IH-666SII - 18oz Indigo/Indigo Slim Cut Jean
-
Just in case you guys want to see this denim compared to the other IH denims have a look at this thread, page 2:

Just got a pair of the 666-II in a size 32, but they unfortunately didn't shrink much at all after a hot soak (aside from the 1" waist and length. legs are just a little bit too loose on me). Look like I need to go down to a size 31, so if anyone is interested in taking these off my hands, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you're on the fence, I think you should really grab these. been wearing mine for a couple of days and they are awesome. I have 666S and compared to them these were much stiffer post-soak. During soak, I lost about 1,5 inches in inseam and about 1 inch in the waist. But after a few wears they got softer - a lot. Also waist stretched back pre-soak measurement pretty fast. The texture in these feels little bit rougher than in 666S, but in my opinion they will get smoother after they see some wear.
I also like the little bit shorter rear rise compared to 666S. And can't still believe how dark these are..In overall: great jeans. Get a pair while you can.

How much shrink on the thigh do these get?

Im on the market for a new pair, and debating between these, and the SEXIH22-301S . Which would you all pick ? I want semi slim, but don't want tight tight. I ride a bike and motorcycle, wear boots most often, but don't like my boots draped over by the cuff. Also which will get better fades?

How you want your denim to fade is very individual, and this indigo/indigo is new so you don't know how it will fade. I have this denim in the 634 version, and i really like it. What i can surely tell you is that this denim fades really fast and is beautifully dark and smooth. Very little leg twist (some people like leg twist, some dont). Since this denim is very "clean/flat", and the weft is also indigo it will look dirty quicker than normal denim with white weft, so if you plan to wash rarely or never to obtain hard contrast fading, and dont like the trucker look, this is not the denim to choose. Dont know the SEXIH22-301s, but it also looks interesting with the grey weft. Enjoy

I have the SEXIH22-301S in 33 and the SEXIH22-633S in 32 and at one time had 666S & 301S in 31
I am a 32 waist, but since the 22's are unsanfornized I sized up on the slimmer fit. I have to say hands down the 22-301S is my favorite fit, a little looser than the regular 301's and the rise isn't as high. I would def go w/ the 22-301S and size up one. For me the thigh is a little too tight and the leg opening a little too big w/ 666S, especially if you wear your jeans tucked into your boots…....
..............the 22-633S are a mess :-\ , i hate the fit...... -
I am usually a size 34 in the 666 cuts but it looks like people are sizing down on these. Also, looks like the waist stretches back pretty fast. Any advice? How much shrinking do people get post-soak in the thigh area? I need at least 12'' in the thigh in order to make a size 33 work. Thanks!

I dont have these but my guess is that u will only lose .2"- .3" at the most in the thigh

Shocking as it is I only actually own 1 pair of Iron Heart jeans (Ihave wabash pants, shirts, boots, jacket, tee's etc..). I am pretty sure that these will be my next pair of jeans.
