Random questions to which you seek an answer

I looked here as well as elsewhere, and am not finding the specific info I seek. As a newbie I lucked out finding a perfect pair out of the gate, the 666 is exactly my  preferred cut. Thighs aren't too big for my lanky frame, while the hem still works to get over my boots, the rise even sits spot on where I prefer. Let's assume this is the only pair of pants I own that fit me. Let's also assume that in a month or so I plan to remedy the problem. Given I am getting familiar with IH/TW and have scoped this brand for what I want, given the fit parameters, what else would others suggest? I am looking for real variety, maybe a all American, something black(I like seperate weft and warp color), possibly a chino, I am pretty much a blank slate. I want to stay over 14oz in denim, and keep within the cut, but don't have many other barriers. Also if there is anything to avoid I want to hear it and why as well.

I have no experience with them…
But i feel like some Devils Ducks are in order!

If 666 is your fit, you are in luck because there are a lot of variations of that cut. I'd explore versions of different weight and color. You can go 19 oz, 21, 25, and soon 21/23. You can also go indigo or superblack.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, and the ducks and a couple other IH/TW items are on the list. However, what I am looking for is similar cuts outside of IH/TW. Similar quality and cut, but on the lighter side, chino, denim, black, indigo, whatever.

Still looking for suggestions, remember summer weight. If the 666L wasn't extinct I likely would skip this, but that's the dues you pay when you're late to the party.

With a name like this, he has to be in Minneapolis. North Star impllies MN and 612 is our area code. Let me know if I can somehow help.

Thanks to those that helped with the above questions, but after weighing everything, I think the TW666N will work better than anything else I'm seeing. Should make G happy when I get there, as it now makes the planned purchase 4 deep.

Mclain it's a reference to the funniest sale thread ever on this site:

HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT I wish I hadn't missed that one. I'd have asked to see them in person since it's so clear where he lives, would have loved to meet this guy, look at the goods, and then ask how much for shipping….

[Giles]

Furatto, Thank you so much for reminding me of that, had a great laugh - again…..

McLain, Thanks for the help

Quick question but what is the point of a soak in the middle of the life of your jeans, and what is the difference b/w hot and cold soak?

[Giles]

It's going to clean them a bit.  To my mind, better than nothing but not as good as proper wash….

[Snowy]

hot soak will get you more shrinkage than a cold, from personal experience.
