IH-666S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I went to a local IH dealer nearby and they only had the 666S in 14 oZ and I tried it. I feel that the part below the knee is a bit wider to my taste. I then had a look at the measurements comparison between the 555N and looks like the knee is slightly wide on the 666S-14 oZ. However, the measurements on the 666S-21 oZ is only bigger by a small fraction than the 555N. So I might try it as soon as I find one in the nearby!

Joe, the 666 is much straighter from the knee down than the 555. So all 666 models are wider from knee to hem. Look at the hem measurements for comparison. If you don't like the wider leg below the knee the 666 isn't for you no matter what denim it's cut from. Try the 777.

I did in fact try the 777 and the 777 was much too narrow for my taste than the 555. So I decided against going for the 777. I would have preferred that the 666 tapers a little bit down from the knee onwards.
I'm waiting for this dealer to order the 666S in 21 oZ and I will give that a try as soon as it is available. Looking at the measurements, the 21 oZ is tad bit smaller than the 14 oZ. Let me see!

I was not able to find a 666S in 21 oZ and I ended up getting what was available nearby. It was Japan Blue 0401 and I sort of like the fit very much! May be I recommend Iron Heart to give us a thicker denim with the fit of JB 0401!

Pretty sure he was trying to buy local, not online.
-
But I got no idea what he might be local to, m'dear.
No worries, to be honest I'd forgotten I'd replied a few posts back already.

@Streetwise:
When it comes to clothes, I avoid getting them online. I prefer to visit a showroom near by, try them on!

You're welcome and I still don't know where you live.

I live in the west of Germany!

So for how long will this denim be available? I have limited myself to one denim this year and since I have already got the Japan Blue, I will refrain from purchasing any more denim for this year. I would get this denim probably next year! Will this model be still available next year? The availability on this says Extant, so I guess it will be around for a couple more years! Is it so?
-
The 21 oz denim is Iron Heart's best seller, and the 666 is the second best selling model. So it's going to be around for a long time, don't worry.

I could not resist. I took the plunge and ordered the 21 oZ! Waiting for it to be delivered and I'm super excited!
-
If you think you're excited now,just wait till you put those bad boys on.
Should I take this positively? Is this some warning to me that I should return them?
-
Take it positively. That's how it was intended.
Colloquial English isn't easy.

if you are excited at buying them, you will be even more excited at wearing them.
english is not that hard

The 21oz denim is pretty incredible. You'll be glad you got these.
