IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
You can stretch thighs by getting the jeans soaked and then jamming towels down into the leg holes just progressively working them in a little more at a time allowing it to stretch. I've done it with thighs and leg openings. Just take your time. Also, it's probably best to never wash if you do this cause it's a real pain to try to get it back exactly how it was

Joining the ranks soon as I am closing a trade to get a pair of 666S. My first IH venture in non-signature denim bottoms. Looking foward to posting some fit pics.

Just when you thought a fit pic couldn't get any worse! Sorry I don't have a mirror and the only other guy home with me today is 2. Got my lightly used 666s today. Fit better than I had expected. The waist is a hair loose and thigh a tad snug at the top, but I'd say on the whole a very comfortable fit. Fabric is interesting too coming from the signature denim. Much less muffin top and plumbers surprise than 301s. Might try a soak to tighten the waist up a tad.

I think that a straight cut with a tapered waist will suit you a lot better. Large waists and tight thighs feel horrible to me and I've been stoked ever since I found what works… Good luck!

Justin, that's too tight imo. Better go 1 size up

I'm going to stick with them, I can promise they are more comfortable than they may look, esp with me hunched over attempting to take my own pic. One size up would fall off. Having said that I'm wondering if BB might be the perfect cut for me..
Edit - hot soak cleared up the waist issue. Thinking thigh will loosen up and even if it's minimal, I'm more than happy with the pair. Also first washing machine soak and no disasters, patting myself on the back.

^i had same issue do not worry the thigh will stretch. 666s is my best fitting jeans and when I got them my thighs looked like stuffed sausages

Hey guys, I have been hanging on to my devil's, as no one has shown any interest in buying. And I'm sure glad I did. Recently have been playing soccer, and some running and have been able to fill out the devil's a bit better
Also wearing IHSH-86
Sorry about the silly pose, promptly soaked with rain afterwards.

Post ice cream, chilling in my 666s.
22 months old and lots of wear.

hello world!
Having read these posts for a long time it's time I venture in to share my experience.
I have a pair of IH-666S 32w that I purchased on 4/16/13 here in san francisco. After one cold soak 3 months in, and one warm soak just before the first crotch repair at self edge, I think there is still more breaking in to do.
My current infatuation with these pants is still very strong, and I have taken them with me to India a few times (the humidity really helped the fades) china and all over the US, it still seems my fades don't have as much contrast as some of the (beautiful) pics I see on this forum. What are your secrets?? I would love more contrast…but I know I will have to work for it...
I also feel they are a bit long for me (i'm only 5'8") but I simply can't bear to be without them to have them hemmed, and like some other posts, I am afraid I will regret hemming them.
From a fit perspective, they are loose in the waist (I wear a belt most of the time) and tight in the thighs. In SF it's also less tight around the cuff area that most of the other "kids" but given it's a more adult fit and I'm an adult, I guess it will stay in style for longer...
Anyway - re-reading the threads here makes me want to sleep in mine (again) ...lol

Hello 666fanSF!
Would be nice to see some pictures of your pair.
I work as a verification engineer and spend most of my workday in a chair sitting in front of a computer. I commute to work by car.
I live in the souther part of Sweden. The climate is quite mild no extreme temperature in any season.I do however have two kids who brings me down on my knees a lot. For instance when helping them putting on clothes and putting on lotion or sun block on and so on.
My fades are perhaps not spectacular but I am very pleased with my pair and I am really looking forward seeing them evolve.

Thanks very much - yes I also have a "desk job" but try to wear these as much as possible and i love them. As you can see there are some nice fades happening at the top but looking through this forum I feel that I'm way behind. Perhaps wearing them in the ocean, or rolling around in dirt or something would help, if i wash them in the machine would that improve the contrast of the fades? Would love to know your thoughts!
