IH-666-LB - Devil's Fit Loom Breakers….
-
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!In 666 thigh is important. And all my ducks did a great passive resistance to the stretching.
-
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.

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]️ -
Yea, we will see. 16.5 oz but tighter weave. Another month the weather will warm up more.
-
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.
I wore my 2634 (paraffin coated 22oz ducks!) in high summer and they were breathing a lot. I suppose …

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.
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.

Breaking them in. They actually fit spot on in the waist. I thought I was more of a 37-37.5" but 36.5" is NICE! Thighs aren't tight on me, just restrict a little movement, depending on movement ha.
-
Just a fit question. In have the 555-01 In tag size 36. The 555 needed a bit of stretching, but they fit me very nicely now. I see both pairs share a 36.5 waist Mx.
Will these work for me?
Any insight would be appreciated.
-
I looked real quick at measurements, if the 555 these are so close in sizing in 36…wasit, thigh, rise.
-
Looking forward to the fit pics @georgeel - I will be getting my pair of the LBs next week.

OK. Worn them not completely dry, I took them for a bike ride of about 10 km.
IH never done anything like these. Not-Denim is hard stuff, very difficult to handle. Near impossible to button up, turn them for washing is tiring. 666-LB bleed indigo in a massive way (my hands are still completely stained!). But after a few hours of break-in, the fabric relaxes and all feeling of constriction disappear. And they show first signs of fading in the whiskers. It's true, I swear.
