IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[davito]

I would count a reserve of approx 1 inch in or give em a wash with full spin to get all shrinkage out before the hem, imho

Hi theding,

here are my measurements pre and postwash at 30° C.

IH-666L W33

Pre   Post

Waist 16.33  16.14

FR 11.14  10.62

BR 16.65  15.35

Thigh 12.44  11.96

Knee 9.25    8.97

Inseam 38.77  37.40

LO 8.89    8.58

@theding:

A quick question: I need to get mine hemmed and now have a very good idea of the length I want based on my 634s. The 666Ls have had one soak, no washes and limited wear. Am I safe to go ahead and hem now or should I expect further shrinkage/changes in the way they fit with further wear and washes?

[theding]

Thanks guys, sounds like I should at least wash them. Seren, did you do a spin cycle?

[seren]

Yes I did. But only 400 rpm.

Yes I did. But only 400 rpm.

Thanks

I've seen that calico before and I can't recall where…

The whole back row looks like sugarcane tags or mr freedom, I'd take a hint @ 1 of the other.

Nice window makeup! Obbi, IH, SC, MFSC.

[davito]

Calico should be post overalls, left above MF sportsman shirt Hickory right above should be MF ranchero calico and vest from Viva la revolucion.

The devils patch is really really nice

[Snowy]

^and this is why you're da man, nice one mate (hopefully no cheating by checking out in person xox )

[mclaincausey]

You're exactly goddamn right. Now that I hear it the memory is jogged.  Well done man!

And btw it's a nice calico hence it nearly surviving the Swiss cheese of my brain.

[Bluegrass]

wow davito, i am impressed!

[tatmantall]

I think a 634 cut in this denim would make my head explode.

[mclaincausey]

Heh I just noticed there's a Post label on the calico

[davito]

Haha guys no no cheating, yeah post overalls is a label on it hehe my elder eyes worked fine

Hmmm that devils Hand is my size

Tat this Devil cut would be nice for you, no?

[tatmantall]

I've considered it very strongly but the thigh is going to be cutting it REAL close. I'd be interested to hear personal experience with the stretch in that area on this denim of anyone has had any.

[tatmantall]

Davito got me thinking…. I wish there was a damn store like VMC or something close where I could try these on. MIDWEST USA blows.

Does anyone have a post soak measurement on a size 30 they would mind sharing?

[Giles]

I know it is not the real solution, but when Shoque implements UPS Returns, shipping stuff back to us will be very reasonable…

[tatmantall]

Definetly considering this idea. Thanks giles. Hopefully some measurements will be posted to push me over.

[theding]

If it helps; I have always struggled to find a good fit due to fairly big thighs vs my waist. The 634 cut is perfect but I still find the 666L very comfortable despite limited wear and so no real stretch so far.
