IH-666S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Currently having a personal dilemma between these and a pair of 777-21oz ::)
Is there a particular reason for the waist measurement to be 1" larger than the tag?
Only reason I ask is I'm a 30" waist (somewhat shocking considering the love for pizza) and the 30 tag 666 claims 31" yet the 30 tag 777 claims 30"
suppose the logic step would be punt for tag 29 666? -

My current jeans were 30" (Nudie Grim Tim) prior to stretching with wear, they buttoned up snugly when brand new and measured as advertised. They also have similar rise to the 666 30 tag so sit the same.

Sewing up anything (bodies excepted I guess) is not a science. In a perfect world, we would have all our sanforized and washed jeans measuring as tag. But we often don't get our calculations wrong, by accident rather than design (unlike the brands that vanity tag on purpose), so ALWAYS look at the charts and measure like we do….

Hi guys, I'm wondering whether I should hem them a bit? Is this too much for the stacks?
This pair is L36"Need some recommendation !!
-
@8filtonave I would definitely have them hemmed. You've got more than enough to stack with, even with the cuff which must be at least two inches.

I think you could loose about 2 inches and still have nice stacks.
I think I gonna cut them 2.5 inches.
Also, I notice that the knee parts stretch out fast. Not sure if only me feel that. How about yours? -
+1 on the stretching. My 21oz 634s typically never retain a "tight" state because they stretch so well. That being said, I would say the 21oz is probably the most comfortable (IMHO)
If you are ever looking for something a bit more stiff, I would highly suggest the XHS….my favorite denim by far.

Iron Hearts's 21oz generally does stretch quite a lot. But bunching around the knees will also happen when you have too much length, so hemming may help. After that just wear them. They'll look even better when the denim settles and starts draping.

Totally agree with you guys! Since the 666s 21 is my first IH, I didn't expect they stretch that much. It would be better if I chose one size down
Anw, I brought them to cut yesterday. Really want to keep the chainstitch after hemming but local sewers can't make it

Impressive man!
Actually, they're still my best pair so far. The fabric's quality is superb. Very comfy!! -
The 666 cut is perfect for me in every denim except this one for some reason. The thigh measurement seems to be quite a bit narrower in these and it’s been that way since they were released. Is there quite a bit of variation in measurements on these or are they fairly consistent?
