IH-666S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Slim Cut (The Devil's Fit)

[summ3rhays]

Yes they are the 36. Waist is a little large, but a hot soak brought them down a touch.

I'm 6" tall, but have proportionately short legs.

[Seul]

Those look absolutely perfect on you, summ3r!..

Some pics, because now I'm only limited by my "skill" rather than having to use my phone…

first touch of evo I noticed on Sunday morning

And one of the patch, because I really like it and I don't think I've posted one yet

And a terrible comparison with my VMCs

[JamesMarg]

Those combs are setting in nicely Morose!
In the last picture they look so light, and some white seems to be poking through already!?
Surely just the lighting?

[JamesMarg]

Oh wait….
I'll shut up, i didn't read the VMC's bit... HAHA

[Morose_Penguin]

Yep, the lighter pair are my IH666-VMC, over two years old now. You've just bought a pair as the IH666-XHS.

Great pics, Morp 

[Morose_Penguin]

Really? Really? ;)… Thanks.

[Jpie14]

These jeans look beautiful!!
I wouldve pulled the trigger by now if I hadnt just bought my raw busters
but… hey Giles would you consider overdying these??

@Jpie14:

Probably not…

[Morose_Penguin]

I think with the unknown qualities of a new denim any over dying would be a hideous risk. Possibly a few years down the line when more is known about how it behaves…

Just thought I'd stick my oar in.

Oh, it's been pretty much a week of wear now and this morning was the first morning that I didn't scream in rage and frustration trying to get these buttoned :). They have finally submitted to my will.

Probably do another waist measurement tomorrow to see how they have stretched...

@Morose_Penguin:

Nail, hit, head.

[Morose_Penguin]

Seem to be on a roll this morning :). Might buy a lottery ticket later…

[Max Power]

What fast evo! Looking forward to see these faded. Might be more tempting than the UHR…

[Morose_Penguin]

Yep,

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to them.

Excited to see how these stretch. Personally I really like how much the 18oz denim gives but I'd be okay with more give.
Seems like these will have incredible fading properties.
What are the chances of there being a 555-19L? Cause that'd be awesome.

[Giles]

Always a chance, but I need to see how the 19-L we have out already do first…..G

[Morose_Penguin]

Well, I measured them this morning. After a week of pretty much constant daily wear (apart from Thu and Fri 6hrs per day on those days) they now measure 15.5".

So an inch after almost a full week. I did a large amount of walking on Sat/Sun/Mon which probably helped to accelerate the process.

Really pleased with how comfortable they've become in such a short amount of time.

MorP how do the thighs behave in your 30?
