IH-666S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Was going to suggest/ask the same thing as tody above. Other than a pocket knife removing everything from pockets can be a big help.
Also I've had some limited success with going a size up in 666 to fit a bit like something half way to a 634 with a higher rise. At 25 days you'll have probably stretched these to where they'll settle. Know that they can tighten back up depending on how you wash and dry in case it's really snug now.

@j3butch1 I know what you mean regarding the 666. In my experience sizing up in the 666 is one way around it, or going with a different cut. Personally I typically prefer the 777 or 555, neither of which feel constricting in my experience. (Keep in mind body shapes vary wildly. Looking at the pictures I'd say we're not that far off though).
You could go for the 888, but personally I find that cut to be a little too generous in the thigh/crotch/rear area. (I sold a pair of 888-XHS for that reason). 777 or 555 seem to be just right for me, or the 634 if you want a straighter/less tapered fit.
As always, hard to make recommendations when we all vary in both body shape and how we like our jeans to fit/feel.

@goosehd thx for the reply. I'm good w the weight of them but simple tasks like getting on my towny bike are about impossible in these! I'm thinking I need to try 888's or something w a higher rise and more room in the mid section.

@Davids_denim man I love the fades you have going here. Proves how awesome the 21 OG fades when you put the time in. I have a pair of these that have been my “clean” pair but seeing yours makes me want to put them in the proper rotation. Keep us posted after you wash

Thanks! I absolutely will do.

We have put the 21oz indigo in the core cuts into production, however to soon into the process to have a rough time frame but fingers crossed it will be by the end of the year.

@Oaktavia Thanks man, the shades of indigo the 21oz produces is so good especially when you let it go with out a wash for a while. Yeah, I’ll send them back to IH for repair in Aug for sure.
