IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I only managed button the top button to see if they fitted me in the waist and they did. They are gonna need a lot of wear before they get comfortable. But they will become comfortable!
Yeah had the same experience… And yeah: they will become the most comfortable jeans you've ever worn in time... Trust me: I'm been doing 25 oz time since Nov 2011...

Some quick pics of my 8 months worn 25 oz Devils. Had to get them in while the sun was shining. You never know when it's going to disappear here in Michigan. Worn daily for 12 hours. This was my warm up for The Mega Beatle Busters. I think I'm ruined for regular denim from here on out!

During the weekend it was time to clean and tidy up the roof terrace and the area around the block I live in. Wearing my new 666 I volunteered for the jobs that required a lot of bending down and sitting on the knees. We were at it for five hours on Saturday and it was a great way to start breaking in the beast (which is what I’m calling them now). Of course at the end of the day I my skin was red from the hips down to my upper thighs. But no pain, no gain. They have already comformed a bit to my body.
Here is a pic from the session. I had to stop cuffing the beast because there was a lot of dirt and old leaves accumulating in the cuff.
When it came to buttoning the pants I gave up doing it with just my hands, so I jammed in a plastic spike-thingy with no sharp edges and turned it around a couple of times in each hole. That helped somewhat, but they are still not easy to button.
Hajduk: Sure, I’m always up for beer.
Veintiuno: I’m not sure I’m going to soak them. I feel I got a headstart in breaking them in and I’m afraid a soak will ruin that.
Wearoften: Nice!

Pushranger,
Didn't soak mine. Shoe horned myself into them and wear them everyday at work in body shop/panel shop. I un-cuff when I weld, don't want to catch splatter in the cuff, the 25oz makes a good welding blanket !
Looking good, wear'em

Hey all.
So I invested in my first pair of Iron Hearts about three weeks ago. 666xhs in a 33 waist. Mostly love 'em, the denim, colour, toughness and quality is top notch, as you all know.
Alas, I'm trying my hardest to fall in love with the cut. Everything from the knee up - perfect! But I'm blessed with a power-lifter's thighs and ballerina's feet, so I can't escape the feeling that I could get a bit more taper from the knee down to about a 7.5inch leg opening. I won't change the length 'cause I like to change the cuff depending on footwear. I've got a good tailor who'd do a cracking job, but I'd love to get a few other opinions before I make the call. I know I'm being pedantic, but half a gorilla is big $ for a pair of jeans (for me) and I don't wanna rush into anything.
Here's some shots, all post-soak, some a week in, the others 3 weeks.
Ps. I'm glad none of my housemates sprung me prancing around taking photos of myself in the back yard.
