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

[tatmantall]

The shrinkage is going to eventually happen any way you slice it. By using cool soaks your just prolonging the inevitable. I do exactly what Seul suggested put it in a hot wash. When you do this you will get the majority, if mot all, of the shrinkage out of the way. After that's all do e you can get down to gettin dirty with em!

Looks good now.  Wear em. Wash em.  Then wear em some more.  Then see what you're thinking.

Really considering purchasing another pair and sizing down due to the lack of shrinkage… Thought I had it fixed but these stretch out pretty easy  and just not happy with the fit in the top block of my 31s... Bummer :-\

how much stretching do you think I can get in the thighs of these?  Bought a tagged size of 31 and the thighs measure 12" now.  I wanted to get more in the thighs of my jb0701 which measure 12" now.  Just trying to compare and seeing if another size/model will fit be better

^ what about the IHxB-01? it's a bit wider in thigh, knee and hem! so should be perfect for you…

[Giles]

You'll get 1/2 inch or so with enough pressure

Does the 18oz denim have that smooth, velvety feel on the inside of the fabric, much like the 21oz has?  I love the 666 cut of my ducks, but not sure about which denim to go for.  21 oz is by far my favourite, so just wondering how this compares.

[hajduk]

the 18oz doesn´t have that feel.
i am really with you about the 21oz. this fabric is magic!
G, a production of the 666 cut with the 21oz denim, possible soon…?

[Giles]

It's possible, but we have a shit load of new jeans hitting over next few months, so I need to get that lot sorted first….

[Isquach]

So the IHxb01 is in between 666 and 634?  And I'm looking at the sizing and it looks like I'd get 33 maybe 32?  Because I love how the 666s fit from knee down but I just need a roomier upper block.  Maybe if I could somehow stretch the thighs an inch

[Giles]

Yes between

I wear the same "tag size" in 666 18oz and BB 21oz, both fit well but differently.  The 666s have a lower rise and slimmer thighs than the BBs. Very different fit/cuts imo.  But ultimately just trust and go with the measurements on the site.  The BBs won't shrink much.

[tatmantall]

I agree that these are very different cuts…. the rises are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

I went for these in a 29, usually a 31…..love these bu just greeting used to having to struggle to tie my laces!

[Bluegrass]

Good Lord!  Good luck with that… might need to invest in some loafers.
