Anyways here some pics of my 666's ( sorry so small ) from old Tuck Shop Singapore after having 4.5" taken off the length…...they really did not shrink that much and have stretched back out to pre soak measurements. Very happy with the outcome. many thanks to the guys at Tuck Shop for the many beers i enjoyed that night.

Looks great lucky, these are seriously my favourite jeans in the whole world after just a week of wearing them, I don't think I could ever wear another fit after finding the one that suits me so perfectly and comfortably.
Although I always have this problem in my raws where I get feck all combs behind my left knee and crazy good ones behind my right…

Hi Guys,
I have a pair of 666s 32" that have now been worn for a couple of weeks and i'm trying to gage if there is any shrinkage left.
They have had a initial a warm soak and a machine handwash (no spin) @ 30 to give some agitation and apart from the length i didn't really get much other shrinkage
Current measurements are (IH way)
666s - Tagged 32"
Waist 17"
Front Rise 10.5"
Rear Rise 14.5"
Thigh 11.6
Knee 8.5"
Hem (@ 32.5" leg) 8.2"
For reference original leg length i got to 35.25" with a 7.85" hem opening
Seem to have stretched in the topblock and are hanging off my skinny butt.Any shrinkage left if i did a hotter wash?

Hello!
I have been looking at the Iron heart products for quite some time now.
I have fallen in love with both the 666 and 634.
It was hard to decide between the two but I have come to the conclusion that I will get the 666S model. I can always buy the 634 model later on.But I got one problem.
Sizing.I currently use a pair of Edwin ED49 rainbow selvage in size 32. They fit me great directly after I washed them but after a few wears they stretch quite a bit.
I have heard that Edwin varies in waist size quite a bit and got vanity sizes. Got a pair of Nashvilles size 32 (31 would probably fit me better) as well and they are bigger then my ED-49.I use a Tanner goods standard belt size 34 in the middle hole.
Anyone here who has any personal experience with the Tanner goods standard belt or the Edwin ED-49 or Nashvilles that could help me out so I get the "right" size for my 666S order.

After getting minimal shrinkage from two hot soaks, I did a hot wash with Woolite Dark (no spin cycle) and got the inseam down to 37." I still would like to get another inch of shrinkage out of these, so I might try a final hot wash before giving up and sending these to be hemmed. Does anyone know if Woolite Dark is a good "lubricant" to use, or should I go with a "normal" detergent?
I love so many things about these jeans, except for the "bagginess" around the lower leg/ankle area. I really wish they tapered a bit more. I'm hoping that shrinking to 36" and throwing on a 2" cuff (vs. hemming) will help with this.

I sorely need that green chambray in my life.

Would love a pair of these in 36

Hey everyone,
first post here. And I already have a question: I bought my first pair of IHs (also first pair of raw denim) yesterday. Now, after the soak the 666S in 29" fits a little tight but after it stretches out I guess it will be pretty much perfect.
The only thing that has me scratching my head is the front pockets. I can't get my hands into them… or rather, it takes quite a bit of wiggling my hands to get them in there, and then it's not very comfortable. Will this stretch out a bit after some use?
-
They should stretch out, but it may take a while and be painful if you want to fit your whole hand in the pocket.

Sorry for the shitty glare, but this will give you a better idea on the fit. When I got into IH, I thought I was a waist 36 with a 13.5 thigh. Boy was I wrong. These are a 34 with a 12.3 thigh. I can prob do 12 for the thigh, but that would be pushing it. I understand that some of you have large thighs due to lifting or cycling, but I think people should try shit out before they say it doesn't fit. This is my vote for the best design to come out of IHUK.

Thanks! That's reassuring. I already feared I'd have to make do without any front pockets. And a little pain while breaking them in will be well worth it, because the fit is spot-on for my (pretty slim) frame.
The fit looks very good on you too, MikeC!
