IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[Seul]

So fucking stoked… It's gonna be insanely hard to decide whether to keep these or the ALD Prescotts...

Can't wait to see the fit pics. I'm tempted to jump on these but I am in love with my Devils right now.

Here are my fit pics!

These are the shrink test pair and they are amazing!!!  Super duper comfy; I think i've gotten used to 21oz and 25oz jeans, which are great, but these bad boys are incredible too.  I mean I even got all the buttons in on the first try, never happened before.  Same great quality and attention to detail that IH always brings to the table, just a lighter denim.  Perfect for the summer.  Anyone on the fence on these, I strongly recommend them.  Looking forward to some more lighter weight and LHT denim in the future!  Also go great with the 78 shirt :-).

Congrats on a great fitting pair of jeans! Can't wait to open that blue bag tomorrow and get mine soaking.

Perfect, skutubu.

No pre-soak pics. No time. Came home, tossed 'm in the machine (delicate cycle, 30 C° @ 800 RPM), drying over night, wearing tomorrow…

Hung 'm up to dry… Looks like there won't be enough taper down the knee for me...

^send´em Mike´s way then

[Seul]

Nah - lemme see what happens tomorrow first…

C'mon UPS..hurry up! Sorry to hear that Seul.

Hooked on the heavy stuff…" might be to lite for me " time will tell.

These seem almost close to a slim-straight cut, slightly more than the 666S which were already somewhat near slim-straight (as opposed to say the 555 cut which I think is a true slim cut).  Does that sound right?  If so these could  be perfect for my next pair…

Super fast crummy pic of pre soak. I was too excited to get them soaked to worry about it any more
I'll do a comparison to my LHT Busters when the fabric is dry.

Love the sheen those have ^ looks like its gonna be an incredible fit! E

[Nerkg]

Can someone post a macro of the weft side, there's no close up on the product page

[Anesthetist]

I will when mine dry, unless someone beats me to it.

Sorry don't understand the question.

I tend to agree that the 666 cut would be better advertised as 'slim-straight' rather than just 'slim'.

Then again, it's just an issue of semantics, and perhaps it doesn't affect peoples purchasing decisions. Dunno.

I think it's all relative, RnR.  On you, they may be slim-straight.  On me, they would be jeggings.  The Vulcans would probably be straight on you, but they would be slim-straight on me.  I'm pretty sure Team IH has put some thought into this.

I think we can all agree that this denim looks fantastic.  I'm really curious to see its evolution, and I'm happy it's being supported so well.  This makes the likelihood of a 634 cut even greater.

What Haraki-san should do, is a run with a 34" inseam for the Japanese market… I'd buy the shit out of one of those... I had these hemmed to a 33" inseam and this is what you get (post soak, although I'm sure some shrinkage is still left):

Tagged size 33 that measured 33.5" unsoaked, after a 30C° wash @800RPM:

82 cm inseam (just over 32")
41 cm waist unaligned (16..1"), 43 aligned (just under 33)
22 cm legopening (8.6")

First of all, the fabric… Jesus tapdancing christ is it nice...

But, the fit is no good for me… The taper is gone because I had them shortened so much...
