IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[nietenhosen]

nope, no sizing up. I'm a 32" and W32" fits tiptop.

[Giles]

I have just had to endanger these, I did not realise it at the time, but I used all the denim up on the initial run….

That's not so good to read. Was hoping to see some evo before any triggers pulled.

A quick question: I need to get mine hemmed and now have a very good idea of the length I want based on my 634s. The 666Ls have had one soak, no washes and limited wear. Am I safe to go ahead and hem now or should I expect further shrinkage/changes in the way they fit with further wear and washes?

[davito]

I would count a reserve of approx 1 inch in or give em a wash with full spin to get all shrinkage out before the hem, imho

Thanks guys, sounds like I should at least wash them. Seren, did you do a spin cycle?

[seren]

Yes I did. But only 400 rpm.

I've seen that calico before and I can't recall where…

[Snowy]

The whole back row looks like sugarcane tags or mr freedom, I'd take a hint @ 1 of the other.

Nice window makeup! Obbi, IH, SC, MFSC.

[davito]

Calico should be post overalls, left above MF sportsman shirt Hickory right above should be MF ranchero calico and vest from Viva la revolucion.

The devils patch is really really nice

[Snowy]

^and this is why you're da man, nice one mate (hopefully no cheating by checking out in person xox )

[mclaincausey]

You're exactly goddamn right. Now that I hear it the memory is jogged.  Well done man!

And btw it's a nice calico hence it nearly surviving the Swiss cheese of my brain.

[Bluegrass]

wow davito, i am impressed!

[tatmantall]

I think a 634 cut in this denim would make my head explode.

[mclaincausey]

Heh I just noticed there's a Post label on the calico

[davito]

Haha guys no no cheating, yeah post overalls is a label on it hehe my elder eyes worked fine

Hmmm that devils Hand is my size

Tat this Devil cut would be nice for you, no?

[tatmantall]

I've considered it very strongly but the thigh is going to be cutting it REAL close. I'd be interested to hear personal experience with the stretch in that area on this denim of anyone has had any.
