Considering a used pair of 25oz 666’s.
They have been washed several times and while it’s not what i would ever do, I’m curious what the groups collective experience has been with this denim when washed a bit.

Does it not fade anymore AT ALL??
Essentially, what would i be in for?
Denim looks not broken in. Would it always be that way because it doesn’t that crunchy break in period?

Thanks for all help?

They will continue to fade. They might not continue to stretch depending on the relative size of you vs previous owner but they will continue to break to the way you wear them

6 or so months on these now, and loving them so far. My first go with 25oz. Wore the UHR’s for a year last go, and doing the same with these. They’ve become pretty comfy! Also loving my IH-526J-142ib. It’s become the jacket I grab the most through spring & summer. But doesn’t get a ton of wear in the American South. Just when it’s too damn cold in the office!

Early 2024 (January-ish) pair, lots of washes

@MQR Checked your progression from instagram. I think this is good example for @worn2fade . Feels like almost nothing happening for first 6 months, then all the sudden indigo just starts falling off.

Now they are looking so good, amazing work.

We need more of these!

@Galena418 we have recently initiated a new production run of these, expected first half of 2027

@LittleRockRaw They are looking good.

Great news! I’ve been looking forward to getting a pair of 666-XHS.

I’m 177 cm tall and currently weigh around 72–73 kg. I’m considering W32 or W33 for the upcoming production run.

For reference, here are the measurements of some jeans I currently own (all measurements in cm):

Jeans Waist (Flat / Stretched) Thigh Front Rise Fit
Samurai S511 Snake W34 40.5 / 43 31 26.5 Slim tapered, very comfortable
Samurai Dragon W33 40.5 / 42.5 30 26.5 Slim straight, excellent fit
Iron Heart 634 21oz 41 / 43.5 31.5 27.5 Relaxed and roomy
Evisu 2000T W35 39 / 40.5 29 26 Slim tapered, comfortable
LVC 501Z 38.5 / 40 29 28.5 Slim fit, comfortable

My Samurai Dragon is probably the closest to the fit I’m looking for. I prefer a clean, slim-straight silhouette without the thighs feeling too tight.

I have two questions:

1. Is the upcoming batch expected to have similar measurements to the previous production run, particularly around the waist and thighs?
2. Based on my measurements and fit preferences, would you recommend W32 or W33?

I understand that exact measurements may not be available until the new batch arrives. I’d really appreciate any general sizing advice in the meantime.

Thanks in advance!

1. No idea until we get them here and measure them.
2. You have already done all the work. Wait until the new run is measured and updated, then compare those measurements with the Samurai Dragons, taking into account the shrink/stretch details posted on the web page:

Thanks, Giles! Really appreciate the detailed explanation. I'll wait for the updated measurements and compare them with my Samurai Dragons, taking the shrinkage and stretch into account. Thanks again!
