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

[arcanum]

Seul, the chainstitch of my 666 xhs also come undone too. Have a look, interesting..

[Giles]

Arcanum, can you give me a full photo of that please.  I'd like to see the start and finish of the chainstitching it poss.

[arcanum]

Giles, these pics are the best i could do at the moment, let me know if you need better ones.

[Giles]

OK.

If you can, get a needle and pull the top thread (indigo side) that is loose through the denim to the reverse side at the same point the other thread is loose.  Tie a the 2 pieces of thread together so the knot is touching the denim.  Cut to about 2 cms, then light the thread with a match or lighter, when the flame gets to the denim, nub the flame out with a your finger.  This makes a firm melted blob of thread that should not indo…

The colour on these is just insane… I'll be shipping them to Gosport Wednesday (don't worry Giles, I will PM you), and I'm gonna miss the living SHIT out of them... 

[rocket]

Thanks G, but i am going to hem these next month, so i think it should be fine

[Giles]

OK.  G

[Seul]

Fuck it. Not sending mine in to get them hemmed. Maybe when it gets warmer again… Right now I don't want to NOT wear them for a day...

You guys had me worried… had to run downstairs to check my hems, they are tight and secure!  I have seen some stitching failure in the past with other jeans (before I converted to the one and only God) and have found that a bit of super glue at the point of failure stops it in its tracks.

IH-666-XHS look amazing.  I’ve been living in my IH-634-XHS size 36s for some time now and I’m tempted to score a pair of these in the same size.  Anyone that has both care to offer any advice? 
I owe the members some pics. 
Thanks Rocket also for the advice.  It worked out well.

[7tacos]

Here's the thing….I'm comfortable now in my 634-XHS in the seat and thigh.  They may even be a little big but imo, perfect.
IH-666-XHS in a 36 has about a 13 inch thigh which might take some getting used too.

The stretch, just not as much as that pussy 21oz denim 

[Seul]

666XHS stretches as well. Was tight at first, now no such thing anymore. Thighs especially stretched just that necessary bit.

[Matt]

The baby just pooped on my trousers… I guess it was only a matter of time.

[dave]

You could always try sticking them in the freezer… Maybe you can scrape it off with a knife

[Matt]

No harm, a bit foul.  I spot cleaned w/ some warm water and Dr Bronners and all is well.  I'm still on track for just a spring soak before I put them down for the summer.  That should give me about 6 or 7 months of wash free wear.

My 666-XHS are going very well!
