IH-666S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[setandsetting]

Thanks to whoever returned a 35 and to IH for making 35's.

[Palmer]

Wearing and washing the 14oz a lot this summer. I'll probably get another month in them before getting back into heavier denim.

Hey so, I was just wondering. Do these dye off on everything at first before they've been washed a bit? or is that just the OD indigo / the black ones?

They looks so good in all the pictures you guys have been posting here! but I don't think people here would be very happy if I left dye everywhere

Indigo transfers much more than the OD, and indigo/black. But that is the case for all proper denim. It is only a worry on white or cream fabrics/surfaces.

@neph93  Hey, how would you say the 666 compares to Levi's 501? I looked at the measurments and these in size 34 would be about the same as my levi's. I'm just worried that the top block might not be the same.

[Giles]

There are loads of different versions of the 501, you would need to say which version of 501 you are talking about.

[Kasi]

Unless it the pair. From

1902 501XX 

[Dmart]

In general, I would say the 666 is overall slimmer than a pair of 501. I believe the 634 cut is closer to a 501 than a 666. There are too many 501 versions as Giles mentioned.
If you have a specific pair of 501, measure it the IH way and compare.

[Giles]

The 634 cut is loosely based on the 1966 501….

[neph93]

Agreed with all the above @K I’m not super into the American OG denim brands but the 666 has always struck me as a Wrangler-esque, while the 634 has much more Levi’s in its DNA. But that really is just subjective associations.

[K]

I tried to find which levi 501's I have but it just says "501 ORIGINAL FIT - Jeans straight leg" with buttons and that it's "wide". Also, I compared the measurments and the IH-666s-142 seems to be the same as my 501's. The raise is sbout 1 cm +- give or take.

[prpx]

could be '93 model. dont have them anymore, but based on the memory it was similar to 666.
btw, i find 666 to be a brilliant design, just fascinating how well they fit me (together with 2014SC)

[Giles]

Perceived comfort of a fit is an interesting thing.  If I have been wearing 634 for a while and then pop on a pair of 666, I immediately notice the lower rise and it irritates me for about 10 minutes, then I get completely used to it…..
