IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
I've recently got my 666S and gave it a first warm soak..It didn't shrink much and for the second time I gave it a hot soak..Notice only slight shrinkage..
The waist is still about 33.5 after the soaks for tag 33.Overall the fit is still ok but hope the waist can shrink down a little more.If I go for a third soak/machine wash will the color/fading be affected much?
-
Everytime I see pictures of those I am just in awe. They look so great.
-
I would say go for 31, or even a 32!
Thanks for the input Ronaldish. I may regret it but i'll pull the trigger on the 30s this evening.
As long as they won't look like denim leotards on me then i should be fine - i like slim but not Iggy Pop slim!

Hey Fergz-
I have a hunch we both like our fits slim to tight. I am a W 30 in the 634S and they fit me just how I like it. I tried on the 666 at DC4 here in Berlin, and actually needed a 32 in those. A 31 would have been seriously difficult, prolly close to what you call "leotards" or an Iggy Pop look.So a word of warning from a guy who not rarely hears "your jeans are too tight" from his denim compatriots.

Hmm…i hadn't considered 32s at all as judging from the measurements on the product page they'd be bigger than my 634S-RAWs. I'd be afraid that they'd be too big and loose. What sort of fit were those 32s like on you 501? Tight or comfy?
And yes - i like 'em slim
-
Deff on the snug side. The 31s were really difficult to button up, the 30s impossible. The 32 were fine, a tad looser than my W 30 634S, but not much.
-
Just to add more confusion, I wear 33 in the BB, the 666S and the 634S…..
Thanks for lobbing that grenade in there Giles. I had settled on the 30s, then the 31s, then the 30s and now I'm getting the measuring tape out and doing what i should have done in the first place!
-
Some real suspense building up. I trust you'll tell us not only how you decided, but how the fit is (Pics…) !

Okay - 30s ordered! Will post progress as soon as i land these beauties through my letterbox.
Bring it awn!

How i decided?
My 33 666S now measure 34…..
I'll save Giles typing that for the zillionth time! Hopefully i'll take up that baton and can say "my 30 666S now measure 31"

Really beats me how you managed, Davito. As explained before, a 30 666 -my standard size in the 634- was positively impossible to button up. And from the 31 the (always great and utterly knowledgeable) crew at DC4 warned me profusely, and I must admit, they did not look good, though normally I'd say there is no such thing as a jeans that fits TOO tight.
Only sensible explanation is that my "body proportion" is different. It increases my determination that my eventual (hopefully…) 666 will be a used one, with measurements carefully compared and considered.
Wish you lots of luck, Fergz, and am looking forward to reports as in a true cliffhanger.
-
Thanks for the interest guys!
Hey, Davito, what was the process of squeezing into the 29s like? Was it a case of calloused fingers, grunting, pulling, grimacing and eventually buttoning them up post soak or how did it go? Hot soak or cold? This may prove to be useful information in a few days!
-
You could always wear them for the soak or put a piece of wood in the waist (cut to size, of course).

Good advice.
If i can button them up I'll be fine i reckon. Soaking while wearing is a good idea too. All will be revealed!

Hello fans
I usually wear in all my IH's size 30 and in this case I sized down to 29
;). a 30 would have been probably fair enough to my friends downunder 
;).Waist is OK, thighs are still hugged but I think they should come along nicely with a bit of stretch
two pix from the elevator LOL.
good nite everybody

Hi 501 and Fergz this is one of my fits, hot soaked once. Essential in these pants are the thighs (they will shrink horizontally in the thighs area around 2% as well in the hot soak). waist will stretch pretty easy after wearing. Probably my ideal size would have been a 30 but I kinda like this rockstar look anyway
However, for my liking I do not like pants to size up in waist just to get the thighs right.I am kinda slim 173 cm and around 62kg, so I can take 29 with a bit of suffering at the beginning. But as you know I have a lot of jeans and too less legs so these beauties are not a lot on my body although I wish they would. mmmh maybe I should take them out of the cupboard right now
