IH-666Sod - Devil's Fit Overdyed - Super Slim Tapered

[dave]

Considering that my 32 ODs are tighter than my 31 S, I don't think you'll be hanging anything if you size up one.

Just to confirm, the 32 waist I mentioned was not from a previous pair of 301S, rather, the jeans I am currently wearing. I'm not quite sure if that was clear.

measure your jeans and compare to Iron Heart's measurements.  Gile's measurements are pretty spot on and the only way to be sure. Your size 32 could measure anywhere from 30 to 34, we have no idea.

My size 32 in my current pair is both the tag size and the current waist size, I was not giving an arbitrary tag size. I was simply asking for fit advice outside 'stretches 1 inch'.

[Giles]

I am surprised that the actual waist size of a pair of 32 301S meausres 32 after some period of wear, I would have r=thought it to be more like 33.  Anyway, the top block of the 301 is very boxy.  I'd be tempted to go 33 in the 666Sod.

I tried to clarify in another post that I was not talking about 301S, but another pair of non-IH jeans which are actually size 30, which is an arbitrary tag size in this sense. They measure 32' and fit well, so I guess 33 is where I should be at?

[Giles]

Sorry, I think 33 is the way to go.  G

@Increase:

Alright so after being jerked around on Selfedge with two purchases of the 301S overdye being sold out but not updated on the main site I came across these. Before I order I just wanted to ask everyone how they feel about sizing. I currently fit fairly snug in a 32 in. waist so I figured I would go for the 33 to hang them on the hips like Dior 19cm, would that work out or should I size down to 32?

I actually wear Dior 19cm (MIJ) size 28 and 666od size 30

for oiling your patches, do u guys use Obenauf's heavy duty LP or leather oil? What is the difference between the two?

[georgeel]

HD is good for protection, oil for maintenance.
Obenauf's Combo Pack contains both products.

I put Obenauf's LP on my patch early on and at least once since then, using the hair dryer technique.  It's held up pretty well (9mos).

Sometimes cracks hide, I could send some beaver lure;)

@Bigbertha,  nice fit !!

[Bigbertha]

Thought I'd throw it out there…my size 32 666Sod (32 inseam) are actually a little too snug in the thighs. I'm concerned I'll blow out crotch prematurely unless I size up. If someone has a pair in 33 and looking to size down, let me know. I'd even consider trading for a different model/cut. I've only wore these a few times and never touched water.
