IH-666D - 17oz Duck Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Brown

[neph93]

I've stopped babying my IH stuff, it's not like I wear it to church and it's not like IH gear isn't made to take a beating. Same procedure as with all my gear, they were washed in a machine on 40C on a low spin with an old pair of 301's and some shirts. The only special favour I did them was getting them soaked through in the shower beforehand as per IH's own instructions for washing duck. It was a good washing day so they dried outside in the sun.

@footandmaff:

Wow @neph93 you really fried that patch!

It's not actually as crispy as it looks in the photo. In fact it's not crispy at all. Where it looks black/dark is actually washed in indigo transfer from my belts. Otherwise there are cosmetic cracks, like I said, only washed on 40C and I'd oiled it a while ago. In my experience, the thick IH patches go that way in the wash. I dig it. I'll chuck some mink oil on it next time I have the mink oil out

About 4 months in and no washes yet. These are getting more wear than anything else right now

That's crazy for four months!

Only the wallet fade is that extreme, but I can definitely see some whiskering and combs starting. I'm likely going to really need to wash them by six months, but want to keep pushing for the contrast

@tim_horton:

These are my favorite jeans, bar none. Any chance of them being reissued? I will stock up on my size (36).

PM sent!

[Giles]

Restocked….

Planning on picking up a pair of these in 36 this weekend during the sale. @Winchy is there any chance there's some variation in sizing and there's a 36 that measures maybe between 35.5 and 36? I'm between sizes and would rather not size up to 38 to keep the rest of the pant slim.

@setandsetting

Check your PMs.

Giving these some fresh air. 5 months, no wash

How much stretch has anyone gotten in these? I am on the fence as to whether to order my size (32or 33)or go up one since i usually have to break in my IH jeans and stretch them about an inch…. thanks in advance!

[neph93]

There's some chat about this earlier in the thread. Short answer, I got a little stretch but not much. About .75 of an inch on a 36" waist. You won't get near the same as with the 21oz.

Size up.

[jdl1279]

Mine have stretched from 30.5" to 31" and doubt I could get much more.

@Seul:

Size up.

[Bluegrass]

I sized up as well and glad I did…..

So my wife and I are expecting twins- a girl and a boy!  And today, as I'm in the shower, she hangs these next to my 666D's…

So. Cute. Congratulations to you all [emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1490]
