IH-666SII - 18oz Indigo/Indigo Slim Cut Jean

[grundletaint]

This thread seems to generate more activity than the 634 thread.

Anybody else have comically blue smurf legs after wearing the double indigo?  I've already ruined a bath towel and yesterday I thought I was having a medical emergency.

Idle curiosity, and kick me in the balls if it's been answered before, but what's the post soak weight on these?

18 and a bit…..

Thanks Giles

I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow, but this is my first time around with the 666 cut, and I love it.  The double indigo is really unique.  These are great jeans!

Nice fit JDL

JDL with a killer trifecta of the SI, 666D and 129!  Nicely done!

Thanks, I'm really happy with everything.

How's the shrinkage with a post-soak wash?  Much more movement or does the hot soak pretty much cover it?

[Giles]

Hot soak pretty much covers it if you give it enough agitation…..

Had a chance to see these in the flesh at SESF whilst dropping off a few pairs off  for repairs….(can't wait to get my 666 superblack back for work)...... glad they didn't have my size in the 666Sll....these are spectacular!

Crikey! My hemmed 634 was 36" post-hot soak.  Had to cold wash due to some work nastiness and inseam is 35 now.

@grundletaint -  a warm iron can help add some length back to the fabric.

Thanks for the tip.  I'm pretty good with it.  Before a single cuff was too big and a double cuff looked like a pinroll.  The new length may save me from another hem because I'm trying out a bit of stacking now.

@grundletaint - solid.

@Alex has popped around for lunch, he's wearing his pretty averagely faded 66SII's 

His secret?  No shits given…..
