IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[seanocono]

^These are one of those legendary forum pairs, like fanya's MBBs, Seul's XHSs, Flo's Samurais, MCL's Strike Golds, etc.

Much respect, nietenhosen.

Great fit, love the feel of this denim. Great job hemming Arlo! Cheers!

You gonna love these - congrats - I suspect theres not many pairs of these still floating around out there.

Always nice to see some updates/pics in this thread. Gutted that I missed out on these; they had arrived from Japan during my first week with IH and I wish i'd been more clued up and nabbed a pair.

@nietenhosen isn't helping much either. What a great looking pair of jeans!

What size are you Winchy? My first IH were the 666L in a 34. I wore them once or twice but they are just too damn tight for my thighs. Never sold them as I like them so much I keep thinking it might change. It won't though will it so might be time to sell.

Cool patch too - one of the classics.  I can only imagine how active @nietenhosen must be to get his in such a brilliant condition… I spend too much time on my ass to get much evo.

In light of the recent lightweight excitement, here is some more love

Some very nice vertical fading come through on these:

Awesome pair.  Such great denim. Definitely distinct in the way it fades.  Pretty different than anything else Haraki-san has done.

This and the 25oz. are my personal favorites.
Edit: first pic gives the closest rendering.  Actually, there are way more shades of indigo than captured here.

those are some great fades on great denim (nice fit all in all).

what's the wash & wear history when time presents itself.  Also any repairs?

thanks in advance

[browniemcghee]

I bought these from a forum member who I believe had soaked and washed once.  I have washed twice in six months real wear.  No repairs yet.  They will be my daily drivers for the next long while, so I will post in a while when it is interesting.  The vertical fading is so tasty.

Still loving these. Really starting to lighten up, and they are super soft. The worn areas feel like velvet.

They look fantastic. Not sure what I was thinking when I neglected to buy a pair for myself.  ::)

[browniemcghee]

I have to send mine in for a crotch repair.  Yours are looking really great.  I will post mine when I get them back.

Those look awesome! I had mine made into shorts. I need to get some pics of them up, I abused them pretty hard this summer. This denim is stubborn with the indigo, but man they do get velvet soft.
