IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[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.

@babyknight:

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…

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...

Great Seul i like it, let em settle and give another soak or wash, dont think too much about this taper stuff imho they will come along nicely

[rocket]

Seul, thats a great fit and cut on you….

[beautiful_FrEaK]

have to agree with the others. It 'looks' great!
But in the end they also have to 'feel' great to you

[rocket]

less thinking and more wearing will sort that….

[Seul]

There's déf some shrinkage left… But it won't be enough to win me over, I'm sure. Too bad.

Still: 34" inseam "sprint runs" would be awesome... The inseams keep getting longer thus the chance of scoring a jeans with a nice taper = smaller... Too bad...

[davito]

Seul but they should taper a bit more than your 25ers even when hemmed, no?

[Seul]

No.

[davito]

I would give em a chance but its not my size

[Anesthetist]

Sorry fir the blurriness but its 5 am!

[Finn666]

two great fits seen so far! well done gents…
eli i know where you coming from...they look like "just" a straight cut on you without any taper! not that the fit isn´t a nice one, it really is, but i understand your "problem"!
and i´m with you on running some 34" inseam versions!...

[tatmantall]

Seul- proly my favorite fit I've seen you in.

Anesthetist-marvelous sir!!

I really like the way these are looking

[seanocono]

Seul, Anesthetist, great fits all around.

I know taper is a matter of personal preference, but I would be thrilled to have a pair of jeans fit me that well, Seul.

[joesaintjohn]

^^
Agreed. When your waist is a 40, like mine, taper is completely out of the question.

[Seul]

I'm spoiled - blaming the 666-XHS'es…
