IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[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…

[emceeQ]

The XHS will certainly spoil ya.  Regardless of the HWDC, I don't really want to wear anything else, they're just so awesome.

That being said, the fit on these does look good on you seul…

[MikeC]

I agree with Seul. The taper is non-existent, if you chop a few inches off the 38.5" inseam. They look more like 634Ls than 666Ls.

shit we always have to deal with i fear…btw. who the hell needs a 38.5" inseam?! ???

[seanocono]

Me, tatmantall, unharmed, Bluegrass, d666, and I'm sure quite a few others.

And you can always subtract, but not add…..

@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.

Basically are these are more of a straight cut below the knee.  Sounds like yes, unless going with a very long inseam.

Btw Anesthetist, I think they look great on you.

[Anesthetist]

Thanks BK, and it seems that the taper isn't really all noticeable even with a 34 inch inseam (pre 35"). However, the fabric is the superstar here and is really great. Here are a few pics:

TW v IH

Lastly 14.5oz LHT v 25oz RHT

After dinner (Chimay Red), I'll get better fit pics!

[seanocono]

Great shots, Anesthetist. Thank you.

[Anesthetist]

With my brand new 80, yesterday was a good day of IH for me!

[babyknight]

very nice!  love that fit and the cut.

[seanocono]

Win on both counts, Anesthetist.

[skutubu]

Solid look Anesthetist!

[bagley920]

Mickey likes your fit!

[Haddtoo 555]

Very nice…what size is that 80...once again, very nice

Thanks everyone and it is a medium.

Probably too late, but I think the fit on those jeans is one of your best, if not the best, Eli.

Unless otherwise directed, Haraki will always put 1/2" (1" circumference) taper from the knee to the hem.  That is true of the 666L and the 666L , you will lose approx 1/20th of an inch of that taper for ever inch you shorten.
