      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.

        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.

        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.

        God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

          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.

              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?

                @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.

                      @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.

                                  I'm wondering if you guys could help me out. I already emailed ironheart customer service but I'm waiting for a reply due to the time change and figured I would reach out to the forum and see what everyone else thought too. I'm looking at the 21 oz 666 because I feel like they're the closest to my favorite jeans after I measured them. But the problem is, I can't decide if I should size down because I know they're going to stretch out but then how much can I expect them to shrink after the first and second washes. I'm hoping someone with a little more experience can help me out. These are the measurements of a great fitting pair of jeans for me. These are only 14 oz jeans so I know that is a little different. I do have some 21 oz in another brand. I don't love the cut though.. it's not my first rodeo with sanforized denim, but is my first sanforized and once washed.

                                  34.5 waist
                                  8in leg opening
                                  10.5 front rise
                                  15ish back rise
                                  12in thigh
                                  8.75 knee
                                  30 Inseam probably go 31 for shrinkage

                                  I'm pretty used to doing the trial and error thing, but this is a pretty expensive hobby to be messing around too much. I appreciate any input

                                  Edit;
                                  I usually wear for about 3 months before a first wash then every 2-3 months after for a 1 wash. If it's just sanforized, I do an initial hot soak.

                                    @worsethanyou I'll chime in. The measurements you posted seem to put you in a size 34 almost exactly and with that said, I would not suggest sizing down.

                                    I'm sure some people have sized down in the 666 cut with success but what we have seen is that most people find theres too little room in the top block of the 666 cut if you size down.

                                    The 21oz denim is forgiving so you'll get some stretch but they aren't going to stretch a crazy amount like some denim does and as far as shrinkage, it's not a ton. I'd say potentially some shrinkage back closer to original waist measurement but then they'll stretch right back with ease. As long as you're doing cold wash/air dry that is.

                                    Hopefully that helps.

                                      Is 34.5 how your favorite jeans measure before or after youve worn them for 3 months. If it’s after, I’d size down and ask the crew for the largest 33 they have in stock. If it’s before then the 34 should work just fine as mentioned above.

                                          the measurements I posted are a pair of jeans that are about a year old and have been soaked once and washed a couple times. Hang dried. ... If that helps.

                                            Keep an eye on the thigh measurement. While the waist can stretch an inch easily when put under tension, the thighs really won't give up more than .25" or so unless you are super brutal to them with a floor jack or something.
