@neph93:

I have the last gen of LHT in the 666 and it stretched about 1.5".

@piranha if you're concerned about the waist dimensions, then I'd advise same tagsize as your 666's despite the slight difference. The 888's will sit differently.

Thank you.
I'm trying to find old measurements of the 666s I have written down and I can't find them.  I may have over estimated at two inches but I definitely stretched them over and inch.
I have a pair of Pure Blue Japans in that relaxed tapered fit similar to the 888s that I literally wore out but they fit really well.

I have the IH-666-19L-v2 also. They came in around 34.5 at the start. They are at 36" now. Decent stretch to be had, and you needn't work too hard for it.

I got 2 v2's 634's. Got about 1 inch of stretch in the waist, got some stretch on the thigh also. You gonna get 1 inch for sure and probably more if needed based on Neph93 experience. Lovely denim.

Yeah I couldn’t get these. I’m bummed! The waist on the 36s is just too small and the 38s are too big. Oh well, there’s always future stuff

I got a pair of these and I'll see how they fit.

I'm certain I'll look good however they fit me because I'm so handsome, but I'll send some fit pics for you all.

[yannis]

I am sure they will look great. The 19L takes a bit longer to brake in. Its starts pretty stiff. Buttons can be hard to do just like the 25oz. But it turns glorious as you wear it and fades beautifully.

@Paul9221:

What is it that some people don't like about the leg-twist?  Is it just the asymmetric look?

so how is the leg twist…

[yannis]

If you cold wash and non spin the led twist is minimal.

[Giles]

It varies from pair to pair…..

Anyone have any fit pics to share? Just ordered my pair

So inky. They look great.

Thanks, Adam!

My indecisiveness is killing me! I'm torn between a size 32 and a size 33. The 32 is a true 32 and the 33 is a true 32.5. My end goal after stretch would be about 33.5 to 33.75.

Do I go with the 32 and try to stretch them to a 33.75 or so I go with the 33 and deal with them potentially being a bit larger than I'd like?

[neph93]

Getting a pair from 32 to 33.75 is a big ask. It may happen but may not. You will be safer (and more comfortable) going with the tag 33

[piranha]

I finally got my pair out and tried them on and walked around and squatted and sat and drank cabernet on the back porch and  rolled around in the floor and squatted again all in 10 minutes and stretched my pair .5 of an inch to 34.5 inches.  The tags stayed in place. I’m awesome. 
I might soak them to get the legs a little more snug. I’ll try to get pictures soon.

Any idea when these will be back in stock in 35?

[piranha]

Yes, I was correct, but I'm always correct, also handsome. The waist did stretch two inches. Do the continentals need it in centimeters? My size 34 888S-19L went from 33.8" when they arrived from Britain to exactly 36.0" today. I may be "husky" but I didn't put any undue exertion on the jeans. They basically worked their way to that size. That's a shrinkage rate of 6.1%

I have a pair of Strike Gold 3105 in size 34 that went from 34.4" to 36" after three days of wear.

Coming correct, handsome AND in some lefties? Lethal combo
