      hello, I just bought a size 30w 666s from someone who had 2 cold washes. I am a 31w and would like to stretch these.. unfortunately I cannot get it buttoned after the first ones and was wondering if soaking them in cold water for 2+ hours then wearing them until they stretch will get them to a 31w? everything fits right until the top portion where I cannot get the 2nd button on.. I figured soaking them long enough will get them to stretch. Thank you in advance. Btw these are my first pair

          Even when I can't fully button them up? I only have the first button on..

            If you can get them all buttoned but the top two, just wear them around the house when you can and they will stretch. If you can only button one button they are probably too small for you and wearing wet won't really fix that.

              I've read somewhere that someone else soaked them for about 2 hours in cold water and they stretched 2 sizes.. I just want assurance that's all.. I'll put in the work breaking them in. They feel really nice already I just need my butt to get in haha . I got in unhemmed for $140.. Not a bad deal if you ask me

                  Water will not stretch the fabric. Only wear will do that. Sounds like they might be too small.

                      I'm gonna give them a month of work.. I was able to the the 2nd button on.. soaked them and put a hanger in between while they dry and i'll be wearing these throughout the day while i'm at work. I'm assuming the previous owner had a smaller waist than me. I had kinda of a butt (athletic build), if I were to buy these again should I get a 31w or 32w? I'm normally a 31w.. Also was looking into the 301s since I hear they have more room at the top. should I get true sizing to for those as well? thank you in advance

                        Get your best fitting pair of jeans and measure them this way.  Then look at the sizing tables and buy the size that most closely matches.

                            I bought a pair of these (wearing them now) four years ago .. since then I have purchased like 15 other jeans .. these are STILL my favorite, in terms of fit, quality, comfort, style, fade (slow- but really worth it !) these are the best darn jeans ever. 666s forever! I may try the UHR's next to have a new experience but if I heard the standard 18oz 666s were to become endangered… i'd buy every pair in my size left.  ps.. it took 6 months .. but i got 2 inches of stretch in the waist.

                                  Love these things, worn on and off for a year, one wash, two soaks.

                                      my first step in the IH game and i'm stoked by the fabric, the texture and the feeling this one gives. very comfortable after a few wears… here some crappy mobile pictures. i'm pretty happy with the fit!

                                          thx @madmonday - just wear these for about 2 months now and already spotting on the next one haha! thought from the measurment maybe some BB could fit nice, because if i loook at the measurements they seem like some where in the midle from the 666 and the 634 cut. sometime i'd like to have a bit more space in the thighs but i think i'll wear these babys for a year or so to see how they will evolve before i get me another project…

                                            Hello!

                                            Just adding my .02 on the fit of these, hopefully will help someone.

                                            • I am a true 31 waist (15.5).
                                            • Most of my IHs are a 32, as I prefer a slightly looser top block/waist.
                                            • Most of my IHs that are 32, are a bit looser in the legs than I prefer.

                                            I purchased these in a 30 and found the fit to be damn near perfect.

                                            • Through the legs, the fit is spot on for me. Well tapered yet can still easily fit over various boots, shoes, etc.
                                            • The top block is roomy enough to allow for comfortable movement. No issues through the hips or crotchal region.
                                            • The waist is roomy enough that I can fit my hand down the front easily (not for any particular reason, fyi). But fitted enough not to require a belt.

                                            Comparing to the 666XHS and 666UHR - the 666S in size 30 is probably the best off the rack fit I could have wished for without the pain tax to get them there. Likely going to trade some long-term comfort for short term fit (i.e. denim from XHS/UHR may ultimately be more comfortable over time) but if you want a perfect fit with little effort, consider the 666s.

                                            Really well designed denim! Hope this helps.

                                            Take care,

                                            KS
