    No, it was me being a stuck record…..

    I say this a lot...

    "What do you jeans currently measure in the waist, measured the way we measure?"

    The tag 29 measure 29.5. they will stretch a little.  So they start larger and will end up even larger than your UHR's...

        copped… like the idea of trying something different and limited!

          So I went for 666-LB W30 (as I did for 666sod and 666s-19L). According to measures, they seem wider of the other 666, but dukcs are ducks, and I don't want they end up breaking even my balls…
          634-LB W29 seem too big for me. I'll wait for 634-DD.

            @zatenm:

            Seriously contemplating these although I don't really need another pair…

            Sizing question if I may, G:
            I wear a 30 in the 666UHR (shrank to the max originally) and the fit is now 'fitted but comfy'- not too tight in the top block but not dropping in the back/butt or sides either. I could do a slightly tighter fit (better slightly tighter than slightly larger vs my UHR I reckon),  would you say I can pull off a 29 in these? (I'm middle of the road regarding tolerance to gonads squeeze)
            Thank you!

            In 666 thigh is important. And all my ducks did a great passive resistance to the stretching.

              Gerogeel speaks the truth, my 666D never stretched at all in the waist.

                Wednesday I will see how they fit. I know my measurements, they will be a bit snug on my wait and maybe my thighs… Can't wait to find out.

                These will be a great summer jean, these and my 3sixteens.

                  Appreciate the tip @georgeel [emoji4] I hear you about the thigh, I think I can pull it off but the waist is larger than my UHR and that is already on the edge for me.
                  I'm getting this denim albeit in the 816 form & non-selvage - they might very well become my daily beaters, I'm a huge fan of the 816 cut [emoji5]️

                    That'd be awesome. Is the general consensus that these will be a good bit cooler than the standard 21oz? I had some IH-817 that weren't exactly cool, so I guess we'll find out.

                      I would disagree that these would be good for the summer. I find my 666D to be pretty warm, the duck does not breathe like the 21oz denim. That's just my experience tho.

                        Yea, we will see. 16.5 oz but tighter weave. Another month the weather will warm up more.

                          My 666D were quite snug in the beginning and they've stretched at least 3/4", possibly more like a full inch. I imagine they wouldn't have stretched as much if they hadn't been so small to begin with. I second them not being that breathable though.

                            I wore my 2634 (paraffin coated 22oz ducks!) in high summer and they were breathing a lot. I suppose …

                              I don't know what H made to 817's denim. The result is that they seem bulletproof. However, having the patience to wear them, I assure you that in time, they become soft and fresh enough. Sort of…

                              Considering the evolution of these LB ducks, I think they are more & more willing to release their indigo then 817. And, after a few months, more soft and fresh as they fade. This is what I hope.

                                Breaking them in. They actually fit spot on in the waist. I thought I was more of a 37-37.5" but 36.5" is NICE! Thighs aren't tight on me, just restrict a little movement, depending on movement ha.

                                  Just a fit question. In have the 555-01 In tag size 36. The 555 needed a bit of stretching, but they fit me very nicely now. I see both pairs share a 36.5 waist Mx.

                                  Will these work for me?

                                  Any insight would be appreciated.

                                  Cheers! 

                                    I looked real quick at measurements, if the 555 these are so close in sizing in 36…wasit, thigh, rise.
