IH-666D - 17oz Duck Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Brown
-
Would appreciate it if a few folks could tell me how much stretch they've achieved in the waist on these. Thanks

Does anyone have any drying advice please? I got toothpaste on them, and washed them but the stain didn't move. Tried scrubbing just the stain and it was still there, so ended up washing them a second time (40 degrees instead of 40, and for about an hour rather than 30mins).
But drying inside takes literally days for these (and it's too cold/wet to dry outside). I take it the tumble dryer is a no-no, but what about on a radiator maybe? Any other ideas greatly appreciated!

@gratefulmelon, my 34w now measure 35w and thats after being dyed black and washed to remove excess dye.

So people have debated the amount of stretch these have, with Giles saying not to expect much while Seul and others say that they've gotten stretch comparable to denim. Both camps are correct, but mostly Giles. One thing to keep in mind is that the 666 cut has a very slim top block, so the fit isn't really being governed by the waistband. While the waist may stretch an inch, the top block isn't going to be nearly as pliable. My pair isn't uncomfortable, but I'm certainly more aware of them than my regular 666S.

To add the conversation… Mine stretched the same as any pair of denim jeans I have. In fact I just washed them at 90c to try and tighten them back up.

Hey G,
Any news on a size 28 restock? I killed another pair.

Darn. Will check out the DDs. Thanks!

I've always been interested to know why you don't use a utility belt instead of stuffing all those tools in your back pockets.

I'm not batman.

Good answer! Thanks for the evo, will look forward to seeing this in the DD's…

Got my pair of 666Ds in the post this week so thought I'd post up a few fit pics. I'd had my eyes on a pair of these for a while, just as an alternative to indigo or super black, which I've been wearing pretty much exclusively up to now. The new photos on the shop give a better indication of the colour, but they're still a deeper brown than I had been expecting, but I love the colour.
I was struggling over whether to go for the 29s or 30s given the size warning, and that I'm a 29 waist. But Giles sorted me out, recommending the 29s. The measurements are very similar to the IHxRH-666s that I've been wearing pretty solidly the past year, although a slightly higher rise, which allows me to get away with the slightly tighter waist, even with a belt.
Anywhere, here are the pics.
