IH-666SB - Superblack Devil's Fit

[Haddtoo 555]

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.

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…

[Dion]

Oh, I thought it was a white leather patch and thought these might have a black coloured leather one as well…

[Giles]

I have to make a minimum of 300 patches at a time when I do leather….....So I'll prob stick with what we have.

I could ship with Sharpie

[Dion]

Form completed, hope to enjoy them this winter…

Just saw the 9666Z on the Jap. IH-site, what is the main difference between them and the 666SB besides the zip-fly?

[Giles]

A black patch and…..

No...

• Reinforcing tape on inside of front pocket openings
• Belt loops sewn into waist band
• Red overlock stitching on side seams and other raw seam edges

[Dion]

Ah, thanks. Will IHUK offer them?

[Giles]

Only if specifically requested.  I prefer ours 

[Haddtoo 555]

Maybe they will not fade…but they are showing signs of wear...hand washed weekly

[Haddtoo 555]

I still am very curious to see pics and a description of how you get so much stretch out of these, Haddtoo. Seems impossible, yet there it is.

Decision made.  As we are releasing an SBG version of the 666, the SB version will not be re-run.  I have placed them on the endangered list…
