IH-666SB - Superblack Devil's Fit

[Mr Plow]

Measured the IH way, they are 34". Does the SB stretch as much as the OD?

[Giles]

Tag size 33 will end up at 35 after a month or so, so an inch larger than your SOD's….

[Mr Plow]

Thanks Giles!

Has anybody that normally wears a 36 waist tried these? Did you size up to 38? I wear a 36 in 666xhs, a 34 or 36 in 634xhs, and a 38 in the 666d. I'm tempted to try these in a 38, but the 38.8in waist is huge. The 36 isn't really an option because of the 12.7in thigh. Did anybody else (more or less of my size) take the plunge? There seems to only be pics of you ultra skinny types.

[DrBabyhorse]

I guess I'll take one for the (large) team and try them out.

[DrBabyhorse]

As promised.

I am 6'3'' and about 225 lbs. They are stiff and still pretty boxy around my shins, but I anticipate that will go away as they break in. The waist is a little big, but it's not an issue. So, any big guys that were thinking about getting these, I would say jump on it (size up)… well, when they are restocked, because I got the last 38.

[Dion]

Is the 666SBG going to replace these?

[Giles]

Not necessarily….

[Dion]

The 666SB will fade less and keep its black colour longer than the SBG?

[Giles]

The SB won't fade, you can wash a white T-shirt with them with impunity….

[Dion]

Wow, this sounds beyond awesome. Can we expect a restock this year??

[Giles]

Probably, I'll ask the retailers today for numbers…..

[Dion]

@DrBabyhorse They're looking excellent on you. You're a lucky one to have bought the last W38 ;D, can you please post the measurements of your pair and did they stretch much with wear?? That'd be awesome, thank you!

Can't wait to see how these will fair with hard duty and weekly washing

[DrBabyhorse]

I've washed them once and they haven't changed. Since the waist is big on me they don't have much stress, and therefore haven't stretched. I'm not really convinced they won't fade, but I guess we'll see.

^ I have two pairs of the IH superblack straight. They won’t fade. The sheen slightly changes in spots of heavy wear which almost looks like a shadow of a fade around the edges at times, but no actual fade. On the other hand this means that you will always spot any dust, dirt, dog hair, leftover laundry detergent, etc instantly and forever until it's all washed out. This fabric is unique, different, super high-quality, and super cool, but they haven't taken priority over my other IH blue jeans as I initially thought for the above reasons.

I'm watching this space @Haddtoo 555

Great fit as well.

[Haddtoo 555]

@madmonday check back weekly….can't wait to see what happens...I'm really happy with the fit...and most shirts will play nicely together.

[Dion]

G, how big is the chance for having a black patch on the next run? (The white patch looks pretty dope on the 666S-WH).

[Giles]

The white patch is denim, not leather.  I think on the black, I'd rather stay with leather…
