Damn, @Alex will be asking for commission…...

Today. Premier for my 666SII.
Lovely pair.
Pictures did not turn out so good.
But you do get the general fit.

[Jordan23]

Perfect fit!

Enjoy ya addiction!

^ Gotta agree.  Great fit.  Congrats.

3rd day with my 666Sii.
Creases are getting more defined.
I love how dark they are.
Will be hard to decide what pair I will use in the DWC.

Changed brightness on the pictures.

Nizzel use this pair for WDC. And see how they turn out at the end of WDC.

[nizzel55]

I would love to @twin .
But I want to do the same with my 666UHR.
At the moment I am leaning towards the UHR.

I should have a second pair of legs.

A colleague  of mine is going to use the 666Sii so I will see how they change over time as well.
Therefore going with the UHR will give me the opportunity to follow two different jeans even though one of them is not being worn by me.
It would of course be cool to see the difference between our pairs if I wore my 666Sii.

Nice fit @nizzel55 .  I will be getting my pair in a couple of weeks.  Did you lose about an inch in the waist and inseam with the soak?

[nizzel55]

I forgot to measure them after the soak. But it felt as if they did not shrink much. I can measure them tonight. Been wearing them for 3 days now so they will have stretched some I guess.

Yes about an inch in the waist and an inch of inseam lost after a hot soak. The waist stretches back pretty fast. This denim fades high contrast very fast. Amazing bright blue under the deep dark indigo.

Do you guys think getting .2- .3"out of the thigh/knee/hem is gonna be pretty easy?

[pillowPANTS]

I wanna buy a pair but need atleast .2" shrink through the whole leg. Im "guessing" that they will but…...One of you guys must have taken pre/post measurements

@nizzel55
I (once again) would have tried to talk you into one size down….in all likelihood. Enjoy!

I hot soaked in the fucking scalding water my tub can generate probably for an hour or so. The waist came down from 34.5 to damn near my 33 size. The length came down from 31.5 to probably 30.5.
This is the 634 model FWIW

[pillowPANTS]

That doesnt answer my question MCL lol

[nizzel55]

@501/IH it might have been possible to squeeze into a 31. But this time you cannot talk me into sizing down. I am quite happy with the fit on these. Not super tight around the thighs and legs. But quite tight around the waist.
I have lost some weight since Christmas due to sickness and I guess stress   I am down from 80 to 76kg.
Looking forward to seeing these fade.

[501IH]

Thanks for the reply, Nizzel! I will try and follow suit somewhat as far as the weight loss is concerned. Ideally while staying healthy…

It actually kind of does, (34.5-33)/34.5 = ~4% shrinkage on the denim horizontally

[pillowPANTS]

Did you happen to measure the legs pre and post soak? Would be much easier no?
