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

[stevesoul]

Shrinkage - do these snug up much in the width, apart from the waist - how muh change is there in the seat and legs?

How much do they actually shrink in length - IH says approx 2", SE says 2.5", and reading Giles' experience, about 1.5"

Thanks.

^^ the measurements differ depending on the method of shrinking,wash/soak/hot/warm..

I've posted in this thread somewhere the measurement of my size 32, after 2 hot soak and 2 boiling soak…i think the shrinkage is probably much done.. maybe you wanna check that one out for reference...

EDIT: here's the measurement size 32:

Waist:  31.5"
Thigh : 11.4"
Hem : 7.8"
Inseam : new at 36" --> current at 34.6"

these are questions you can answer when we see the pre-soak fitpics.

if they fit loose pre-soak you easily can hotsoak them for a half an hour.
if they do fit slim pre-soak, i would say do a coldsoak or exchange

Hey guys,

i've been wearing and owning my 666 for about 6 months. Now I need it to be repaired, because the crotch seam ripped and I think that I shouldn't wait any longer as it gets worse. The problem is that most tailors are pretty particular about denim that hasn't bern washed for half a year. Would a soak be too bad?

[madmonday]

er, yes.

please soak, wash or something your jeans before giving them to some poor soul to repair.

the jeans will be just fine

[Chruschtschow]

thanks monday.

I got my 666 the other day and I'm not sure what do soak/stretch wise.  At the moment I can't do up all the buttons but I'm sure I will be ok after they have loosened up a bit as the same situation happened with my 634sr.

Should I hot soak or cold soak them before wearing them?  Will a hot soak shrink them and I wont be able to get them on at all?

Sounds like you answered your own question…

Will a cold soak do anything?  I'm hoping it will soften them a bit.
