IH-666Sod - Devil's Fit Overdyed - Super Slim Tapered

[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!

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!

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

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 ?

[Giles]

On the original run, we omitted the bar tack at the crotch.  Once I realised this, we retro bar tacked every pair that had not been sold.  In fact due to the timing of stuff, I was the only person to ship any with the bar tack missing.  All retailers got fixed jeans.  Every subsequent run has had the bar tack included.

I am ready to order it when arrives ,my measured jeans waist is 91/92cm so please let me know if the size 38 really fits me.

Thank you

666 od's fades are exactly  the same(bluish) as IHxB01od and IH-634S-B?

[Giles]

IH-666Sod is a different denim from the IHXB01od and IH-634S-B.  The process of overdying is the same, but the denim behaves a bit differently….

[Gianl]

Giles,

The 666od's fades been grey/white than bluish?

[Giles]

No all grey/blue

[Gianl]

Here's a pretty accurate picture of my 666OD's I've been meaning to put up… In the low tension areas I'm finding they're fading to blueish first then white. In the higher tension areas I'm seeing more white then blue.

Hey Laxlife… save me from having to read through 60+ pages of thread and remind me how you sized these please.  Thanks!

[laxlife1234]

Haha no worries, I basically went TTS. These are now too big in the waist on me but otherwise when I first started they were too tight. So I would recommend TTS just give it 2 or so weeks to stretch.

[Matt]

That's exactly what I wanted to hear, thanks man!

matt^ just be weary of the thighs, mine have stretched, but they're still rather tight.  they didn't stretch as much as the waist did for me. if you look at my 666od(size 32) pictures compared to my 666xhs(size 30) pictures the xhs fit looser but they're still rather tight in the thighs.  just keep it in mind.  my thighs aren't small and i dont think true to size is the best idea for everyone who wants a pair of these.
