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

Apologies for the obnoxious question - I couldn't figure out how to search within the thread - can anyone compare the sizing on these (particularly the waist) to the sizing on Samurai 710s (19 oz, lot 13 if it makes a difference). I was hoping to gauge people's experiences in addition to comparing the measurements on the web site.
I'm also open to comparisons to the raws in any of the following. I'm well aware that I have too many pairs.
SExSC06
SExDBxSxS12
APC NS/PNS
Nudie Regular Alf
Blue Owl x Triple Works tapered fit
Dior 19cm MiJ
N&F Weird Guy
W+H straight fit
Sugar Cane 1966 one-washMy take is that APCs and Nudies are vanity-sized by two; Dior 19cm, N&F WG, and W+H are all vanity sized by one (although the waist is a little loose in all cases); and the rest are basically TTS (although the waist is loose on the SExDBs).
Thanks in advance.

Keep wearing them. That is probably the best fit I've seen thus far…
Reaction so far:
Epoc: first few days; Person: Partner; Comment: They look ridiculous (or words to that effect!
Epoc: 13 days (about 7 full days of wear); Person: Partner; Comment: They make you look fantastic; they look better than Levi's (LVC)!
Epoc: 11 to 13 days (about 5 - 7 days of wear); Person: Co-workers in the office; Comment: No comments made (good sign).All in all, I think I'm winning the war…..

[/quote]I've never worn any of your comparison jeans. I started to break in a pair of 666 XHSs in W32 2 weeks ago tomorrow. They were very tight indeed at first (the thigh and hip in particular) but have stretched a bit. After 1 week I sprayed them with a bit of water while wearing them and wore them until they dried, but haven't soaked them. My Size W34 stretched a bit too much for my liking after 2 weeks solid wear. After 2 weeks I thoroughly wetted them (but did not soak) them. Their fit is OK but rather loose round the waist and the fly is a bit too high. The thighs are quite a close fit. I also have 634 XHSs in W32 and they are a nice good tight fit but not tight in the thigh or hip. My size W31 1955UHRs, not yet much worn, have more room in the thigh and hip.
I don't know if that helps at all?

15 day pics of my 666XHS W32 (not worn constantly), and apologies for the rest of the lazy Sunday afternoon outfit!

Hey guys, I should be receiving my pair sometime in the middle of this week! I just had a quick question, I know this jean is sanforized, but was wondering i should give it a soak to get any shrinkage out from the waist and inseam..?

Thanks, that helps quite a bit. Are the front pockets on the 666s difficult to use? That's usually my sticking point when it comes to jeans that are particularly slim through the hips.

Yes Notwithit, it is difficult to put things in and take them out, but they are reinforced!
-
My W32 666XHSs have softened up nicely. The rise at the back is quite low in my size (or it may be my big arse), but I find it more comfortable and have greater manoeuvrability if I let the waistband sit on my hips without a belt.
-
Any more news on the 37" inseam 666xhs restock?
-
Ok, I'll keep me eyes peeled matey
-
Hot pics, Seul!
