IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[CLJ]

The thigh measurements on these and the 666S restock are more slim than I expected. I'm looking forward to seeing some fit pics!

[Seul]

CLJ: lend me the money and I'll give you 100 fit pics by the end of the week  ::)

[Finn666]

already looking forward to Giles's fitpics!…

@Finn666:

w36=12.6" thigh
w38=13.5" thigh

…that's almost 1 inch difference while all the other measurements differ like 0.3" give or take!
not working for me then!

I'll get Matt to double check tomorrow.  Thx Finn….G

[Anesthetist]

Can't wait. These will be mine!
Edited to add: Are these the same hue of blue as my 15 oz TW LHT BB? Sorry if this has been addressed, but I didn't see it.
Thanks.

[Giles]

They are darker and greyer, that may be because they are raw.  Winchy and I will be shrink-testing a size 33 today, that'll also give us an idea of what the one-wash hue is….

[Seul]

Should you have no use for that 33" afterwards…

We have double checked.  38 is actually 13.2".  We have updated the sizing tables above.  Thx for the spot Finn

[Winchy]

Yeah sorry, my bad.

Why do you think I chose 33? 

[Seul]

Figured you lost weight…

These measurements look like post soak 666S measurements. Some consistency would be nice.

@Winchy:

Yeah sorry, my bad.

They are pre soak measurements.

Obviously, that's why they look a bit small.  Was hoping for something similar to the 1st Run 666S (presoak). I can't fuck with 12.6", that shrinks to 12.0"-12.3" (in the thigh).

[MikeC]

My point is that it shouldn't be happening as much as it does.  I know it took a while for these to be produced, but when sizing gets fucked up, it looks like the production was rushed with poor quality control.  The IHxB01xRAW and now the 666S, both came out with incorrect sizing (per the first runs, that everyone loved).  It's just disappointing.

[Giles]

Next time I see Haraki and Tom I'll point it out to them.  My view is that if, with over 40 years of pattern making and jeans making experience between them, even they can't hit the bulls eye every time, it is probably a bit more complex than you or I think.

Actually, I could talk for hours about why stuff like this happens - and trust me you would be fascinated, but quite frankly when our quality, our diligence and expertise is called into question, I just can't be bothered.

DAMN IT…. 13.5 looked alot better to me

[Giles]

There may be a pair with 13.8 hence the discrepancy….
