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

Nope, the IHSH-177 and 178 are made from the OG 18oz.
So Neph, you were before your time
That makes more sense as the vintage 18oz is a lot more forgiving than the og version. It also makes me getting my hands on a 178 even more of a prerogative.
Just to quote myself, it would carry on a fine tradition of me fucking up on OD CPO’s if I didn’t get a 178. I managed to fail on numerous occasions to get my hands on a 99 as well… maybe I should just wait for the new version. The vintage 18oz is wonderful stuff and I suspect the shirt would be a very different and quite unique beast when compared to its predecessors.

Ha, that's pretty interesting — I'll have to compare my OG 666s with the 178 when I get back home. I love em both, just for some reason the CPO always seemed much stouter to me, so I like said I guessed the stiffness came from that dyeing process, in the sense that denim often stiffens up quite a bit after a wash.
In general I wear the jeans and wash them a whole lot more than the CPO though, due to the fact that we pretty much get hardly any real winter here, so the jeans have likely just broken in a lot more.

I’m talking about the fact that the actual fabric feels more substantial on the shirt than the jeans. I’m sure it’s just my imagination.
Could be something to do with the way the the fugitive dye saturates the fabric. I think I know what you mean. My od’ed 21oz Type III feels heavier and thicker to the hand than standard 21oz. I do love all these odd deviations and mysteries with these fabrics.

Just procured a pair of 33s. REALLY looking forward to getting 'em.
Now the wait…

So I just bought a pair of these at Burg und Schild. Will have them hemmed before I can show fit pics. Back to my first ih fabric.

I only have the 666-21s and I think they are my jam.
im jonesing for an over dyed pair:) -
I just read the measurements and am afraid the thighs might be too tight but I tried them on and compared them to the 777 od
-
Impatiently awaiting a restock on these… I wonder if the mainstream trend back to wider lower legs (ie boot cut) will see the 666 cut doing well? I have 2 pairs of 666, and I love that wider look whilst retaining the slim top-block. I think paradoxically it suits skinny legs, alleviating the 'tuning fork' look.
Anyhoo, just drooling out loud anticiping an OD pair.

I've had a pair for a couple of weeks. I could potentially have sized down, they're a bit roomier than my 21 indigo 666 with some stretch to come. I hope I don't end up with too much slop in the top box (so to speak), but I'm actually liking the slightly looser look. OD is the business as usual! I'm hoping they don't lose the black too quick, although the bluish tinge is clear here against the real black of the chino type 2. Love 'em, just got my fingers crossed on the settling-in.

I they never go truly blue. Even well faded pairs still look like they were black jeans once.
I honestly can’t see how you would want them any looser! It is a great fit. Well done. I think there is a lot to be said for comfort. I also enjoy having pairs that a are a little more relaxed than others.
I’ll also add that after two weeks wear, there shouldn’t be much more stretch left.

True news. Here my 21oz OD after more than 7 years, 1000+ wears. This is as blue as I can make them look.

sorry for asking in two topics, but is there a restock coming soon?
Looking more closely, i think triple 6 will be way better fit then 555s.
