        I recently bought a pair of IH-666S from Self Edge online. I got the size 38 as I asked around regarding my measurements and this size was supposed to be ideal. After two 60 minute hot water soaks, they're still a little roomy. When measured across the waist, as shown on this forum, there's about a half inch more than I need.

        Any recommendations on what to do to make them fit better? Taloring? A hotter hot soak? I'd rather not sell them if they can be saved. They're such beautiful jeans.

              but as long as theyre not falling down and the fit elsewhere is fine, is it really a problem? most of my jeans are a little loose in the waist. a hot wash usually tightens things up though; the added agitation makes em shrink more than just a soak.

                They do stay up, just sit a lower than I'd like. When I belt them, I can feel the waistband bunch up a little in the back.

                    Yeah, and then I got an empty box with a note from US Customs…

                        did a hot wash and hang dry and they fit perfectly. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

                              Guys,

                              This is my first post… 🙂 I've set my heart on a pair of 666XHSs, but there is a problem as there's no stockist (AFAIK. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.) in Melbourne.

                              I'm size 29 in Nudie Grim Tim Selvedge with some room to move in the waist. I'm saying this in hope that someone would be able to suggest the right size in IH for me to get based on that info... Should I go 28? Should I go 29?

                              Many thanks!

                                        Perth people are a fiercely patriotic bunch. By all accounts it's a nice place, but so damn far away. From here (Sydney) to Perth is about the same distance as Gosport to Cairo!

                                            • Not a heavyweight, loop wheeled monster thing or I would have picked up a Jelado. Weight needs to be viable for summer evenings and autumn layering.

                                            • Price max is $150 (£100)

                                            • Colour preference is dark grey, black or navy blue.

                                            • I've check Flint and Tinder, they don't have my size in the colours I want.

                                            Help me out guys.
