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

@neph93:

Absolutely gorgeous @dinobarnesberlin. There is nothing quite like 21oz fades. The take so long but one is rewarded richly for the effort and patience.

So true @neph93 – takes a long time but when it finally starts, its worth the wait.
I remember back when I first found the forum--reading something that you had written to some other newbie about the joys of the 21 oz....you were right then, and you are right again
Looking forward to year two with these.

These jeans look great, a really sweet point between slim and straight.

@Planesio:

I checked the super slim section, and the 666 models are no there, Are they taking the 666 out of the collection?

Hi.

The 666 is in the «Slim» section. It is not considered «Super Slim» because of the way the leg drops below the knee.

All products marked «Continuous Production» will restock. The IH-666s-21 will certainly be back at some point, although I couldn’t tell you when.

There are a couple of other ways to find a particular pair of jeans….Look in "All Bottoms" or use the search facility on the site or click on "See nnnnnnn in shop" on any forum product page.

Restock in about a week/10 days

Quick question I know what to do with 25oz jeans when soaking them to get the shrinkage out

These 21oz has anyone ever soaks these first to fade them fast.
To give more blue effect.. rather than dull colour

You won’t see any difference in color from the 21oz for the first few washes, [mention]Kasi [/mention] . A soak isn’t really necessary with 21oz.

Truth^

They fade slowly, but beautifully, no soak needed, not is it wise. Just wear them like you hate them, wash them when they’re dirty.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to give some information on theae jeans in the hope it helps newbies like me.
I was really torn between the 777 and the 666. I also wanted to try the 25oz (XHS) vs 21oz.

Luckily, I am an hour away from Gosport so had the privilege of trying jeans on in person.

The 666 XHS felt very rugged and durable and Graham IH was wearing a great pair that had softened up. He recommended washing them from the get go. Unfortunately they were out of my size. I attempted a 34 (my size is 36) with very little joy.

I then tried some 777s in 25oz. Whilst the 36 went on ok. The cut is definitely tighter and I had bunches at the back of my knee which would have chewed the back of my legs up. I realise they would also have provided awesome fades and contrast but as a bigger guy I readily admit I am built for comfort not for speed.

I then teied on some 666s 21oz. I can't be 100% sure if I would have bought the 25oz over the 21oz but I ended up getting the 21oz for a few reasons. 1. They fit really well. 2. They were in stock. 3. I will likely wear them for work so like that they will fade slowly.

With reference to the 21oz. I tried on a 36 that was about .2" from buttoning up. Luckily they had a few in stock and I managed to get a pair that were a tad bigger than the measurements suggested on the site and fit perfectly.

Here are my lessons for newbies overwhelmed like I was:

1. IH customer service is probably the best in the world (eapecially Graham) so if you are in doubt just use the webchat

2. As there is variance in sizes, cuts and fabrics study the charts. I could easily if ordered a 36 online. Not been able to do it up, exchanged for a 38 that was too big and then not know what to do so best to ask for a larger 36 if that makes sense.

3. If possible the journey is worth it to IH to get the fit perfect. I appreciate this isn't possible for everyone but as you are spending a big chunk of change it's great to get the fit right.

4. You will realise that certain cuts are not quite right for you and that's cool

Appreciate this hall all been covered but just my 2 cents.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I just tried to cover what I was looking for when trying to decide. Thanks again buddy.

[Graham]

@Kingsselvedge1 absolute pleasure to have you and your family down here and we are so pleased that you have left with a pair of denim that you are going to love for years to come and the insight you have provided here is greatly appreciated and very true.

Really appreciate the kind words and we can not wait to hear how you get on with the 6's after a bit of wear.

Look forward to seeing you down here when the XHS is back on the shelves too!

[Kingsselvedge1]

Thanks Graham. Def have my eye on those 666 XHS. Thanks for a great service and a decent coffee too

Well, I said my pics would be no better in daylight.  Anyway, here's what @Graham fixed me up with yesterday.

[Jett129]

Those look pretty perfect on you. Good job Graham!

[ARNC]

Thanks @Jett129. Graham was great.
