Restocked in all sizes, including 28 and 29 for first time.

Sizing chart has been updated, as waist coming up approximately 1" larger than tag in all sizes (apart from tag 40 where all stock is from previous production run).

I wore these jeans on my honeymoon in Ireland and climbed Slieve League in them and the khaki IHV-22

These are the most worn pair of my collection at this time - probably around 60ish wears maybe, no wash/soak yet. We spent a lot of time at the top of Slieve League and had to hustle down before it got dark. It also started raining, so I slipped a few times (Mrs. Madmoses thought this HILARIOUS, it was okay, I laughed too). The jeans are about to get their first soak to get the caked mud off - but man they look so cool all muddied up - so I had to grab a few shots! I wore the 1634 the rest of the honeymoon after Slieve League - another great pair.

Guys ,
I am looking into size 38. And the measurements for the waist 39.5. Does OD stretch one inch just like other IH? I read somewhere OD stretch more regular

Can anyone confirm please ?

I am tying to avoid to have 40.5 waist after few weeks.

Thanks in advance

It will stretch the same as normal but there is absolutely no shrink left in it from the OD process.
I think 39.5 is too big for you, @Mustafa911

Nice... Ordered the 14oz in 36...

but at last ended up with the 666S-21od. Great fit and perfect for my needs !
Thx IHUK !!!

[theorocks]

Any news on restock ? I might be able to pull off the 33 but would prefer to play it safe with a 34

Curious how soft these are… I've got two pairs of 21oz 666 (one regular 21, one 21L) which are both nice and soft. I also have an overdyed IHSH-178, and it's pretty damn stout/creaky. I know it's different denim, but does the overdying process have as much of a stiffening effect on the 21oz?

[Giles]

No it does not

Cool—cheers, Giles!

The traditional 21oz I already very soft, becoming more so with wear and the OD'ing only accelerates that. The denim the IHSH-178 is made of starts off very stout, the OD'ing isn't the reason for that.

[popvulture]

Ahh, gotcha. I've got a pair of the 666s 18oz raw, and though they're definitely not as soft as the 21oz, they're still moderately forgiving. I think I assumed that the OD started out as that denim before the overdye process, but I guess that could be a totally different 18oz?

Regardless, happy to know that the 21oz OD fabric is soft, just wanted to explain my faulty logic haha. I really like my IHSH-178 but having a jean in that fabric might go beyond my personal threshold

There have been two 18oz. The now extinct OG version that was originally first used on the first ever 666 iteration (IH-666S) and the new 18oz vintage style. I believe that is the what the IHSH-178 is made from.

I’m wearing my new pair of IH-888s-od made from 21oz now for the third time and it really is soft, thick and supple. Great stuff.

[Giles]

Nope, the IHSH-177 and 178 are made from the OG 18oz.  We have just used the final meterage of that denim on the current production runs of the IHSH-177 and 178.  On the basis that they will sell fast, they always do, we are sampling both CPO's in the 18oz vintage denim.

So Neph, you were before your time

That makes more sense as the vintage 18oz is a lot more forgiving than the og version.  It also makes me getting my hands on a 178 even more of a prerogative.
