IH-666S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Slim Cut (The Devil's Fit)
-
Went for a bicycle ride today in these, to further break them in (they are still somewhat stiff). Vorsicht: What I felt as hotspots on the outsides of my knees were actually the skin being removed. This is some very cool but also very abrasive denim!
For the people who deign to buy these tight, I can't imagine (don't want to imagine) what it does to their "gear".

Haha yeah, the denim is HARDCORE. My calfs are feckin blue

The inseam on these appear to be smaller then most IH releases, however at 34" listed, they appear to be longer as evidenced by some of these fit pics. I like to have 35" inseam length. Any thoughts? Thanks!
-
The published measurements are what we measured. Some may come in a little longer, some shorter. When/if you order ,ask us for the longest pair or drop us an email asking us what the longest pair measures…
Thanks Giles. Your little "stab at a forum" certainly has created another IH fanatic:)

It's true, but in the mid term this denim shows all his "leftynees" becoming warm and easy to wear (and beautiful to be seen). In my h opinion this is maybe the best heavy denim out there…
-
George I think I agtee with you. I own a Lefty Trucker and the denim has such character and is so stubborn that it tempts me to a pair of 666.
Problem is i am also a big OD fan so am looking forward to the 666od…. -
Completely normal. I just checked six pairs of jeans from five manufacturers and all of them look like that.
-
Very normal since these were washed once they were Sewn up - the threads are designed to accommodate the shrinking denim, so don't worry about it - the bar tack will handle the stress.

Great pics Simon. Cam has done a heck of a job beating his pair into submission. What is his next denim project?

Thanks, kids really know how to beat up a pair of jeans!
Cams' Jeans for the next year or so will be Ooe Yofukuten 4301XX, which should turn out nice, the 43 is a great denim. I will post some photos next week.
Very cool. I would love to own a pair of Ooe Yofokuten someday, but I need to do my research first. I look forward to your pics.

The 43 is one of their best denims. Is it an old stock or where did you end up finding them?

Brilliant photos @Simon - Love the Dr. Martens with the 666!
