      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?

        Yes, the website does:

        NOTE: will shrink approx 1" in the waist and approx 2" in the inseam. BUT with wear will stretch back out to pre soak size in the waist

        But note only those areas under any stress will stretch, so the inseam and the cuff won't

          I will go with a tag size 32, shrink it down a bit with presoak and stretch it out to a 32.5 with wear hopefully.

          Does this denim have a lot of stretch to it?

          Thanks Giles

            "A lot" is a bit subjective.

            It stretches back to pre-soak size easily, though you can get more if you try hard/put on weight slowly…

              Glad to hear it stretches out easily.  Appreciate the feedback.

                My experience:  Happiest results when I bought big. That goes for every IH "bottom" I own.

                  I've got the 666S and Beatle Buster (both in a Tag Size 34) and I can tell you that the Beatle Buster is definately tighter in the waist and thigh… It's the first time I've ever had to lie down to button up a pair of jeans!

                  @Hemi    Hahaha!!! I do this all the time with new pairs!!! So how did it go … ?

                    @rohitsingh They stretched a little bit but both styles are tight on me… I prefer the 634.
