      I'm 5'8" and 155 lbs. I got a 32 and had them hemmed to a 33.5.  So after 24 hours of wear, (i work 12 hour shifts) I have to say they're not as uncomfortable as I thought they would be. Unless I have to sit down, go up or down steps, bend over, walk, or breathe. Other than that they're great!  I'm glad I didn't go with the 31.  I think after a months or so of wear, they'll be perfect.  The fit and finish is second to none, like everyone else has stated.  You don't really have any idea of the quality until you're holding them in your hand.  They are beating me up a bit though.  My legs are physically tired at the end of the night. Im on my feet walking for 12 solid hours.  My hips and where the top button sit are sore by morning.( I work the night shift)  Overall, i couldn't be happier.  I can feel the work that is going to go into these, and I'm excited because I know it will be worth it!

          Believe me wearoften: after 2 weeks of wear, they become amazingly soft and comfortable!.. I had bruises on my hips as well, only was able to put on shoes I could slip my feet in, and thought on going up and down stairs on all 4… So yeah... It gets easier... Just... Wear 'm often...

              well they don't really become soft and comfortable after 2 weeks. i think about a month.. well in my case at least, and i wore them everyday! well 1 thing i'm sure of is running in these jeans really conditions a man.. they weigh a ton, it really feels different walking in these and in a lighter pair

                If he's walking in them 12 hours/ day, I'd say that'd speed up the process… Soaking them might help a bit as well...

                  Yes its my money and my decision but there is  nothing wrong with everyone having their own opinion on what i did.  I mean i never ever used sand paper and everyone seems to believe that.  Either way i cheated in some way or other.  I do have a question.  Why is it ok to take a sea wash and rub sand on ur jeans…Why is that ok..Its sand and sand is sand.  Double standard because a lot of people do that but if i take a dry eraser its a big no no.  Please someone explain to me what the difference is so I can know for myself (Not sarcasm)

                  In many internationally renowned brands, like Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and PRPS, altered denim is considered an added value. Artificial fading, if done manually, is an art, and can greatly increase the price of a pair of jeans. From this point of view, I think that your work on your 666XHS is not bad at all!
                  And I don't think you can define it "cheating". Not exactly.

                  Personally, I really love my jeans when they are new, and I try to preserve them for as long as possible. I did, however, a sea and sand treatment to my 666sod, because I was curious, but I must admit, I haven't had great results as well.

                  When I cheat, I go with Photoshop…  😉

                      I wore my 666XHS for more then 6 months, then I washed and put them to rest, waiting for autumn and a new tour-de-force. Last week, however, I wanted to give them a try and, surprise, I noticed that they shrunk a bit, around 0.5 "everywhere! Not a problem, because meanwhile I lost some grams of weight (now I am a true 28!), but these monsters shrink… They do! I believe that finally, with one or two days of wear, they will resume their original size.
                      My god, 25oz denim under a 39-40 degrees are really a straitjacket!
                      ... but a cool one!

                        Yeah they shrink a bit but they do stretch again fairly quickly. All in all the Beast behaves a bit like normal jeans…

                          Pretty pumped - got these on sale through Self Edge yesterday. Getting them hemmed so I suppose they won't arrive for a week or two. Maybe still too warm to wear during the day, but should be good for night time.

                            don't worry mate. it's good for our tropical weather. have worn mine in Singapore and they are just fine. good for both day and night. 😉

                              Just got confirmation that my 666XHS have been shipped from Self Edge. It's been really hot and humid this week, but I'm headed off to the wilderness next Friday, for a week, and they'll be perfect for the cold nights.
