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

[Simondo]

I presume the indigo will shrink down to the over dyed measurements with a hot soak?

[Hemi]

Will do Beatle.

I should add that I only soaked my 666S in cold water for 2 hrs and when I tried both pairs on brand new I couldn't button up the BB but they are stretching as I type.

[Simondo]

Screw it ordered a 30 indigo . Collection so far, 29 301s, 30 buster ,30 666s. The 301 and buster fit the same up top stretched to just over 30 perfect for me. Hope I not gona die in the 666s.
I will get pics up of all three when my niece shows me how to post pics ;D. Happy new year y'all .

[Beatle]

you will be perfectly fine. set for life time

Got a 28 Devil's Fit for my girlfriend. Thanks Giles
I have to say this pair really have charaters. The denim ist not like any other Ih denim, it's more crisp and rough. My Gf really loves this kind of denim.

Here are some pre-soaking fit pics.

Warm soaked for 2 hours

Here are some post-soaking pics

Enjoy

fit looks great on her**nice gift, btw

Inseam hemed to 32. It turned out a little during the soaking, but i think i fixed it well ::)

the heming is well done. Thanks Giles
why this turned out, i assume it is related to the unique character of the denim, if u want to hem them, then u should not soak it too long and too hot (think i might soak them too hard). hope this helps. 

[Beatle]

Actually - looks like the first fold wasn't completely folded in…you fixed it pretty nice, though

[Big Eyed Fish]

Thanks Beatle

[Giles]

Beats was correct.  I screwed up.  Sorry…..

[jimmy]

you fixed it really well, looks great.

G to avoid that from ever happening, have the turn long enough so it's doubles back again
stopping before the the new stitching. that way you're still sewing though 3 layers and i find it gives a much pronounced roping too.

@Giles:

Hi Giles! I really don't think it's ur fault. I checked the chainstitching before i soaked them, it was alright, i didn't find anything wrong. Besides it's nothing to me, it's only part of the story of a pair of damn good jeans. Anyway i still think that the better way to hem a pair of jeans which r heavier than 17 oz is to hem them after soaking them if it's possible. As i know the turning out thing happens more often with heavier jeans. At least i heard about this more than 3 times from my friends.

I don't need another pair of IH's but these in the OD intrigue me…

Giles (or anyone else, for that matter) could you expand at all on what makes this denim unique / gives it "so much character?" You stated you asked Haraki to make this denim specifically for this jean; I'm sure you asked for more than just an 18 oz. slubby denim... as a connoisseur of fine things I'm interested to hear how it's different than IH's standard 21 oz. denim.

[Big Eyed Fish]

Jacoavlu! I can't desribe the character in words since english is not the language i grew up speaking and i'm also not a good writer, think i should leave these to Beatle or Giles. But what i can do is showing u the fabulous cotton thread and fiber 

[cowsareforeating]

I, like jacoalvu, do not need another pair of IH jeans (at least im trying to tell myself i dont) but I'd love to try IH slubby. Grr those macro pictures sure tease me. Hope the OD's will be around for a while!

[quesadilla]

pics look great everyone! i ordered a pair sized 31, i normally wear a 30 but i haven't worn jeans this slim before so hopefully they work out. thanks to giles and beats with the help on sizing i trust you guys! will try to post fit pics once i get them. school starts this week so getting these will make the week a lot better…

[LC_Miey]

For the 666SOD, i need a size 32 but im contemplating either size 31 or 32 for 666s..  i want slim fit but not tight..  appreciate everyones help

[Beatle]

I would get them in the same size and soak extra hot..

[Danny RnH]

Does soaking extra hot affect the indigo and fading process?
If .5" is shrunk in the hem will this stretch back to tagged size? I ask as the hem does not get stretched from wear like the waist and thighs.

[Beatle]

nope, no neg. effect on fading. and yes, the hem will not stretch back as much - unless you force it ..
