, makes me love the 666 cut even more.

                                  Sure, no problem.

                                  I started out with a the TWR01.  I loved that fit, but they were a size too small (30) with no hope of stretching to make up that last little bit.  I wear them sometimes, but they're kind of tight.  I've been searching for another fit that I liked as much as those.  I think these 25 oz come close.

                                  After the TWR, I got the 634SR.  It's hard to say at this point, but I think I like the feel of that denim better than the 25 oz.  The cut was a little sloppy on my body type, but they're comfortable.  The SR is still the Holy Grail to me, but we'll see when the 634 RAW comes out

                                  Then I got the 666S (31) and OD (32)–The TWR didn't fit and the SR is obviously too baggy for everything.  My knees and lower thighs didn't fit in either very well post soak because of how much I ride my bike, so I started to rip the seams around the crotch within a couple of days (bartack is still intact).    They fit great after they stretched and the crotch hasn't gotten any worse despite having worn the shit out of them.

                                  Then came the BB SBG (31).  These things fit great, but I don't want to wear black all the time.  The knees and lower thigh offered no resistance and the higher rise felt more solid than the 666.

                                  Finally the 666 XHS (31 trimmed to 34L)... My thighs and knees fit perfectly like the SBG, the waist is spot on unlike the TWR (my fault buying the wrong size), the slightly higher rise keeps me from having to pull them up often.  The denim is very smooth like the SR and TWR and dark like the TWR, but with a slight reddish tint.

                                  I would say that these fit more like the BB than the 666S.  If they were raw, they'd probably feel more like the 666S after seeing some water.

                                  Someone mentioned the denim feeling like a thick sheet of paper.  I would say a 2-layer, high quality mat board that bends really well is accurate.

                                  I gave my buddy a scrap piece left over from the hemming and he couldn't rip it.  It looked like he tried pretty hard but didn't even tear the first stitch on the selvedge seam.

                                    really helpful dave, thanks.  really looking forward to seeing the evolution of these.

                                    the cut of the 25oz 666 almost seems more slim straight (which is my favorite cut).

                                      How does the fit compare to IH301s? I wear a size 31 and love absolutely everything about the 301s specially the leg opening… would theses be a similar fit to the 301s? and what size would you guys recommend?

                                        I'd just wear them for a good month or so and see how they settle down. The bagginess may go and as the jeans mould to your body shape & end up being a great fit. You can always taper later if still not satisfied.

                                          Got mine yesterday. Thanks Giles & Paula. South coast to London in less than 24 hours!!
                                          Love everything about them..the fit is just a tad less slim than the original 666 but still a slick slim fit.
                                          They have a gorgeous sheen/patina that I always miss with unsanforized denim that will just get better with wear and dirt.
