IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[richiealexander]

hi usually im wearing the flat head f310 in tag size 29. i've already tried ih 666s in size 29 and 30. in size 29 i really can't button all of them. but in size 30 i can button it, but it take 2 fingers in front of my stomach, so its bring some space. which one is better? take 29 or 30? consider this is an unsanfor denim..

pre- or post-soak?

if its pre-, go with the 30. If it shrinks ~1" and that is too much, wear them around while slightly damp to get the waist where you want it.

Expect about 1 inch of shrinkage in waist and 2.5 inches in the leg.

So: 30. Assuming you tried them on in a store, thus pre-soak…

agreed. sloppy is the word i was trying to describe but couldn't put my head to it. this makes you look neat/smart or whatever but i just prefer this look more than you in the beatle buster.

G, would you say these fit bigger than FH 3009 in the same size?

[Guest]

Sorry I know you asked Giles, ill just tell you I have both. 3009, much fuller cut, esspesially the thighs. I had both in 34

[Guest]

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

How about the top block? Essentially I'm interested in knowing which pair has more give post soak. And I find that the size charts provided by Flat Head jeans are almost entirely off–it's ridiculous. (Pre soak measurement for 34s was 15.7 compared to the 35 advertised on, say, SE.)

not G here PJ, FH3009 is therotically same cut as IH634, devils fit is slimmer. Have both like nerkg but do not wear the fh that much and they are in the Office for backup so not able to do a direct comparison right now. Overall the devils are superslim where 3009 are straight leg with bit of taper knee down.

[Guest]

3009 don't give well. My 34 post soak was 31 3/4, after a month it hardly stretched at all, so I got a 36 soaked in near boiling water, waist is 33 1/2, a little relaxed fit but a welcome change..

[Giles]

The 3009 is a 1966 cut, so similar to the 634S, the 666 is a slimmer cut.

[Guest]

Thanks, nerkg; that was more along the lines of what I was looking for. I was directing the question at G initially because I know that he, at times, carries Flat Head stock, so I was hoping I could get an idea of how both styles compare pre-soak. (i.e. if my 34 3009 has a pre-soak measurement of 15.7" in the waist, what does a 666s cut measure pre-soak–in reality, not just based on a universal chart--and is the denim more giving than the 3009 post soak.)
