IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[barun]

I really like the way these fit you Jord.  What size and length? And without any break, what length would you normally wear?

[SimonQ.]

@Jord666:

W33 L31

[Jord666]

Cheers for the positive comments guys I think they're my perfect fit I love them! I'm 5ft 10, the size is 33 and the length is 31". I usually take a 30" leg but I spoke to Giles over the phone and he advised I add an inch to what I normally wear because alot of length would be taken up due the thickness of the denim behind the knee and I'm glad I took the advice

Hey G, When do we get another box with 666-xhs 36's?

[Giles]

Not until I get a rerun sorted out, there are currently no firm plans.  G

And finally, here they are!

First: color
Incredible, I've never seen anything like this. It's dark, almost black, but still pure blue jeans indigo.

Second: denim
The quintessence of Iron Heart. Heavy, unslubby, smooth, thick as steel plates.

Third: cut
Brilliant. I was hoping in a more relaxed fit then 666Sod, and my prayers have been answered. 666X's cut seems to me something between 666s and Busters. Devil was merciful, this time.

Fourth: how they feel
It's hard. They are absolutely not "super soft". They are not even "soft". They remind me the Busters sbg, but stiffer.
I could be wrong, but I sense in them a core of soft. Very, very deep inside, they have a touch of sweetness that is waiting to be discovered.
Honestly, I cannot express myself, for now. I will wait at least one week, ten days (minimum) to say if all this 25oz story is madness or if it's something I can really wear everyday. But I have good hopes.

Fifth: fit pix
In time. Pictures now would be pointless: those jeans are wearing me, so they seem perfect, it's like to have Beetle's legs…

Sixth: wearing them
I'll do. I wanna break in those monsters. Or die trying! 

WARNING: do not put your phone in the front pocket...

[Seul]

What happened to the phone?.. 

[Morose_Penguin]

If it's the same problem I have, then it'll take at least 5 minutes to retrieve…

I'm also holding up a lot of checkout queues at the moment, while I try to retrieve my wallet.

still there…

[madmonday]

think i'll wear these for halloween & pretend i'm Iron Man.

[georgeel]

I'm a sort of Power Ranger, now.

Seventh: hemming
Giles and Paula did a fine job, chain-stitching is good as original. Thanks a lot!

Haha now I follow ya!..

Good Gosh

dont be in a hurry to take a leak if you're wearing these pants! Undoing the top button takes a while and accidents could happen while you're breaking your fingers and tearing tendons trying to set the captive free!

[georgeel]

Point.
I've already broken the nail of the right index finger.
Really.
No joke.  :o

[dave]

lol… I have a rash on my backside and on my mid thigh from these things.  I consider this a feature

[georgeel]

Day 2.
More confortable.
I am sitting cross-legged on the floor with
my laptop, and I feel very good.
Beatle's right, after all 

So, I got up and took a pic…

[ChuckDenim]

Great fit, best so far.

[georgeel]

Thanks!

8th: smell
Yes, 666X send a penetrating fragrance of brand new denim that remind me my first pair of Levi's, so many years ago. I was 14, and so proud of them!
But even if they were true-genuine-long-time-gone Levi's made in USA, were not as spectacular as my 666X.

[Jord666]

How did you stack the jeans like that? Did you do it purposely or did they settle that way on they're own?

Look great by the way!

Cheers

[georgeel]

I did nothing

The only thing I do is spray a little water behind the knees, to have better combs (a trick learned here on the forum, maybe from injunjack, but I'm not sure…)

9th: stretching
I'va a theory. Stretching occurs when there is sufficient space and strength. Even for 25 oz denim. If 666X are tight enough and your hips are quite strong, they will stretch. But maybe 25 oz denim is too strong for a normal human body...
