IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[nizzel55]

That is one beautiful pair of Devils you got there @JerUrsidae
Well done!

[Giles]

Pretty decent restock….

Proud owner here.  Unfortunately they're now on the small side for me since I started going to the gym.. thighs are giving me a bit of the "stuffed sausage" look.  Love them so much I'll probably get them again a size or two larger.  Just need to sell the current pair first..

Right decision @shigg, I experienced the same but I don't want to miss the 18 oz denim in my collection anymore.

About to add these to my IH collection. Can't wait to get started with them!

Where does the Devil's Fit / 666 get its name from? I don't know if it's already been asked / answered.

666- The Number of the Beast

Maybe there is some other reason but that's what i always presumed

@spitfiredealer:

666- The Number of the Beast

Exactly.

Exactly.

So it's a beast of one slim fitting jeans? Damn right ;).

[Dion]

Is the 666S really selling that quickly? I remember you had four W36 after the restock, now you have zero in stock… amazing.

[Giles]

Yep…..

Perhaps not the best of pictures. Light was not optimal.
They were taken yesterday.
The jeans got 400 days of wear. I am very happy with them. They got quite alot of life left in them.

Those look amazing!

Regular poster over at SuFu, but been lurking here a little bit and doing a little research and I think I've decided that the 666s will be my next jean once my Ande Whall Caribous get a little further in age. The two cuts are very similar. Sounds kinda crazy to be thinking of getting some heavy denim with Summer around the corner in California, but I work in produce at a Whole Foods and we're in a near freezing cooler a lot.

I wear a 30 in the Andes, but the waist measured 31 initially and has stretched to 31.5, so I think a 31 in the 666 would be the size that would most replicate the way they fit, but with a better fitting top block since the 666 has a bit less rise in the front. That is definitely welcome since my Andes seem to have a little too much with how they sit on my hips.

What is the end weight of the 18oz after wash?

[Giles]

About 18.5oz

[Herman]

Thanks Giles, wasn't sure if they would still qualify for Middleweight class  in the DWC.

@Lag Here's my 31" measurements after a couple of soaks , one wash. Plenty of wear

Waist 16"
Hip 19.5"
Front Rise 10"
Back Rise 15.5"
Thigh 11"
Knee 8"
Hem 7.75"

[Lag]

cool, thanks. i'll have to double check the thigh measurement of my current jeans with the IH way of measuring. my true waist size is around 30.5, but i don't want a super slim fit with the 30s and the suffering that comes with it. it's a shame there's such a huge step up in waist size between the 30 and 31. my current jeans being 31.5 are already pushing it when it comes to looseness. not a terrible thing as long as the rest of the jeans fit well, since i always wear a belt anyway.

My best fitting jeans are a 32 to 33ish waist (depending on when I washed them) and about a 11.75 thigh.

I'm torn whether to order a size 32 or 33.

As I figure the tag size 32 will stretch out to 33 inches in the waist with wear.  Will the thighs stretch back out to pre-soak measurements of 11.9?

Does the 666 stretch back out to pre soak measurements with wear?  If it does it will fit great for me.

I think if I go with 33 it will stretch out too far with wear.

Anyone have any advice?
