IH-666S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Slim Cut (The Devil's Fit)

[Raymond]

Thanks guys, will let them stack until the denim settle down. The denim is so stiff and my fingers hurts when i'm trying to button all of them for the 1st time but it is getting easier to button now. Just need to wait for the waist to expand abit more and it will be good to go.

Day 5 with the Lefty Devils, and because I got caught in a truly horrendous rain shower this morning - some evo :). A very small amount on the right hand set of whiskers…

Also a lot of indigo transfer to my thighs :(.

Pics tomorrow.

Too busy chatting and fondling TFH flannels to ask Danny to take a few photos.

Much stretch on these? I want to stay with a 33 because I like the measurements, but the slightly smaller waist is making me think 34.

[Morose_Penguin]

I went tts with a 30w, after I first tried them on I felt that a 31w would have been a lot easier. But now they are very comfortable. Outside of the 21oz I don't think any IH jean has become so comfortable, so fast. I think they've stretched around 0.2-0.4" already. And although I've done a lot of walking in the past few days, there has also been a lot of sitting down.

Reallyyy?? Thought you said you weren't getting them.

Knew it.

[derivative666]

Damn you! Stop quoting me! I'm weak dammnit I'm weak!

[Morose_Penguin]

The next run should be December, according to Zhivago, who asked Giles…

[Giles]

Yep

I know no one really knows how these will turn out. But what is everyone's thoughts on these compared to the 18oz ?  I know absolutely nothing about left hand twill besides it is smoother and lighter in color. But these do not look like either of those. Does left hand twill generally have a lower contrast fade than right hand twill ? I had a pair of 666S for a minute but the thighs were too small and i will have to size up if I decide to go with 18oz again. But the 19L measurements look pretty good for me.

Had to go retrieve my jeans from my office even though I am still technically on vacation. Stealth mode.

Love the fit on these. Soaking them now but here are a few pics presoak.

[mclaincausey]

My guess is that twill makes less of a difference than people think. Yarn properties and gauge, weave tension, how many dips and in what…  My hunch is that these make a bigger difference than the orientation of the serge.

But you hear LHT is flatter, has blurrier, more vertical fades (so I guess less contrasted). My LHT jeans are going to have serious contrast though.

EDIT: Summer those look fanrastic

[JamesMarg]

Awesome fit Summer!
You wear em perfectly.

The third picture highlights just how hairy these mothers are!

[tatmantall]

Those look bad ass man!

[summ3rhays]

I appreciate the kind words. My first pair hemmed short enough to stack rather than cuff. It was unnerving asking for a 32" inseam. I tried to capture how hairy they are, but it's tough with phone pics.

[JamesMarg]

I think i will be going the 32'' inseam on my pending pair of XHS's aswell!
I have my 555-01's hemmed to 33
And they are a bit long

May i ask how tall you are summer?

[Finn666]

def. the best fit so far buddy…what size are these? 36?

[summ3rhays]

Yes they are the 36. Waist is a little large, but a hot soak brought them down a touch.

I'm 6" tall, but have proportionately short legs.

[Seul]

Those look absolutely perfect on you, summ3r!..

[Morose_Penguin]

Some pics, because now I'm only limited by my "skill" rather than having to use my phone…

first touch of evo I noticed on Sunday morning

And one of the patch, because I really like it and I don't think I've posted one yet

And a terrible comparison with my VMCs
