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

Is there the slightest chance we will see 142-od in 634?
-
634 version in 2019 sometime? I’m a serious fanboy now of both the 634 fit—-my personal favorite—-and of OD. Of course I could not resist and just went for the 666, ‘cause that works too.
-
Does the ‘double twisted weft yarn’ suggest they will stretch like the 21oz denim?

Thanks Giles..

For anyone who's interested in a comparison between the old 14od and the new 142od, I have both in the forms of the IHxPxT1 jacket and 666-142od, the latter of which I've been wearing the hell out of since getting them for Christmas. Comparing the two denims it seems the new version is more resistant to fading, less slubby (although I wouldn't call either slubby) and feels more dense. They stretched quite a bit in the waist relatively quickly. The new denim also seems more resilient, which I believe is one of the benefits of twisted weft. I'll post some photos to illustrate the difference when I get a chance. I'm loving the 666 cut, and think I would also like the 555 cut, although a mix between the two would be awesome (the top block of the 555 with knee and hem measurements of the 666).

I've been wearing my pair of IH-666S-142od for the better part of 6 months, 5/7 days a week while at work. They have not been washed or soaked, but regularly spend the night in a freezer for antiseptic. Compared to my IHxPxT1 jacket, made with the old, non-twisted-weft 14od fabric, the newer fabric is much slower to fade, but much more resilient. My jacket has faded more in probably 1-2 months worth of wear than my jeans have with at least 3 times as much wear. In saying that, my jacket has started to wear through near one of the wrist rivets, while my jeans aren't showing even the hint of any blowouts starting. Despite being so slow to fade, I'm confident they will fade beautifully with enough time, as they crease super crisp. The 666 cut is one of my favourites. In the time that I've owned them I've lost around 15kg, and I think the cut still looks good and formal enough to wear to work as a doctor in a looser fit.
