IH-666Sod - Devil's Fit Overdyed - Super Slim Tapered
-
Seul I see that happening to a lot of peoples jeans. Is that due to a lack of water or is it almost guaranteed to happen regardless with real heavy denim?
-
Yea I remember that happened behind my knees pretty quickly at the points. Its safe to say u should introduce water a lot sooner and more frequent to the 25oz

i think this is going to happen to every pair of jeans (the stiffer the faster) when worn cuffed…if you´re wearing your denim single cuffed (or more) the denim from the cuff rubs against your shoes/boots while wearing...this causes tension and in the end, the denim is going to break at that spot...simple is that!

Search function! There are other explanations in the archives, but this is the oldest I've found, and its from H-san, so this works.
IIRC the 666od denim is unsanforized. So when it was overdyed in super hot water, the denim shrank and twisted. I have a pair of the SR's, which are also unsanforized and subject to twisting, but they have not touched hot water so the twisting is less severe than it could have been. There is no way to avoid it with minimally processed denim that has not been shrunk prior to sewing.
Harakis answer re: leg twist:
Fist of all, the denim of 634SR (unsanforized denim) is not skewed (which is a process to reduce leg twist) so it will twist. The denim is right-hand twill and the fabric will try to reverse, which causes side seam on left side leg to twist towards to middle of legs and inseam on right side leg skew toward to middle. So technically the twist is happening on both legs but twist on left side leg stand out more than right side leg.

That makes perfect sense, thanks. The only funciton I've figured out is the "Reply" function. I believe the forum should keep moving. There's never any truly new information being presented. People have been wearing pants for a pretty long time. They put on jeans, they take them off, sometimes they wash them. If all I do is search for old posts, what's the point of making new ones?

Can any of you fine people recommend a way for me to stretch the thighs even more on these bad boys? I've had my pair for a little over a year now, however, since I began working out my legs a few weeks ago, I've added a little too much muscle (I avoided any lower body lifting for this sole purpose for quite some time, but I need the strength). Now the fit is ridiculously tight and they're literally painful to wear… I have tried shoving my fists down into em whilst wearing numerous times but to no avail. At this point I feel like I should sell/trade them...

some guys will tell you crazy stories about, wood and clamps ad water and other such nonsense, i say trade them and be done with it, good luck. :))

Agreed. I finally gave up on a pair with the same issue and it is so pleasant to not force myself into them any more. Just call it a learning experience and move on. Slim cuts are not for us thicker thigh men.
