IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[crankyfart]

@Seul:

I started, amongst others, with Nudies as well… Raw Average Joes... Can't believe I'm now using the Iron Heart drugs 

Be sure to post some pics of your Nudies post-wash, though!..

will do but now im wondering if i should continue wearing it awhile more. worried the fade won't turn out as expected. also, you reckon for W33 in 666S, can i take W32 for 634S? worried will look baggy in W33 for 634S.

[Seul]

Even a size 32 will feel "baggy" compared to the triple 6'es, lad… Get the Busters instead...

Volcano,

I wouldn't size down 2 in 634s if your TTS is really 34. Get another cut is you want slim fit.

[stickyglue]

Got my stitching fixed, looks fine. Not perfect, but I think it would only ever be noticeable to me! Still loving these jeans!!

My 666s hemmed to 31 from 36

[crankyfart]

injunjack,

so what'd you reckon I should get for 634S? I can live with a similar cut to 501 but not those hip hop kinda jeans. and yes, I'm a 33.6 so I just round it up to 34. wearing a 32 for the LVC 1944 and 32 for the common 501s in stores too. but my measuring tape measures me at 33.6

[injunjack]

Measure your 501's, not your waist, and compare to sizing table. There is a good video on the forum how to measure, or if you go to the store, you'll find advise how to measure there.

for the initial first soak, do we turn the jeans inside out or what? and whats the recommended temperature? 60 degrees? 90 degrees? aftermath drip dry them? will wear it while its damp least i can't fit when its totally dry. so excited to wear it now! 

[Giles]

Does not need to be inside out, and if you want to minimise shrinkage, do not make the water too hot…./

thanks alot! we'll discuss in email with regards to my 634S? thanks alot Giles, i am very very very satisfied and happy with the 666S. You made my day! Didn't start my day good with a bleeding throat but now I feel like I can kill a tiger. HAHA!

after soaking, the denim still feels stiff. isit cos I took it out too soon? soaked for about an hour? expected something like a normal cloth denim but it's still stiffs. is this right or I've done it all wrong?

[Sugar Mountain]

No, the denim should be reasonably stiff - it's new raw denim. They'll soften up with wear (lots of it) and you can set your creases in the meantime.

[DougNg]

It's normal. It won't soften up until a few months of wear

I have a pair of SEXIH07's that still stand up after a couple years of wear and multiple washes

[crankyfart]

alright. pray hard it'll wear out ASAP. the journey starts tomorrow!

[Sugar Mountain]

No need to rush. Just enjoy the ride and your jeans will reflect whatever comes your way.

[crankyfart]

yeah sure. anyway wanna check, after drip dry, the jeans are kinda crumpled, do we iron them or just wear it? I'm lost.

[Giles]

Wear them….

[injunjack]

whatever suits you….next time you soak/wash them straighten them when they are still wet/damp.

[hajduk]

wear them! take a beer! a camel filter! a vichy-fraise! go for a ballade! BUT RELAX&WEAR:)
