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

[marlin]

Thanks, @1fookntitefd!

I bought it in October 2015. Washes? I did not keep track of it, but I believe not more than 5 washes. October 2016 I bought a Samurai and since then I switch every now and then.

Thanks a lot, @rocket!

Finally got around to soaking my pair. Good news is I got my sizing right!

They are still stiff as a board! My wife often refers to my jeans as "stiffies"  and these certainly qualify.

Nice! Enjoy this beautiful denim.

The IH-666S is now officially ENDANGERED :o (which means it will gradually be phased out as it is replaced by the IH-666S-18).

However, we will probably do another production run of missing sizes, so for now the "request an email when restocked" is still enabled.

Whoa. I never thought I'd see these go away.

End of an era! Fortunately the vintage 18oz is seriously good stuff.

We had to decide whether to continue with 2 18oz denims or cut one out.  I decided that sticking with one was a more sensible approach….

Does this mean the SH-177 and SH-178 18oz CPO's will switch to the 18oz vintage in the future too?

[Giles]

I have enough for about 200 somethings of the original (IH-666S) 18oz denim, the IHSH-177 and 178 are safe for a while…...

I agree, I have a pair myself.

Makes sense. Does this mean that this denim is going away completely then? Not just in this cut?

[Giles]

It's the denim that we are retiring…...

[Oleg]

That's sad.One of the most beautiful denims out there.Would it be a good idea to run 888?Does it mean after retiring 21/23 and 18oz IH goes fully sanforized ?

[Giles]

No I'll always keep a few unsanf in the range…

[Oleg]

@Giles That's great.Thx

[manufc10]

Damn, now this makes two discontinued denims I'll need to pick up that I don't have (18 and 21/23)

[Giles]

Bleeding amateur…...

[manufc10]

Seriously…who even let me in here anyways???

[Dion]

The UHR (21/23 oz) and the raw endangered 18 oz are amongst the most beautiful denims I've encountered. Jus' sayin'…
