IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[mikebarhoot]

Hemmed to 33.5" to be long enough for no or small cuff. Just now satarting to break in. 1 wash 2 soaks. Since December.

Snagged some 666 XHS off the marketplace and wondering if you guys think they are too tight in the thigh… They are definitely snug, although the waist is relaxed.

The fly pulls a bit, but considering they havnt been worn much, I figured they might stretch a bit more, eventually.

Thoughts?

The silhoutte looks great. Very good fit and an excellent score imo. From experience the thigh seems tighter on these because of the denisity and weight if the fabric. It just doesn't stretch and move like the 21oz.

I think it's a great fit and the thighs don't look too tight at all. It's only the XHS feeling you get for the first wears. Don't worry, they do stretch if necessary, and they can seem snug (although they aren't) in the beginning. Congrats to the great purchase!

Thanks guys, after wearing them for a few hours the fit is growing on me.  I keep getting closer and closer to giving the 666S-18oz a whirl,fitting my quads into this "slim" thigh is helping convince me it might actually be possible haha

looks bueno.. congrats on the score!

[mikebarhoot]

and dayum… youve lost some weight!  w2g!

Many thanks @mikebarhoot - just focusing on staying healthier again for my kiddos.

I was a bit apprehensive of buying these since the inseam was 30-30.5, and I'm 6'1, but it seems to work perfect with boots and probably converse. Perhaps I should hem my pants shorter from now on haha

Word. I need to get so much better at that.

@Appfaff I know you already got your answer, but those look perfect dude! Nice modern fit/m without being "skinny hipster" at all. I would say with those boots the inseam looks a touch short (given the heel on them), but no weirdly short. Like you said, would prolly be no problem with some sneakers or even some chukkas.

Great grab man!

Cheers

@Dstauffer - many thanks dude - I have a tendency to get 32-33" inseams so I don't lose too much of the classic IH .5' taper. Luckily, my size in the 666XHS had a good Leg Opening anyways. I usually find myself cuffing so I can't get a drape, because I hate when the edge of the cuff gets pulled under shoes, and since I only wear a 9.5-10.5US in shoes, that happens often lol I think these are the shortest inseam I could go without it looking weird, for sure.

Speaking just from my experience with the 18 and 25oz, my SII seem a bit slimmer than the XHS. I could probably get a bit more shrinking out of the 18 too.

Thanks for the input dude!

As a side note the XHS just broke its (1€) hanger. It held up pretty well almost a year.

Can't wait til these badass mofos develop some serious evo… long way to go!

[neph93]

Very nice indeed [emoji1434]

[Dion]

Seconded!

thanks mate.. when the right time to wash my jeans? any opinion

[jdl1279]

I agree with the above, coming along nicely! To answer the washing question, when they start to smell. Even semi regular washing won't hurt these
