      All done with that… I figure it would be less invasive than a vasectomy.

        Yeah, but the vasectomy only hurts for a few days.

          😠 😉  But seriously… the difference between the 21oz and the 25 oz is that great? My 555-01 were not a problem to break in despite being... snug, but the 21oz is famously supple. Is the 25oz that much (ahem) stiffer?

              Really? That sounds like fun. So the 666's must also be challenging in 25oz? (Off to check measurements of the 666's….).

                666-XHS is quite challenging for the first couple of weeks… After a couple of months, though, they feel like denim pyjamas... In the very best kinda way...

                  Sounds boss. What's the stretch like, same as the 21oz?

                    Has anyone found the high rise on these intolerable? I was thinking about these as my first venture into 25oz territory. I love the blue stitching on the arcs, and the "W", but maybe 666-XHS is a better fit for me.

                      The rise is only about 2" more than the 666s. For me this is my most favorite Iron Heart cut so far. @JerUrsidae

                        @neph93 most sanforized IH denim will stretch 1.5 inches or so in the waist. I sized down a size for the perfect fit.

                          I have the 666UHR in a 30 and they fit well after recommended soak. Any thoughts on whether I should go for these in a 30 or 31. I don't like baggy but still want to be able to walk. I'll be wearing a belt.

                            If the 666s fit you well in size 30, the Beatle busters will, too. Don't size up, and you do know the initial discomfort when new is all part of the process (and the fun).

                            Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                              @danielholmes I'd definitely go for the 30. Don't size up…
                              The BB is more generous cut than the 666, and the denim will stretch quite a bit.

                              I sized down to get a perfect fit. But I asked the 'stubborn crew' to find me a pair with a waist size that was slightly larger than spec.

                                Giving up your old favorites for a pair of something new isn't always a bad thing. Because you'll get to enjoy your old favorites again while you wait for your new favorites to get clean. Before I had my new favories I would go through '25 oz. withdrawal' for at least a day, while they would dry.

                                  Just had the my first crotch repair performed by SESF…nice to have them back on my legs.

                                  Love this fade… The white blems are burns from welding...one of the reasons I love the 25 oz for work

                                  madmonday's retired….I'm just tired.

                                      Love the arcs. Love the fit and fade pics. My waist measures 35 in multiple pairs of jeans I currently wear. Only size 34 is left available in the shop. Is it worth the chance?

                                            Size 34 would have a 33" waist, right? Which would need to stretch two inches to fit? I'm not saying it would be a pleasant experience, but @giles, this is possible, right? I seem to remember you saying that you had gotten that amount of stretch out of the 25oz denim. Or has someone laced my beer with crack again?
