IH-666Sod - Devil's Fit Overdyed - Super Slim Tapered
-
Oh if only I'd sized these correctly (or put on more weight), still I do love them…
-
Yes, I've gone the opposite route. Which saves me a bit more money, unfortunately I'm now on the shortest hole of my 02 :(. I'll need to get another belt soon.
Or another pair of Devils…

hey guys i just bought a pair of 666od in w34 and i tried them on and they were literally skin tight around knee up. i was able to button the 3rd to highest button but even that was pretty hard. do they stretch around a bit? i like a skinny fit but no where near skin tight… or should i just go up to the next available size which would be a w36?
i wear a w34 in the ih-634s

Stretching the thighs out isn't going to be fun, though. Try doing some squats in them while they're damp, that might help.

the denim is still rigid & stiff__ w/c makes it feel even tighter. denim is sanforized + ODed, so there's no other natural tendency, but for it to stretch when they become more pliant__ as fabric soften up from wear.
yea, u can do squats while still damp. down-side is knee bulge__ but, you can easily steam the bulges off

thanks guys. i wore them around the house for a few hours and it has stretched a bit but i dont think its gonna get to a point where its comfortable for me. i made some measurements on my 634s using the iron heart measurement guide and the waist stretched out to a w36. so i think im going to exchange the 666od for a w36 tag size.
right now the measured waist size of my 666od is a 32 with a tag size of 34.

I went through the same thing, I think you should stick with it. They will always be tight but the waist will get to 34 eventually, 2 mos at most as long as you're wearing them every day. It's worth it. I would have sized up 35 but I think 36 would have been too much and I'm not a slim guy. I'm about 5'10", 175lb. Take a picture and let us see what you've got going on.

seems like a similar case to mine. got a W34 and they measured 32" as well. could only button till the 3rd while the last button seems so far from it. i wondered to myself "I couldn't even button the top button (which IMHO is crucial in stretching the waist) so how the feck can I even stretch it?!"
to sum it up, I sold it off at a huge loss of USD170 for a literally brand new pair. the mate who got it eventually tried to sell it at USD200 after he couldn't fit in too.
-
IMO, 1 to 1.5" stretch on a sanforized +overdyed is sooo doable.
you just need patience & basic stretching technique.'just posted this @SuFu quite recently. dampen top block & gradually stretch out the waistband, ie, by stepping onto 1 end & pulling on the other end. once able to get the amount of stretch needed, button up, & shove a stick or hanger [ie, that measures to your actual "wearing" waist] against the waistband til jeans fully dry.
keep the routine each time you soak/wash until the denim stabilizes. the purpose of this exercise is to "break" waistband by tempering/conditioning.
-
^ but would the jeans shrink back after wash? do we have to do it everytime we wash the jeans? im just curious…
-
that's why you keep the waistband braced w/hanger until the denim stabilized.
nevertheless, i wouldnt say [absolutely] not, but i did use the routine on a few pairs i got [Samurai 5000ai-sp, Momo 701, FC 1108c]. in my personal experience, the denim stabilized @around 4th wash. after the "training stick" was off, the waist would shrink a bit after wash [like normal], but stretches back out in a jiffy
…. also, i'm currently doing it on my sized-down IH634s-OD, Sam Blue Shadow, & Momo 702

Interesting BrownIcon, now if only I could do this with the thighs of certain pairs!
-
Try this…
Slightly dampen the front of the waist in warm water while slightly dampening the rear of the waist in cold water, then hang them upside down in a cedar closet for 27 hours, then iron the hems with an iron filled with vinegar instead of water since vinegar steam is a natural slackener, then put them on a blow up sex doll and alternately inflate/deflate with helium for 7 hours, then tie 3 beltloops to one horse while the legs are tied to another and let them play tug of war (note: horses should be smallish lest you risk tearing the jeans).
Or you could just wear them until they fit. Call me crazy.

inseam, you stretch by pulling while damp.
thighs, 'afraid not cuz weave is at different direction [ie, different axis]… but, you can get about 0.5" stretch normally just from wear. -
