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

The direction of the twill DOES have a bearing on which direction the legs will twist, but being left hand twill has no bearing on whether the denim will twist or not.
The 2 factors that minimise leg twist in any denim are sanforisation and skewing. This denim is sanforised and has been skewed, so there should not be a great deal of twist, but you never know…...

Thanks Giles

I picked up a pair. I’m a size 34 in basically everything from Iron Heart but I got a size 33. Do you think this is the correct size? It’s an open ended question, I realize.

These measurements look really good for me for a 666 cut. Tempted.

It's impossible to answer for anyone but you when you try them, but if you're used to around a 34" starting waist and can tackle the thighs, then you should be fine with a size down. Denim will stretch…
Thanks for your reply. Oh, I stretch denim pretty well.

How did I not hear about this!? Jeez Louise

Did anybody get their pair of these yet? I am sincerely intrigued. Not my cut though. If these are even softer than regular 21 oz they would be insane.
@Giles any plan for these in a 1955 cut (so I could wear them as pajamas)?

I received my pair on Friday and was a little worried about the fit at first because they were tight. They’re slowly giving up the tightness. As for the material, they’re lighter than the 19L which is dark. These jeans are a medium gray and have a sheen to them. It’s an illusion and just the weft coming through.

But how do they feel? Is the hand very soft? Do you have a pair of 21oz jeans to compare them to?

I don’t have another pair of 21oz jeans to compare them to from IH. However, I have a pair of 21 oz Samurai that is softer than these. The 21oz LHT are sanforized so they’re a little more slick and have a different feel than the 19L.

Nice fit!

Nice fit! [emoji106]
Thanks for the kind words!
Box a bit tight, but I’m sure the 21oz will surrender to me in no time.Great bit of documentation. That it always useful and makes this an extra good first post. Thank you.
The fit looks really good. A little snug but as you say that is desirable on a first wear. They’ll look even better when the fabric relaxes.
Shade is a tad darker than picture.

TLC to the tag.
Do forgive the fair pair of feet!
