IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
finally got my measurements thinking about getting these.. quick question though is it necessary to soak these before wear? how bad is the shrinkage compared to the measurements after soak?
It is better to, but not 100% necessary. Hardly any shrinkage….

Hy there
1st post…
My IH-666-VMC...i have worn them 14 months. After 9 month i washed them for the first time. A second wash after 14 month.
It's realy hard to beat the beast! Especially when working in the office.
and a bonus-pic: a new one, i have them wear only 3 times, and 2 of my 6 cats; woody and phönix!
at the moment I'm wearing the 666 not so much anymore because I have a new project with the 634sr. one pair post-washed and a second pre-washed. both carried alternately.
happy weekend und greetings from switzerland

Hey folks
Thanks for reply and welcome.
@David: Hell yeah! I have u seen some time ago at VMC. It does not have a lot of people in zurich with also a IH-M65-jacket!
I have also heard that you are denim addictet like me! Always a great style on the pics.@Seul: I have seen your pics and i like very much how you wear your XHS! They look great!
Yeah, Switzerland rules! I'm curious who else is coming out of Switzerland. Ruedi certainly. Finn maybe too. But it also has many other great people and nations in the forum. Maybe i meet the one or the other… -
Dave, i have imposed on myself a house banned at VMC, because I've bought too much at the last time! But i will check if friday work probably. I have to pick up the new heritage post…
Thanx, have also a great weekend! I still do a short round with my Triumph bevor my mother in law visit us.Finn, i see...

@RP:
Looking good Seul. As always, a strong crotch fade (aka "The Seul").
Fucking A… Brilliant RP!.. You could use a beefier belt though mate... Yours is like having a tiger and dressing it up in a tutu...
This is the belt I had on in my photo. Maybe it didn't show up well.
3Sixteen Heavyweight Belt
What kindve belt is that ^^^^

Soooo… After my first pair of Iron Hearts, I'm ready for more and the 666 seems to be what I'm looking for. But with pants that cost 500$ I have to do due dilligence when it comes to size. So here we go:
My actual size is 32" when I measure my pants. The Beatle Busters I have now was size 32 when I bought them and the could be a little smaller in the waist. So I'm thinking size 31" when I look at the sizing-table for the 666.

For a slim look, pull your stomach in for a few weeks and wait for it to stretch (it will eventually). For a less slim look, use a belt or give them a hot soak.
This 25 oz denim are not busy making friends, but with patience and love, it will surrender, and you will finally realize, that behind this hard and hostile shell, hides a very soft and gentle piece of leg wear
Enjoy

Pushragner, some facts:
-
tagged size 32 in the Busters (regular ones yeah?) measures around 31 unworn and there's no shrinkage… Were they snug at the beginning and did they stretch?..
-
tagged size 31 in the XHS'es measures 32 from the getgo but there's a little bit of shrinkage... Bout 0.5 - .75", def no more though... Plus they will stretch (albeit much more slowly) about an inch... You also can wear them for a while before soaking or washing (so to stretch them before having the shrinkage take place)...
-
what I'd suggest doing is measure the Busters (thighs and waist), and compare to the size chart for the XHS'es...

i have the same problem with sizing too…im in between a size 32 and 33 at the moment...so knowing that i got the tag size 32 which is actually a 33.. im just afraid that when i get it in the mail tomorrow and try it on that it'll fit perfect around the waist.. which is bad for me knowing itll stretch out to about in inch after a handful of wears.. also itll be a problem because if i do want to size down on the waist then i know for a fact that my thighs will not fit in the tag size 31..im kindve stuck too right now so i guess ill have to hope for the best and find out tomorrow when they come in
