@Ross the tag size 29 totally sold out in less than an hour? I wasn’t available for the release and checked about 15 mins later and it looked like the size 28 & 29 weren’t released yet - not showing sold out, but also not showing available. Checked again about 30 mins later and size 29 sold out. Is this accurate? Wanted to pick up a pair and seldom does this size sell out so quickly.
No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

For me these are perfect for engineers.
-
@John-Galt the last 29 sold before the restock, suggesting we had enough stock of the 29s when we placed the order that we did not order more as part of the restock
-
@John-Galt yeah, thats likely the case, flip side of that would be that the last pair will have been there for a year or so too..
Japan did not restock on this run, so no 29s showing on the stocklist to order, sorry
-
@Alex yeah - I had inquired of the team a while back regarding the exact overall dimensions of that pair and they wouldn’t work for me due to at least one of the dimensions, so was hoping to get a pair to work from the restock. Fingers crossed that the next restock includes at least a couple pair of tag size 29 and that one of them works out. In the meantime, patience is supposedly bliss - but I tend to disagree. Thanks for responding. John

@ssherman95. 1 inch max typically about 0.5 of an inch
-
@ssherman95 but with the regular stretch through wear, you'll end up where you started, maybe even a little beyond that.

Hi all, new to the forum. I'm Dave from Merseyside. Just like to show a quick fit pic off my 666 xhs. I absolutely love the fit, the denim, everything about Iron heart. Artisan work at its finest..

Is about to turn 6 years old in a couple more months, fitted with Pigeontree indigo belt. 3 washes thus far.

Yeah, considering we just brought a new baby home today and she's only had 2 hrs of sleep since Monday, I'd say she's fair and reasonable. I got here about 10 minutes before the delivery guy.
Or is she cruel… she wouldn't let me see the jeans long enough to get them bottoned. I only managed the top one to make sure they fit, the rest would have required time, beer, a wrench, and possibly a strong friend to manage. Lucky for me I usually have all those things handy on xmas morning anyway. I would imagine Giles cringes every time someone orders a hem on these, I wouldn't want to run them through a rare vintage sewing machine for fear of personal injury and mechanical catastrophe.
I know this one’s really old post (not for me, but I read this all post from the very first?), but we have a same spot. The difference is that I told my wife I got my pair by trading some of my niche perfumes that I bored of to my friend (really happened once)

It’s funny to see this because I haven’t bought a pair of 666 in years but I’ve recently been considering getting a new pair. Thanks for the memories. It been an adventure.
Maybe it’s a sign that you should get one, Matt. Really enjoy reading all the comments in here. And so far this one has the most comment in all series.
-
Btw, is it just my feeling or the pockets are laying a bit too low? I usually wear my pants on my hips. Should I wear it a bit higher?
Really need some advice
-
@Matt noted. Is it just me, or the course of these pair has changed slightly? On earlier comments I saw that these 666 xhs will not shrink due to some soak / wash. And it was suggested as unnecessary. But on the later I found it that people are suggesting to soak / wash first to maximum the shrinkage.
And in your case, if I’m not mistaken, your pair with 34 tagged size has stretch to 36” waist, right? It was pretty big stretch, ain’t it?
-
I wouldn’t say they stretched. I think the tag size n these is typically smaller than the actual waist size. I didn’t personally experience much stretch with mine because they started out bigger. Some pressure in a tighter pair could I guess. Washing def didn’t shrink mine. I do recommend soaking to get all the starch out. These are very rigid and can develop holes in high friction areas like the crotch and cuff folds.
-
@ricardodarmali those look great. I need to get mine off to IH for a crotch repair, I’ve just been procrastinating. I miss wearing them.
