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

[Giles]

I thought you'd like that…...

Man… I'm gonna be broke...

Decided not to sleep on these…

Went with the 32, even though I think the thigh (and potentially the waist) could be an issue for me post-soak.  The knee and hem measurements on the 33 are pretty similar to my 21oz Busters, which is a tad to wide for what I want these for (smarter & slimmer silhouette, basically).  Therefore, un-hemmed at this stage too...

Pre-soak fit-pics when they land, to get everyone's take on whether they're right for me!

I am tremendously excited for my IH ORDER THIS WEEK!!!!

If my knees weren't so old and rickety I'd be doing cartwheels over the sizing on this run!!! MyMBB contest jean may look close to brand new come 2015 with these now in my possession!!!!!!!!!

[Bluegrass]

hmmmmm, why no measurements on TS38?  Looks like there are a couple of pairs in stock…

[Giles]

Because they are the old run and don't look logical mixed up with the new run.  Working out how to deal with that

[Bluegrass]

makes sense….. see the dilemma....

[trapp]

These look like a great cut.

Just make another shop entry, one titled old run and one titled new run until the old ones sell

[Giles]

Good solution…...Thanks.

Shrink test results for size 33 IH-666S and IH-666L

G, why the new restock of 666s have a different sizing chart?
anw how do i know my 666s are still zimbabwe cotton or not?

[Giles]

1. Because we used a new batch of denim and we thought it would shrink more than previous batches, so we made the raws a but larger - we were wrong.
2. None of our denim is Zimbabwe any more and has not been for about 3 years.  It is all American.

That's interesting. Thanks for the info Mr. Giles!

What is the cotton specifically? Is it a blend?

[Giles]

It is a blend.  Haraki specs exactly what he wants and then Ono-san from TSS sources it….

[Guest]

Thanks for the gee-whiz info Mr. G! Is it a super secret blend, particularly for this 18oz denim?

Sorry, I'm a nerd about this stuff. I like to brag and talk about the quality and little details of my jeans to my wife

Funny to hear you say that! Me too, but my wife just rolls her eyes… I want to get her some nice denim so she appreciates it.
