Leave it to Beatle to design the perfect androgynous, universal, intergalactic pair of jeans. How about a run of the ODs with the same minimalist arcs as the 301-07BK

my true waist size is 29, would i be able to get away with a size 28?

Can't, those are Self Edge arcs, and anyway whether we like them ot not, the arcs used on the BB are part of the IH brand….............If you don't like them, un-pick them, dead easy and no harm done....

[Beatle]

Farmer - I actually dig the current IH arcs - there have been so many changes over the last couple of years that I would love for these to stick around forever ….

[premo]

^ I'd really like to see a timeline of how they evolved over the years…

@Beatle:

yeah, that helps..judging by plain waist measurements I would recommend a 33. But - make sure the thigh measurements work out. Same procedure..hehe

thank you @beatle! cheers, mikael.

I've gone thru the thread looking for soaking instructions, and to summarize:

soak 1 hour at hot temperature.

Question:

what if I put these in the washing machine for an hour with no soap at 60-70 temp. Would the end result be so different from a soak? In other words, how would the wringing cycle of the washing machine affect the pants? Creases? Other???

thanks

[Max Power]

creases could occur, but this mustn't happen. All in all a tub soak is more gentle. But you could maybe turn the spin cycle off. And it would surprise me, if the water in yout tub had 70 degrees, so the jeans could possibly shrink more in the machine.

[Guest]

my guess is: IH666's + trip through the washing machine= weird annoying marks in the jeans

[Max Power]

it won't be that bad, but hand wash / soak is the safe bet.

[gbougard]

at 400 bucks or so, I was NOT going to chance it! Currently soaking in the tub, can't be more than 40-45, though. BTW, the water turned a bit blueish immediately.

I was worried about soaking my pair of 666's as they were a fairly snug fit in the thigh and waist.

I hot soaked for 2 hrs then hung them up to dry overnight.

As soon as i woke up i put them on (only slightly damp) and wore to work to loosen them up a little.

I was walking like the tin man off wizard of oz for a few hours, but they feel fine now.

[Seul]

The best way to stretch a waist is by wearing it whilst still damp…

Of course: this implies you being able to get into them first, which can be quite the hassle... Been there...

[Giles]

Thought that it would be useful to give you sizing inf of my tagged 33's.  One hot soak and one weeks constant wear:

Waist    34
FR          10.5
RR          15
Thighb    12
Knee        8.5
Cuff        8.25
Inseam    36

I get more compliments in these jeans than any other pair I have ever owned - and I thought I was not a slim jean dude…..

[ALEX1976]

Anybody here it wear the 666 in 34 waist?
I wear DC 4001 in 34 and i will try 666 in 34.
Beatle was sagst du?

[Beatle]

Alex - I have not tried the DC4001…judging by thigh measurements (size 36, 666 12.1 /  34dc4 13 ) I am not sure that sizing up might be a solution
