IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

It doesn't look like the thigh measurements change much (if at all) from the 29w to the 30w. If you can pull off the 30" waist, I would go with the 29, the only real difference seems to be a shorter front rise, more tapered leg from the knee down, and the smaller waist. If you're totally sure that 30" is your true size, I'd try for the 29w size. Im a size 30w in all my IH jeans and got 30 in the XHS, (mine were slightly used) but I still have a hard time with the top two buttons. The insane part of me wishes I'd really challenged myself to buy a smaller size for the more tapered fit, but I like being able to breathe in my jeans.

I wouldn't size down….my 1st pair died early from being tight, and I beat the shit out of them. It's the leg, it's the leg on this cut.....at least 2 inches if not more of stretch in the waist on my pair / with a lot of force, a jack. The pair working its way to me now will be my 2nd pair and sized up from a 30 to a 32... I'll be able to soak when they bag! It's really hard to get into the 30's after they hit water. I'm sure I'll like the extra B---room in the 32

^ damn. What a great pair! Nice to see verification of what I keep telling ppl about stretch in the waist.

Nice! The indigo has really aged well and they look like they've been worn hard. Good work.
So torn between picking up a pair of these when they're restocked or getting the 1955s. I already know the fit on these is great as I've got the 666SB, but having seen some of the fades these jeans produce…still a nice dilemma to be in!
