IH-666-LB - Devil's Fit Loom Breakers….

[Jim1077]

Just pulled the trigger on these, going to wear them while working on a ship in the oil field of the gulf of mexico all spring/summer.

Seriously contemplating these although I don't really need another pair…

Sizing question if I may, G:
I wear a 30 in the 666UHR (shrank to the max originally) and the fit is now 'fitted but comfy'- not too tight in the top block but not dropping in the back/butt or sides either. I could do a slightly tighter fit (better slightly tighter than slightly larger vs my UHR I reckon),  would you say I can pull off a 29 in these? (I'm middle of the road regarding tolerance to gonads squeeze)
Thank you!

Stuck record, stuck record…..

What do you jeans currently measure in the waist, measured the way we measure?"

[zatenm]

29" (14.5x2). Leads me to think 29 would work indeed, correct?
Sorry for being a stuck record, not every day I buy a pair and 666's can be a bit tricky

Dear bastards gentlemen who purchased the size 36, if they don;t work out please drop me a PM, love Mega.

[Giles]

No, it was me being a stuck record…..

I say this a lot...

"What do you jeans currently measure in the waist, measured the way we measure?"

The tag 29 measure 29.5. they will stretch a little.  So they start larger and will end up even larger than your UHR's...

Got you! Thanks for the transparent and quick answer [emoji106]

[babyknight]

copped… like the idea of trying something different and limited!

So I went for 666-LB W30 (as I did for 666sod and 666s-19L). According to measures, they seem wider of the other 666, but dukcs are ducks, and I don't want they end up breaking even my balls…
634-LB W29 seem too big for me. I'll wait for 634-DD.

In 666 thigh is important. And all my ducks did a great passive resistance to the stretching.

Gerogeel speaks the truth, my 666D never stretched at all in the waist.

[Jordonf9]

Wednesday I will see how they fit. I know my measurements, they will be a bit snug on my wait and maybe my thighs… Can't wait to find out.

These will be a great summer jean, these and my 3sixteens.

[zatenm]

Appreciate the tip @georgeel [emoji4] I hear you about the thigh, I think I can pull it off but the waist is larger than my UHR and that is already on the edge for me.
I'm getting this denim albeit in the 816 form & non-selvage - they might very well become my daily beaters, I'm a huge fan of the 816 cut [emoji5]️

That'd be awesome. Is the general consensus that these will be a good bit cooler than the standard 21oz? I had some IH-817 that weren't exactly cool, so I guess we'll find out.

[superfuzz]

I would disagree that these would be good for the summer. I find my 666D to be pretty warm, the duck does not breathe like the 21oz denim. That's just my experience tho.

[Jordonf9]

Yea, we will see. 16.5 oz but tighter weave. Another month the weather will warm up more.

[Occupant]

My 666D were quite snug in the beginning and they've stretched at least 3/4", possibly more like a full inch. I imagine they wouldn't have stretched as much if they hadn't been so small to begin with. I second them not being that breathable though.

I wore my 2634 (paraffin coated 22oz ducks!) in high summer and they were breathing a lot. I suppose …

I don't know what H made to 817's denim. The result is that they seem bulletproof. However, having the patience to wear them, I assure you that in time, they become soft and fresh enough. Sort of…

Considering the evolution of these LB ducks, I think they are more & more willing to release their indigo then 817. And, after a few months, more soft and fresh as they fade. This is what I hope.
