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

[ARNC]

It’s been said before but even the “standard” 21oz is tough! I lost my footing on the path/stream last night rushing down the hill to meet friends. I landed quite hard with one knee on sharp slate fragments and apart from a slightly damp/muddy knee at dinner everything is fine. With lesser jeans I’m sure my knee would have been shredded (probably jeans and flesh).

After wielding the clothes brush this morning almost nothing is visible apart from a very angular fade.

(safety pin for scale)

Christmas present to myself arrived early! Thanks Graham for finding a tag 35 with slightly larger thighs. For reference: This is a tag 35"  with thigh 12.7" amd hemmed at 33.5. I am 189cm and 92kg. A little tight on first wear, but works I think.

Tried searching but couldn’t find. Anyone have any insight how these fit compared to something like AG or 3sixteen? I’m a 36 in both. Best fitting pants I have are 3sixteen CT-100x in a 36.

The best would be to compare measurements of your best fitting jeans in the IH way with the respective IH model.

[Tmcgraw]

I’ve compared them with the measurements of the actual jeans compared to IH measurements and they seem pretty close. Was just looking for anyone who may have made the jump.

From everything I’ve ordered, it seems IH is very accurate with minimal deviation from their posted measurements.

Just consider the stretch. The 21oz stretches quite a bit in the waist.

More than 1” of stretch? What about the thighs? That’s my biggest issue, beer belly and thick thighs lol

[Dmart]

My personal experience with the 21oz is a good inch but some experienced even more. Can’t comment on the thighs in the 666 but wouldn’t expect too much stretch. My thighs are my issues as well but I have a very slim waist wherefore I need different cuts. The thighs on the 666 are to small compared to the waist.

[Tmcgraw]

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

Fwiw, the thighs on my pair which started at 12.25 stretched to just about 12.5 with a good starting fit that wasn't too tight. Wouldn't expect much more than that unless you put them under a lot of pressure and then you might be tempting an early failure.

Yes mine too… 1 to 1.5 inch in the waist. Thighs can be a problem with 666 and from my experience stretch there needs much more patience and wear time.

Just got mine in the mail. They are much softer and pleasant to wear right out of the package than my 21.5 oz Brave Stars.

[thomms]

am on the fence for the 666 then I found this on the internet..

now Im planning to add 666 on my rotation..

[bertboschman]

What a great resource this forum! The pictures really helped to decide a suitable fit (and weight) for my first pair of IH jeans. But… any idea when these will be restocked?

[Brandrea]

@thomms when I started here, I dove right in to the 666 cut. Still love them, but for me the 634 is the best cut.

[AdamJ]

@bertboschman They are due very soon

[bertboschman]

@AdamJ good news. Thanks!

[Salted Racer]

@AlexO I also have the 21 oz bravestars and I do like them but It's amazing the difference between my 21oz IH and them.

[bertboschman]

@AdamJ Do you know whether it's before the end of the year?

[Alex]

@bertboschman we don't sorry. Should be this year.
