IH-666S-BK - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Superblack (SBG)

@Giles  thank you! 

[Peter]

What kind of shrinkage can one expect from these (inseam)? .5-1"?

[Giles]

<0.5

[Peter]

Thanks Giles. Is 1.5" stretch in the waist possible with these? Just measured my current pair (31.5") and they're way too big (probably 1.5"). Wouldn't want a size 30 to end up where these are now.

[Giles]

I guess possible yes…...

[Peter]

And the size 29 is probably too small.. Damnit haha. Thinking 30 might be good anyway.

Ahh what the hell, pulled the trigger. I don't own any black denim and like the contrast stitching.

[Peter]

How stubborn are these, fade wise?

[Rawdad]

Received them today, and I am glad I pulled the trigger! A bit snug on the thighs, but from the feel of the denim, they can certainly stretch a bit. Really like the contrast stitching.

21oz will stretch, no doubt. Congratulations.

I have the SBG BB's. Same denim. They have a special, rather nice way of fading. I find them stubborn, buy then again I think all SBG/ sulphur dyed denim is, especially compared to regular indigo denim. The contrast between blue and white is is always going to be stronger than black and grey. Here's my back (wallet) pocket after 60 days of wear.

[Peter]

Thanks @neph93! Yeah I assumed that they would hold on to their colours, more so than regular denim. Doesn't matter to me, just thought I'd check!

[Rawdad]

Just an update. I cold soaked them as I always do with any new pair. Lost a little bit in length, which is perfect. As for the thigh, they have stretched to a point that is very comfortable. They have become my new fav pair.

[Peter]

Received my pair yesterday, and I've worn them for most of the day today. They also happen to be my first IH pair, which is a bit weird. Anyway, thought I'd share some initial thoughts!

-I've never owned a pair with a tighter top block.
-Probably the most uncomfortable pair I've owned haha, but I can already feel them loosening up. That being said, I've worn the same pair for almost three years, so I'm not used to new denim.
-The fit is pretty fucking fantastic for a slim straight.
-Back pockets are too small! Can hardly fit my phone in there..

Overall I'm satisfied, because the fit seems just right.

Damn those look awesome! Drool.
I wish I had jumped on the sbg bb's when I had the chance. SBG denim with black stitching is pure money.
Hopefully one day there's a 666sbg with black stitching. They belong together like hand in glove.

@Iron swan if you're a small guy R&H have one pair left in W28. I have to say that the 21oz loves the SBG treatment. Great denim.

[Iron swan]

@neph93 good looking out buddy! Unfortunately the smallest I could fit is a 31, maybe a 30.
I wish I could fit into a 28!

[jock1624]

Went with my usual 33 size .

I'm not much for fit pics. The lighting in my hall with my little mirror sucks. I'm so happy with these jeans I had to. These are probably my favorite jeans out of the bag I've ever had. I was hesitant about the yellow threads, but in person they are the right choice on these pants. I'm glad to have sbg in this cut, the 8301 did not work for me. I strongly back these for anyone looking for 666. Thanks for all the help picking them out @Winchy 21oz for life.

Now I just have to wait for them to get hemmed.

[Appfaff]

Excellent fit dude!  I wish I could make the 666 cut work… they look perfect!

Seconded for the great fit! And seconded for not being able to make the 666-cut work anymore.
