IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

agreed. sloppy is the word i was trying to describe but couldn't put my head to it. this makes you look neat/smart or whatever but i just prefer this look more than you in the beatle buster.

G, would you say these fit bigger than FH 3009 in the same size?

Sorry I know you asked Giles, ill just tell you I have both. 3009, much fuller cut, esspesially the thighs. I had both in 34

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

How about the top block? Essentially I'm interested in knowing which pair has more give post soak. And I find that the size charts provided by Flat Head jeans are almost entirely off–it's ridiculous. (Pre soak measurement for 34s was 15.7 compared to the 35 advertised on, say, SE.)

not G here PJ, FH3009 is therotically same cut as IH634, devils fit is slimmer. Have both like nerkg but do not wear the fh that much and they are in the Office for backup so not able to do a direct comparison right now. Overall the devils are superslim where 3009 are straight leg with bit of taper knee down.

3009 don't give well. My 34 post soak was 31 3/4, after a month it hardly stretched at all, so I got a 36 soaked in near boiling water, waist is 33 1/2, a little relaxed fit but a welcome change..

The 3009 is a 1966 cut, so similar to the 634S, the 666 is a slimmer cut.

Thanks, nerkg; that was more along the lines of what I was looking for. I was directing the question at G initially because I know that he, at times, carries Flat Head stock, so I was hoping I could get an idea of how both styles compare pre-soak. (i.e. if my 34 3009 has a pre-soak measurement of 15.7" in the waist, what does a 666s cut measure pre-soak–in reality, not just based on a universal chart--and is the denim more giving than the 3009 post soak.)

Giles

the 666s will end up the same in the waist as per soak size

Nerkg, you wear a 36 in both?

From my experience and reading from other FH owners just be aware that you may get bit more shrinkage out in FH over time than in unsanforised IH when washed with agitation.

For example I wear a 29 superslim in 666s and 30 in 3009. could easy wear a 30 still superslim in 666s and 3009 in 31. Freddy from VMC does it this way, we have almost the same built. But i like it sometimes even a bit slimmer than him.

Thank you very much, Davito. That is a lot of help.

Davito's a great guy - gave me some spot on advice when i was thinking about getting my own pair of 666s. I'm a tts 30 and opted for the same in the Devils. They fit me perfectly - struggled with that top button of course - but there's lots of stretch in them and a great slim fit.
