          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!  😉

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

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

                        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!

                                  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.

                                    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

                                      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...

                                            I wouldn't be too hasty, but maybe I think I finally found the Perfect Pair.
