        Here are some progression pics. Worn everyday for about 40 days so far. Lighting is a bit excessive but just imagine them a little bit darker.




        Love these jeans like they were family.

            here are some fit pics after one full day of wear.
            i feel like these look pretty goofy from the knee down.. am I wrong?
            i guess I'm just more used to a narrower leg opening.
            not sure why the pictures are sideway… I'm an idiot

              Looks like they just need to be hemmed really. That would make the leg look slimmer.

                Does anybody ever taper these from the knee down? Or is that a dumb question?

                  Yeah you need to hem them a bit, and then just wear them enough so that the denim softens up and they fall more naturally around your ankles.

                    Yep, you need about 3 inches off those IMO

                        Thanks guys! Maybe I'll wear them with a cuff for a while before I decide to chop them. It makes me nervous talking about hamming a $400 pair of pants [emoji51]

                          Hi, Brock.

                          Just to echo the wisdom already laid down here, these do need hemming. It's a standard job to do on premium denim that only comes in one length. It's also a relatively simple job for a decent tailor/seamstress. Nothing to worry about.  The denim will also settle and soften and that will calm the indigo sea a bit. I would also consider a warm soak to eliminate shrinkage. Do this before hemming.

                          If you really feel the leg opening is too wide for you then tapering is a drastic step and a harder job. I believe that if you choose this, you should find a denim specialist for it. There's been a number of discussions on this forum about it, so recommendations should be easy to find.

                          That being said, heavily tailoring cuts is also something that's a bit controversial. Personally, I think that while hemming $400 jeans is normal, tapering them is too radical and drastic. Haraki-san and Giles work like artists on the designs and the result is their vision. Modifying the cut just means this is the wrong cut for you, and you're fucking with what was intended. Obviously they are your jeans and it's entirely up to you what you do with them. If it was me and I wasn't happy with the cut, I'd put them up for sale and re-invest the proceeds in the cut I wanted, before tapering what is intended to be a slim-straight cut.

                            Wow Neph, well stated!
                            Thanks everybody for the info and the advice! I'm definitely not unhappy with the fit by any means! I'm just not used to a straight leg cut, YET. I've already fallen in love with this denim after only two days and there is no way I can part with it so selling is out of the question [emoji51] I'm going to wear them and be happy with them! Most likely hem them after the fabric softens up a bit.

                            I hope I didn't offend Giles or Hiraki-San or anyone else for that matter by complaining about my fit. Don't get me wrong I love these pants and they will be my constant companion from here on out!  Atleast until December 1st when those 666SII show up for the world tour.

                            Cheers y'all

                              Legs (down the knee) kinda fell into place after about seven months of wear for me.

                                Don't worry about that, dude.  What I wrote was my two cents. Like how I see things.  I know of long time forum members who taper 666 cuts. When I said "controversial" I mean it's been discussed and people don't agree on it. At the end of the day it's totally up to you.

                                Glad you love the denim. I do too. Be cool to compare evo after a while.

                                  I'm very partial to a single cuff and the massive stacks that occur unhemmed. 🙂 but it is all a matter of preference. I've tried hemming, double cuffs, and now this single cuff with big stacks. There's no sun today, but the fades that are happening on the stacks are going to be epic.

                                        That cuff is rad filthy! Not sure I'd be able to rock such a big one but I do like the look. If I were to cuff them should I wait a while? I think I remember someone talking back in this thread about premature cracking if you cuff to early??

                                          @Brock  Nah, cuff them and were the f-heck out of them! If they drag on the ground a lot they certainly will wear out there. I soaked the cuffs on my pair to try and shrink them smaller. And… it doesn't work. I've worn my pair EVERYDAY cuffed since July 1st, and they aren't blowing out, cracking, crocking, tearing… you name it. No soaks or washes necessary.

                                          @sabergirl has my first pair (that I soaked the crap out of) and they still are gonna wear out on the bottoms of the cuffs. You'll notice threads wearing out on the inseam of the cuff even before the cuff would wear through on the bottom. Unless you walk on the backs of them or they drag on the ground.
