IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
^ yeah I thought of sizing up too but thank God for G's advice. he never go wrong. not even once. all my IH stuffs that I seek his opinion on sizing, it's bullseye.

Who needs to try clothes on 1st when u have places like this ..AMazing how spot on people are

Hey question about sizing on Devilz as well as potentially busters. I am confused as to going TTS with these. In the Busters case the tagged size of 31 measures 32 as per IH sizing guide for busters. Now I naturally wear a 32 so if i am to go TTS am I taking the 31 which are measured 32 or am I taking tagged size 32 which measure 33? I should also say I dont like my jeans SKIN tight but like them to be a bit slimmer with a slight bag if that makes sense. CORRECTION i SHOULD STATE THAT MY FAVORITE SIZED JEANS ARE TAGGED 33X34 gRIM TIMS WHICH ARE NOW MEASURING 17.5 IN THE WAIST
Thanks for any help

speak to G. he knows his stuffs like the back of his hand.
for me, I simply measured my waist, fav jeans and it reads 33" so I grabbed the W33 which was hard to button initially but have since stretched and feels fantastic now.
of course I also had to pay attention to my thighs but it's just me rugby kid thighs. reckon most would be fine with the thighs.
-
Ok ima grab the 33's then Thanks
Damn it no 33's left on the IH site

Hey DD, I think you're making this over-complicated mate! Forget the tag size for now….
1. are you happy with the current fit of your Nudies with waist 17.5 (i.e 35 around)?
2. If YES, then I wouldn't choose anything with a measured waist less than 33inch, unless you love pain. You probably want something with a raw waist in the range 33 to 34 inches (to allow for stretching). Find whatever tag size matches these needs. (Remember that individual pairs vary, so you can ask Giles to see if any of the pairs in stock measure X inches in the waist).
3. Neither the 666 or BB is like a Grim Tim. The first thing you will notice is that the denim is wayyyyy wayyy different, in a good way. The second thing is that the leg opening in both these is wider than the Grim Tim.
4. As Volcano says, Giles knows his shit better than eny of us, so I'd pay attention to his advice.
I hope you get something that works for you.
Cheers,

That was excellent advice…Now i just have to find the Devils in a 33
-
Hey RnR, how is the leg opening on either the BB or 666's ? They arent to wide right? I dont like the cuff looking like a rolled donut. I mean it doesnt have to be like the GT's which I bought them bigger than most would have
-
did a lot of gardening work last weekend…666 become a bit brownish...
This shit right here. Man, I need to start gardening. Looks like how beige weft denim should theoretically look after heavy wear. But achieved through epic gardening.
Everyone's pic posts are kick ass. Keep it up. This thread is so ill.

On the money with the mud dyed comment..They are so sick

Hey all. After reading all 80 pages, I still have a question.
I tried on the 666 a couple of days ago, size 36. The fit is perfect and I see that I can count on the waist stretching back out after the first soak. However, what about the thighs? I've got 22.5" thighs and while the sizing info looks like I should be fine, I've had difficulty with my Flat Head 3xxx (Flat Head x Naked & Famous collab), which actually have a bigger measured (pre soak) thigh.
Tough to compare two different brands and weights, but does anyone have any experience/thoughts?
-

What beatle said is true for me too. I'm a size 33 in both flat head 3001 and IH 666s. Slightly more room in butt and thigh on the 3001. Slightly. But I think that collab you're talking about is not a flat head cut, right? I think it's a tapered cut by naked & famous and it uses that 3xxx denim… I wanted me a pair of them
-
Right. I edited my post. It's a Weird Guy cut, with 3xxx denim, not 3001. I've compared pre-soak sizing on the two and the FHs actually measure bigger than the IHs, but from what I've read, FH denim shrinks pretty substantially.
Since the IHs fit so well raw, I think that I'm going to get them and wear them for the first soak. That way they're guaranteed to still fit. Though buying the Devil's Fit on Friday the 13th…
I've also PMd Giles for his opinion.

I know that replying to my own post is bad form, but after hearing from Giles last night I'm on my way up to the shop this afternoon to buy my first pair of Iron Hearts! Can't wait!
