IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
Someone asked me for a fit pic on these awhile back. I was feeling crappy this day so you get no… head? er.. face.. dammit.

What boots Dave? They're bad-ass.

Thanks
They're Whites SJ. Here's the link to the specs: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=989.msg60411#msg60411

The description for 666s in the Self Edge website states: Poly Thread Stitch. However, the IH website description states: Over gauge constructional stitching - 100% cotton thread. I was wondering if this was just a simple typo or if SE carries a version stitched with a different thread type… Poly, poly-core, or over guage cotton? Either way, I'm sure the construction is insanely over-the-top rugged.

sure it's the same jean, but one of them have a slight error on the product page. now the question is who has to correct their product page

you have an editor's eye uncutp.

Good question. I specced cotton, but now you have me worried. I'll double check with Haraki…..
Great so it's like, "Hi guys I'm new here! Let me point out some inconsistencies that are borderline irrelevant so that you can spend extra time investigating. So you guys like jean pants?"

[/quote]My money's on Kiya having to make the correction.

nothing is ever "irrelevant" here . . . it all impacts the way the item wears & ages & holds up . . . but you are new here
**your good eye must be from reading all the small text in the good book, not to mention all the inconsistencies in that text, yikes j/k as i am of very strong faith, just not man & religion

I'll tell you what I DO have faith in; these are going to fit sicker than my s710 size 34. Which are kind of loose on me now. I think I nailed it with a size 33 on these 666s. Can't wait until they arrive. I've never been a nut-hugging jeans kind of guy but fitted jeans can look good as shit! And the specs on these seem spot on. Proportioned perfectly all the way up to a size 38. I bet these jeans would look tough on any dude, big or tiny.

uncut, when they land please put up fit photos.
thank you sir & G thanks for the super quick response

Hey all! I'm new to IH after wearing APCs for the last 5 years or so. Thought it was time for an upgrade. After much consideration, measuring, and re-measuring, I decided that these in a 34 would be the right fit for me. For reference, I wear a 32 in APC (rescue) which fits like a 34.
I'm concerned that I should've gone with a 33. With the APCs, the concern is primarily with stretching, so you get them as tight as possible and let them stretch out. The shrinkage that is seemingly the norm for IH is a foreign concept to me.
When you say it will shrink an inch, but then stretch an inch or so over time, do you mean it will stretch back to the original fit, or will it stretch an ADDITIONAL inch?
Also, I was attracted to your size swapping policy in case of a bad fit. But how will I know how they fit after shrinking without soaking them first?
If I post pre-soak pics, could you guys tell me if I should size down before I soak them?
Thanks!!!

First off, welcome and congrats on your first IH purchase. It most certainly won't be your last.
When you say it will shrink an inch, but then stretch an inch or so over time, do you mean it will stretch back to the original fit, or will it stretch an ADDITIONAL inch?
All shrinkage depends on what type of soak/ wash you do. Also if you decide to machine wash and or dry, the results can vary. They will stretch back to about the original measurement, not an additional inch from the pre soak.
Also, I was attracted to your size swapping policy in case of a bad fit. But how will I know how they fit after shrinking without soaking them first?
You won't until you try it. Luckily the B&S area is a great place to move your mistakes.
If I post pre-soak pics, could you guys tell me if I should size down before I soak them?
Of course. Post them up. I think that posting them and getting opinions before you soak is they way to go.
