Long time no post (old username was Stewart, until I deleted by mistake) - have Haraki / Giles / team hit a home run with these jeans or what !!! Mine have just arrived (with matching T) and they are on-the-money. I was intending on introducing into rotation in New Year, no-way I am waiting that long. I was curios how they would feel/ fit ( have SR and some SDA of similar weight) these are the nuts!!! I love my SR, but alway kinda wished were slightly slimmer fit, my SDA the top block is too short, making them most uncomfortable for men ! At the mo' my favs are my 666OD, super comfy, great cut, however I predict this are going to be the crowning glory of my collection. First fit much more comfortable than the weight threatens (compared to my uber unforgiving SDA these are a dream). Love the colour, but not seen in daylight yet, that will have to wail till tomorrow (come on England…rugby world cup quarter final)fit pics to follow.

Just got my IH666XHS in today. Extremely fast shipping as usual from Giles/Paula. I was greeted by a strong smell similar to one you get when you step into an antique bookstore. Jeans are extremely monstrous. Thick strong denim yet feeling so smooth at the same time. Not something easily replicated for sure.

Like any other indigo denim, this pair bleeds just as much. Reminds me of how much I missed indigo denim after not wearing them for some time since I started on the BBOD.

Really satisfied with this pair. I believe I'm set for a long long time till I need another pair of jeans or rather another pair of this.

Here are the photos.

Just a full day of wear. Cycled in them from Fulham to Hackney and back to show them who's boss from day 1. Much more comfortable than you'd imagine considering the weight. Stacks need to settle before I even consider hemming. 31w.

What boots are those?..

I've liked every fit in this thread so far.  truly a great cut.

I dislike how the pockets sit a bit/ too low, but other than that, yeah: brilliant cut.

Allsaints

[Beatle]

the rise on these is a good bit higher than on the 666 18oz - thus the pockets seem to be a bit lower..

Never heard of 'm, but found some pics of scarcely dressed Asian ladies whilst Googling it so… All good in my book!..

After a week I can say that these jeans are starting to adapt to my legs. Deep creases appeared  behind the knees and at the high thighs (evo will be interesting there!) and button/unbutton them is now easy. As I expected, they stretched, maybe a little less then 634S, but they stretched, so they are not really slim fitted, exactly as i wanted.
At the same time, they continue to be stubborn, rigid and tough as hell. But isn't this rigidity what make them fit so well?
Yesterday I took a walk in the woods near home, and I was trapped between the brambles. I would still be there if I had not worn my invincible 25oz leg-armor! I went through the bushes full of thorns as they were a field of daisies!
One last note: they are the only pair of jeans that I really love wearing cuffed. It's strange.

25oz experience continues…

Small restock arriving here tomorrow.  I have placed them in the shop…..

I'm coming for these. Less is more. I've also come to realize I've been buying heavy-weight jeans and hardware a size too small. Time to grind out some more sales…Need to put in work for that 25oz.
