IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)
-
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!

OMG! 1 years wear, 2 soaks, 1 wash, 1 sea wash. OMG!
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. -
Well, the pairs with much fading show what a denim is able to do. It then depends on the wearer to deliver the results. If somebody never gets much fading he probably won't get crazy results with a pair that's capable of great fading results. That said, you should look into the double duck fabric for a fabric that will easily fade. The 21 oz Standard denim is more of a tough nut to crack.

The denim is dipped in the same indigo for the same number of times for the same elapsed period. The different fades wearers achieve is 100% down to lifestyle.
Which is really why denim is so special. Without wanting to sound pretentious, denim to some extent tells your story/documents your lifestyle…

Thanks Giles. I didn't find that pretentious. It's a difficult decision! Enjoyable though
-
Can anyone tell me how much shrinkage in the waist after sufficient soaks? And did you find that it stretched back to tag size? Thanks
-
Per the product page:
Will shrink approximately 1" in the waist and approximately 2 inch in the inseam, and after a month or two of wear the waist will stretch back to approx pre-soak size
what is your opinion on thigh shrinkage with IH jeans?

All horizontal measurements will shrink proportionally to waist shrinkage, all vertical measurements proportionally to inseam shrinkage.
Seeing as waist, knee and hem measurements don't involve masses of fabric, shrinkage is negligible, unless of course they were too tight to behind with.
EDIT: Of course it would be easier to follow @Giles link which explains things much more succinctly
