Regarding the tops/shirts, this is one of the great things about IH for me, in that there is a good spread of sizes around the L/XL/XXL/XXL range with not too much of a gap in physical size between them. That and the good sizing charts (measurements) mean getting or choosing the fit you want is better than with a lot of other brands for me.
^Agreed. It's great to be able to fit things well with IH level of detail and sizing in shirts. And that's exactly what I would love to have with jeans. Half an inch in the shoulder or chest, an inch in length, all make all the difference. And so does half an inch in the thigh or an inch in the waist.
For me, the 12.3 thigh on the tagged 34 666-XHS is prohibitively small, while 13.0 on the 36 is risking too much room and a fit I'm unhappy with. The measurements for the 35 are perfect. So that jump does mean we bigger guys get less opportunity for fine-tuning the fit that those going from 28-34….
To be clear, not a gripe at IH, but a point about industry standards.

I stuck between buying IH 666 SII and 301S. i really like the fades in 666 SII but the 301S fit seems to be very slim and grabs my attention.
Will the 301S fade as well as 666 SII? what's the color difference in the fades.
Please suggest

I own the 301S but not the 666SII. The 301S is IH standard 21oz denim, so you can see pictures of the fading of this denim on any of the threads for jeans that use that denim. It fades slowly, but beautifully. You get big, thick fades on the combs, stacks and whiskers, but it takes time. Also that denim is wonderfully soft and breathable despite its weight.
Have you tried on the 301S? Its a nice fit although some find the looser top block not to their taste. The 666 is much more fitted in the top block. But if you are looking for slim with a taper and a fitted top block, I can also recommend the 555 fit. My personal fave.

@davito How is the size of the opening on the ring? I'm using a Corter Leather key hook, which I love, but the opening is thin to the point where I can't get the belt loop of my 25 oz. IH's to go through the opening (first world problems).

@BloodnThunder no idea re sizing sorry man. On my 21oz and loombreakers no prob. Think the Buddy will wear nicely on the 25oz but don't own a pair. Best asking @Giles i also believe the owner of goodarthlywd wears some 25ers
