Is there anyway that this denim will shrink? Perhaps with a hot soak at the waist line? The waist is a little too loose for my liking..

[Giles]

I doubt it I am afraid

[nicolnicolnicol]

It's okay! Nothing a belt can't solve!

[Beatle]

yap, nic, same boat as you..I checked - and actually my Busters od are the same size as these /29 - and the waist on the 666 could be about an inch smaller..so yes, belt it is..

[kit99bar]

luckily the denim does not stretch much.

[georgeel]

0,2" in the waist, according with SE. Optimistic, I think.
I recommend a good belt.

Wanted shoreman's ihb02. But the shipping is just crazily high. That's for living far away in southeast asia I guess..

^^

shoreman is pretty reasonable (i just like giving him a hard time), send him a pm & he might be able to come to some sort of common ground with you so everyone wins.

& damn i thought your fit was perfect, sorry the waist is a bit too roomy for your liking

The Canadian postage rates are the highest ones I can think of, and I have quite a few int'l transactions under my belt…

[Giles]

Seconded.

[nicolnicolnicol]

Well, he did offered free postage to someone in the US for free.. And have it shipped to me from the US. But I figured it would be too troublesome for me to get things linked up here and there..

I will just make do with a tanner for now on.

[madmonday]

i know this is not the proper way to do this, but send the damn belt to me, or at least ten other forum members i can think of that wouldn't mind then shipping the item out to you.

sending you a pm now 

geez, you act like you have no idea where you are at

[Seul]

If I was a US citizen, I would've offered the same… Nice job, Mickey!..

[madmonday]

don't say it too loud.

i'm mad>:(monday

After just 5 days wear it really feels like I'm breaking these in with some creases already forming. These pics give a good indication of the texture and hue of this amazing denim

[Giles]

Looking great IS

[babyknight]

love that fit.

[kit99bar]

another great fit for this denim!

[Danny RnH]

Thanks for the comments. Love these jeans

[georgeel]

I won!
After 15 days, they have surrendered!

The bike has been quite useful in this battle (see the sweat on my shirt), but do not try this at home, these jeans are not the ideal choice to go biking. Now infamous, are-u-tough-enough frightening 666-XHS are docile as kittens!
