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

[grabby22]

Hi guys, I am new to Iron Heart and I am deciding on whether to get the Beatle Buster or the 666. Which one is slimmer? And I am not sure whether I should get a size 28 or a size 29 because I wear size 28 for my unsanforized PBJ XX-011 and size 29 for my sanforized Japan Blue x Momotaro 0100SP. Hope someone can help me, thanks!

Hanging up to drip dry right now, this denim is something else…

Did you soak or machine wash them? Debating on hot soaking or a warm/hot wash (light cycle to agitate) for max shrinking out of the bag.

[Chris]

Maximum shrinkage comes from agitation, so go with the machine wash.

G'damn Jeff! Your looking great buddy!

Well boys, looking like I'll be breakin in a new pair of these in a few weeks, thanks to Giles & the whole IR team. Can't friggin wait! Depressing part: trying on my now ripped-up 666S and realizing I've gained enough weight over the summer that I might need to size up one… damn why does beer need to taste so delicious!?

I put them in a tub of pretty hot water for an hour and a half ish, weighed down with plastic bags filled with hot water and they seemed to get the shrink out of them, that being noted I am a size 31 in 634s and went with 30 for these because the larger waist size in the newer batch let me try to sneak a size down for a super slim look :D.

Fit pics later today.

How different are the measurements on the new batch? I went for a size 30 on my last pair but those were purchased last summer.

Edit:
Scrollin through the thread and saw this.
@Hemi:

Damn that's a dope jacket & photo. Is this available on the US market? My daily jacket (when its not hot enough) is the perfecto her2 from barney's. Got it at a warehouse sail and fell in love with Schott jackets. Definitely would like to cop a couple more.
Here's a few showin off the jacekt:

dead: Take a look at the measurements in the first post of this thread and the current measurements on the shop website, should give you what you're looking for ( I hope ).

[MikeC]

Mr. Dead, the new run of 666S is 2 inches bigger in the waist than the initial runs. I'd go with the same size, it will prob fit you perfect.

[mr.dead]

Yea looking at the difference, I actually think the new run is a better fit for me all around.
