IH-666Sod - Devil's Fit Overdyed - Super Slim Tapered
-
And about the temperature, here in Italy we have a living hell, with 33 and more degrees.
But 666sod are 18oz: good for summertime, from the IH point of view…
You're right, 18oz is significantly lighter than 21oz, especially in the summer heat. Although, Italy cannot nearly be as wretchedly hot and muggy as it is here in the deep south. So far our temperatures have gone up to around 40C…and it's barely June!
Heat or no Heat, I feel like I have no other option than to wear my Iron Heart's...I refuse to wear shorts (haven't since I was 5 years old), I'm a student and therefore I don't have to wear slacks (so I won't), and anything lighter just doesn't feel right anymore. So...Iron Heart it is.

Hey, to those of you that have already broken in your 666 ODs, how much did the waist stretch?
I have a pair right now where there's room in the waist. I was trying on a lower size at Self Edge and couldn't get the top button over, but i think that was due to the fact that 1) it was pretty hot in there, 2) I needed to take a leak bad, 3) the denim is heavier than what I'm used to.
I'm pretty sure that if I tried hard, i can fit into a lower size, and if they can stretch a decent amount, I will go and exchange for a lower size so if you guys can tell me how much the waist has stretched, that'd be great -
they stretch out quite abit and quite easilt to be honest… if the lower size fits fine everywhere else and the thigh is comfortable then its worth it to change..
i got myself a size 31 and 32, while the 31 fits very good at the waist after stretch, the thigh and hip fit abit too tight since i got chunky thighs.. so i sold the 31, wear the 32 and have to live with a bit loose waist but proper everywhere else...
hope that helps

^I'll second this. It's really a matter of how the thigh feels on these. The waist can stretch out a lot; the thigh less so. I just measured my tagged 34s, they are 17.75 on the aligned waist and 12.25 on the thigh. But also consider, they will shrink back to original measurements when soaked, according to Finn.

Deliberately stayed off this thread so as not to be thrown off course with my current project but thinking which of the 3 pairs in my denim bank am I going to withdraw next. Looks like its got to be my 666s . Really seen what a superb cut this devil's fit is. Hope i'm not wishing i'd got the ods now seeing such great examples of them here but looking at Giles progress think the 18oz reg will more than satisfy.

waist: 28.9 –> 30.0
thigh: 10.5 --> 10.5 -
So I just got these in size 36 in the mail, and the thighs are pretty tight on me…since they r tight right out the box, would i be correct saying after a couple months, the thigh area will not get thaat much looser/more comfortable? For reference, I currently wear a size 36 in 301s with plenty of room, so I am really on the fence about trading the 666s in for size 38 just for more thigh room.

@rmc:

I currently wear a size 36 in 301s with plenty of room, so I am really on the fence about trading the 666s in for size 38 just for more thigh room.I think that's a good idea. Size up one if you want them super-skinny, two if you want a neat slim fit.
I sized up one, 29 –>30 with my 666sod, and still out of the box they were very tight. After a while they stretched one size in the waist, so now they are a perfect slim fit, but still definitely tighter then my pair of 301s (TTS 29), especially in the upper side (from waist to knee).
