IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Hey Dirty Denim.
The 666 XHS hardly stretches except from waist, compared to the 666s which i think is to loose in the weaving, resulting in a baggy but fit
I would def go for the XHS in a size 33 waist. Compared to Grim Tim the 666 aren´t that slim, so if you choose 34 you may feel to baggy, and after all if being to small in the waist, you just take a deeeep breath….........
When it comes to fading, my experience is that the XHS is harder to break in compared to 666s, but i really like the XHS because they can be soaked and even washed in wool program (without spin cycle) without loosing that much indigo.
Be aware that the 666XHS are really hard to stretch in the thighs compared to Nudie.Enjoy

Thanks a lot Colour Ghost, Would u compare the fit on the 666XHS or 666 to say a Diesel Safado or a Levi 505? I am trying to picture and get an idea of how they will fit on me.

Dirty D.
If you choose size 33 my guess is that the 666 are slimmer compared to the diesel and levis.
Go measure some of your best choice jeans and compare it with the 666.
My 666 XHS size 33 measured after 3 month of almost constant wear.
Waist : 44,5 cm
Thighs : 31,2As an alternative to the 666 - the SEX13 -23 OZ (from selfedge) - almost the same fit but you have to size down to 31 waist. They are a little more tight and with a lower front and backrise, and of course indigo colored stitching, and a slightly darker denim with a purple cast (glow/shine)….well love these jeans to.
Enjoy

Yea ima go with the 33's considering they are sanfornized did u have them hemmed prior to receiving them or did u wait till after
-
I´m 6,5 (198cm) so no hemming for me
Dont see a reason for you to wait with the hemming thing, just make sure to leave an extra 0,7 inch for the honeycombs to be created (they will take a little of the length), + a little shrinkage after the first soak, but i guess Giles is a jedi in that business.

Ok my order is in for these bad boys. Went with 33 in the waist & hemmed to 34.5. I will be glued to my mailbox for the next few days yearning for the mailman to walk up with that box filled with GOLD
-
The mailman doesn't walk up to the house with these. He has to have 2 helicoptors airlift them. Or if your house has a loading bay he can back his truck up to it and forklift them into your closet for you. Then you'll need to call the fire department to help you with the buttons. After that, you're on your own.

My fiance just came up to me an hour after i had already told her I bought $500 jeans and said with that disgusted face we all know so well "Did u really just buy $500 jeans" I responded with a resounding "You'll see" lol
-
Never tell the truth DD. They cant handle it
To make her understand better, take a pair of her $100 boots and ask her how many days or even weeks she spend wearing them, and be ready with the calculator.
Do exactly the same math with your 666XHS in lets say 600-700 days from now (damn i just imagined a pair of XHS after 700 days of wear…....cool)If she still dosnt understand.............lie. Tell her it was a joke
Congrats with your slooooooow order

At the last Iron Heart party in Gosport, some one asked Haraki how he managed to get away with having so many Harley's. His answer "I paint them all the same colour"
That is fekkin classic & genius

Here's the reason I had to tell her. With paypal u get an email telling u everytime u use the card. So while im in my computer room thinking about the day my jeans will arrive she gets an email saying You sent a payment of $510 to Iron Heart. Her being the lil book keeper that she is comes running into my cave. WHen i saw her in the door I felt like she just walked in on me with another woman & immediately wanted to tell her "REALLY BABE OMG WE BETTER CALL PAYPAL" LOL
-
it was better if you told her you had bought an artificial heart…
Right I could have said Iron Heart is this company that finds hearts for people in need
-
I won!
After 15 days, they have surrendered!The bike has been quite useful in this battle (see the sweat on my shirt), but do not try this at home, these jeans are not the ideal choice to go biking. Now infamous, are-u-tough-enough frightening 666-XHS are docile as kittens!
THese look great

change the email address at which Paypal sends its receipts, better yet open another paypal for you only.
