IH-666S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Guest]

has anyone owned and worn these and the 25oz 666? my current jeans (14oz eternals) still have some life left in them but you know…. cough, cough planning ahead.... wondering if anyone has any thoughts from personal experience on one versus the other.

I own both. The 25oz are not as soft as the 21oz at first, it takes a bit to get them there but they do get super comfy. The weight difference is very noticeable, and the 25oz doesn’t breath as well as the 21oz. The 25oz has a richer, deeper indigo color as well, but both denims fade beautifully.

Oh, @Graham , buddy. This may be your cut? Do you own a pair?

Appreciate that massively! The reason I got my 8’s was mainly because we were out of stock of my tag size of the 666s-21 and the 666-XHS and I really wanted to change it up and have a smaller hem opening to contrast my 634S. Even thou I love them both equally. I def feel I lean more towards the 666 and I will have a pair in the next few weeks I promise.

I always loved the 666 but felt I couldn't work it because of my stubby inseam. When I started doing waywt pics I realised I could and keep coming back to it. It may look better on leggy gazelles but us solid types can work it too. Nice boots btw

@neph93 I resent the implication, you saucy tart.

Hey guys, just scored a pair of these in and they are amazing. How much stretch can I expect in the thighs? They are a touch tight right now but I'm hoping they relax and loosen a bit because everything else is perfect.

It is 21oz so they will relax and loosen. Calling it stretch is a little strong. Wear them for your everyday activity and it sounds like you’ll be fine. Personally I think a little tightness in the 21oz at the start is a good thing.

The heaviness of the denim increases the feeling of tightness. Once you get used to it and the denim relaxes it sounds like you’ll be fine.

Get a couples of pics up if you’re unsure. A little third party opinion never hurts.

Agreed. If you can ‘just’ button them up and they feel snug to the point of “barely fitting in them” then they’ll eventually fit you perfect. You’ll walk around like the tinman following the yellow brick road for the first few hours but the denim does relax quite a bit. Be warned that eventually you’ll consider this weight of denim normal and anything lighter will feel like tissue paper in comparison.
