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

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

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…

Newbe question, but what's the difference between SB and SBG ?

I was eyeing the 666 SB, but after just spending more then 500 bucks on the damn car that project is on hold at the moment.

SB will never fade, warp and weft are both black. SBG has a gray weft, and will fade to gray.

@sabergirl Almost right.

Superblack has black reactive dyed warp and weft.  Thus will not fade
SBG has black reactive dyed weft and black sulphur dyed warp (which will fade)…

[sabergirl]

Aha. Good to know. Thanks, G.

It's been a while…time for an update on my SB work pants

They still look black just not superblack

I decided to give mine the hot wash treatment (30 minutes at 90 Celsius) after having pretty great results with my ihsh-85. They shrank an inch in the waist and two inches in the inseam. Here are some after shots.

But there was a casualty…

I'm pleased with the shrinkage and I think these are going to get worn a lot more now.
