      Definitely chunky and oversized. The thing is, the measurements all looked fine except for the rear rise which was a bit longer than I'd prefer. But they just feel too big. Even the waist which should be spot on. Not tight at all.

      I have not soaked them, but they are hemmed. Will probably put them up for sale. They might do well after a hot wash though. I'll get some pics in daylight tomorrow!

        More or less what happened to me, except I was planning on getting more all round shrinkage than I did.

        My experience is, you get some shrinkage in the waist, a decent amount in the inseam, but that's it. Thigh, hem and rise stay about the same.

        Like I said, I was disappointed at first, but the denim is so nice, and when they softened they looked a lot less funky. Now I enjoy them. Hope it works out for you, definitely get some pics up. It was G and tmg's encouragement that got me to persevere with ny pair. Glad I did now.

          The thing I've got going for me is that they're still a tag29, so at least they won't swallow a pair of boots if I decide to keep them haha. What I find the most disappointing though is the top block in general. The 666 is suppose to have a tight fitting top block, and my 666-BKs are nice and tight in that area. Which I really like!

          We'll see. The denim is the best I've ever handled though. Up there with Eternal 811.

            Aight, here are some crappy pictures. Don't think we'll enjoy any daylight today haha, all foggy outside so they turned out a bit dark. Drop the hammer, boys. Sell or keep? There's a lot of fabric in the general hip area, the front and back seat.

              No soak yet? The front looks ok, will be better when it settles. The silhouette from the side looks good, but the back , not so much. Looks to me like you could actually size down, have a hot soak and be fine. How are the W28 measurements? And are there any left?

                Not soaked them yet. They didn't even make them in tag28, and all sizes are gone now. Leaning towards selling them, since they've been hemmed I can't return them. But I'd also like somebodys expert opinion on what a 60 degree wash would do.

                Appreciate your input @neph93! As always.

                  I think they're way too big as well. A hot wash will shrink them a lot in length but not enough in the top block I'm afraid.

                      I have had good results with 60c washes (and 90c, but most people suggest not doing that), but not with this denim. It seems like selling them is your best bet, but if nobody bites you may as well give the hot wash a try. Nothing to lose at that point.

                        I ended up giving my UHR bb's the 60C treatment. I don't think you'll get the shrinkage you want judging by my experience, but it'll improve matters some. Like the good Dr. Babyhorse says, if you can't flip them, you have nothing to lose.

                                Holy shit guys, I got my hands on a pair of these through the forum and I am utterly blown away. I thought I would strictly be an XHS guy, but these have really impressed me. Also, my first pair of 666 cut denim and while I prefer more hem width, I do like everything else about the cut.

                                I'll try to post some pics soon, but wow!

                                  Probably the craziest / most unique fades I've ever seen.

                                    Here's mine. I stopped keeping track but I'd estimate 350-400 days and two washes. Hands down the best jeans I've ever owned!

                                        Hey guys, i've got an IH-666 UHR. Pretty Heavy pair of Denim! 😶 Do you guys have any experiences how long it will approx take until it's broken in. It's my first pair of Denim which is over 14oz and it seems kind of hard and fits tight so i have to keep the first button open.
                                        By the way i soaked it ones in cold water, so it shrinked a bit. Will the waist stretch back? Seems like it will be a hard piece of work! Thanks for your help!

                                        Hey- now that you had some time wearing these, are you able to button the top button? I'm about it the same boat with the 21 oz denim and am just contemplating sizing up but everyone says they will stretch ….

                                            I see so much discrepancy in the fading. Some People have the same amount of Time and wear and the denim holds the indigo. While Others shed it. . I know lifestyle In the jeans makes a difference but is there a gamble that regardless of how you live some Pairs just won't fade? I'm asking because I just can't make up
                                            My damned mind on my next purchase.

                                            Maybe so. Maybe not
