IH-666S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Slim Cut (The Devil's Fit)

[jrod]

Got my hands on this pair of jeans last week and while doing a routine inspection of the crotch area, I noticed this.

Is it normal for the stitching to appear like that or should I start reinforcing the stitching. Hope someone could shed some light on this!

[Chris]

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.

Cam (10) has been wearing these 666S-19L for 18 months, but is now quite literally bursting out of them now!

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!

[Black Orchid]

What great photos @Simon fantastic Evo on the jeans as well as Cam!

An old pair I purchased probably 7 years ago, if not more. There was a mixup/miscommunication with the sizing, way to small for me. This is the pair I lent to Megatron for review http://denim-hq.com/2014/07/09/denim-hq-review-ooe-yofukuten-4301xx/

Ahh, feeling less worried about exploding my jeans now! Will update when I've some fades on em. My folks thought I ordered some jeans made out of sandbags

After a month of daily use

No prizes for guessing where I'm at!

[nietenhosen]

got new pants!!

[Fadez]

Great fit

[Max Power]

Yes indeed

[nietenhosen]

thanks guys.
this pair fits me very well (as usual the IH 666 cut does).
denim is awesome, left hand twill, crisp and stiff, inconvenient at the moment…best for getting a great pair of jeans at the end.
totally forgot how good it feels wearing a jeans made from heavy-weight denim!
great stuff.
thanks
