For what it’s worth…
For years before I ever started wearing IH denim, I always thought the 666 was super slim. I think a lot of that had to do with the product pics that I noticed typically featured thinner people.
I’ll try to keep this short, but I’ve had people more than once think I was wearing 634s when I was actually wearing 666’s. I think on certain body types, like myself at 6 feet tall, 220 pounds with a somewhat athletic build, they can look and fit completely different than you might expect. They certainly aren’t too slim for a bigger guy and fit over engineer boots just fine, which is pretty much all I wear. I have one pair of the 25oz XHS indigo in a size 36, but all my other 666s are a 38W.

Which is the proper way to measure my bracelet? I’ve always thought my bracelet was too big, I need to get it sized down a little bit.
Good Art only makes up to 19cm right now, mine measures almost 24cm full length. Am I measuring correctly in the first pic or the second?

@Bobcat-Sig One other thing that, if nothing else,you might find interesting as a fan of Wrangler jeans,is the collaboration that Imogene and Willie are doing with Wrangler. The jeans that they’re putting out are based off of the 10 MWZ jeans.

@landownunder they are legit. I believe it's a one man show and I can't remember the owners name but he was very helpful with my transaction. Super nice guy.

Another vote for the 666. I love it. I'll give that cut a look. The areas that always hamper me are the seat; I have a healthy set of glutes, much to the delight of my wife. Thighs and calves are always thing. Thighs less so now that I'm not skiing 100+ days a winter, but calves can play hell with tapered fits, especially skinny taper.
I'll see if my guys at SE PDX have a few pairs of 666 to try.

I saw those. Super cool! But it sold out almost immediately. It was so popular that some guys managed to make the female cut work for them, to which I tip my cap. That's dedication!
I think my plan now is to snag a pair of Wrangler Blue Bell in black, along with a standard pair of black 13 MWZ. I'll also find a weight in the 634 that I want to try. The 19 oz LHT looks promising, as does some of the lighter weights.
I appreciate all the input. This place is truly great.

@Bobcat-Sig On the Self Edge homepage today I just noticed a colab with 3Sixteen's new boot cut--I didn't know 3sixteen had a new bootcut. Not sure links are allowed in posts here but it's literally on the SE homepage and their new arrivals page. It's their 14oz kibata denim, one in indigo and one in black.
