IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

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.

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...

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…..

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?

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

Giles

I wear 33 in both. But the 666 took a load more effort to beat into submission…...

Whats your weight in kg?
How tall?

@ALEX1976:

Whats your waist?
How tall?

im 6ft 4" and i always buy 34" waist jeans and trousers and they fit me fine.

ALEX1976

I ll try a 34 and 36 waist!
I odered both on DC.de

The wrong one go back to Daniel:-)

Is soaking before wearing important?
Or can i wear them without soaking???

Giles

My personal view is that what your waist measures is to a great part academic. My actual waist is way higher than the waist band of my jeans. What is important is what a pair of jeans you have worn for a while actually measure and then make some informed adjustments depening upin the rise.

I get returns every day from people who either measure their actual waist or believe the tag-size bullshit on their existing jeans. Example, I am having a pair of 34 634S retunred today because the customer wears a tag size 34 in a pair of Levis, the poor dude, could not even do the bottom button up, I suspect the actual measurements of those "34's" is closer to 37….........

They are raw and should be soaked…..

ALEX1976

Ok Giles;-)

I order both sizes and try!

Giles

Alex, make sure you look at the measurements of my 1 week old tag size 33 to understand what you may end up with in the 34 and 36….(somewhere up above)..........

IH666S Love

Beatle

yes…...

if my waist measures exactly 30 inches should i buy size 29 or 30? i don't mind sizing down and stretching the tighter waist, but i also don't want it to be so tight that it won't stretch out to the 30.

thanks.

Giles

29 will go…..

I soaked it a couple of days ago, lt it dry until I put it on this morning, and I went WOW. This is the best fabric, so freaking stiff, the blue is so deep and dark. It is very elegant, no need for an OD'ing. I still rank the SR's a shade above because the weight is so impressive.

The lined pockets show an attention to detail I just love.

What's surprising is that the 34 waist is as snug as my 32 SR's. I'm sure it will stretch but it is definitely not a 34…

In any case, I'm curious to see how this one will age. Should be wonderful.

Beautiful, thank you so much Haraki and IH crew.
