@Jake:

I wet the area behind the knees with a little bit of water before wearing.

Not a fan of this practice but I do love your Rollie Fingers avatar!

Yep. Rollie is the man.

Keenly awaiting the new batch to arrive…should be any time now if we are still on schedule.

The 666S are complete and on the way to me.  The 666Sod are a week or so behind the indigo version.

Thanks for the update.

Great to hear… an extra week or two will only serve to heighten the anticipation and make the payoff that much better.

I feel a bit silly for getting so excited, but feel I'm in good company here. Denim porn!

It's for the best… I really need to get the most out of my XHS before summer gets here.

Giles,

I wait for the 38 size,it will be available  next week?

[Giles]

No.  The 666S will be here next week, the 666Sod a week or 2 later…..

due to the lighter denim, will these seem to fit a bit slimmer than the 666xhs? or are they gonna be pretty much the same? anyone know?

[Giles]

They do fit a bit slimmer (on me anyway)

[harveybone]

thanks G, think ive found my summer project

[madmonday]

Hell of a summer project that 18 oz denim doesn't behave like the 21 so be warned. Oh and my 18s feel slimmer than my 25s and I have them both in a 36 waist

[harveybone]

in what way? sorry if im going over old ground but too lazy to read through the whole thread. breaking in the xhs was fairly tough, the od's must be relatively easy, surely? i'm not sensitive, shoot me down if you must!

[Morose_Penguin]

I think MM is referring to the fact that the 18oz denim does not breathe as well as the 21oz.

[harveybone]

ok, makes sense, thanks for that. though its worth mentioning i live in london which is famous for its non summers. we kind of get teased by the sun as it makes brief appearances behind the rain clouds!

[Giles]

I wore my IH-666S throughout the summer in Hampshire…..

[madmonday]

M_P thank you for translating monday speak for harveybone 

[Morose_Penguin]

No problem

Fellas, stoked about my first IH purchase, but just want to be sure about sizing since Fin666's Size 38" measure around the same at the waist as Fincarelli's.

The other jeans I have are PBJ-011 size 34 which came with dimensions of:

34.5"  ~ waist ( now measure close to 36.0" and sit lower in the waist
10.5"  ~ front rise
14.5"  ~ back rise
12.25 ~ upper thigh
  8.25 ~ knee
  8.00 ~ leg opening

Due to footwear I'm kinda partial to 8.0 l/o. I'm wondering if I can pull off a size 34 comfortably, because if that's the case, I don't have to keep waiting in agony for a re-stock I can just acquire one locally.

Also, for these re-stocks, are they exactly the same or has something been tweaked to make the jeans less prone to crotch blowouts ?
