IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[PSB]

I haven't posted in quite some time, but I had to laugh today. I soaked my work pair of 666XHS last night and forgot how stiff these bastards get when they see water.

@tailoredfamcam:

Since I rarely see larger guys in these threads, I decided to pick up some of these in a size 40. I have the IH-634S in a tag size 44 that were cut small, actually 42 actual size, and the fit is nice but I wanted a slimmer fit. Big guy in a slim jean!? Yeah… I know. They came in today and I had a hell of a time getting that top button, but I got it.

They look good@tailoredfamcam! @madmonday says it best.

What happened to the arcuate?

The backside

[jdl1279]

Beautiful contrast! Wish I could get mine there, but the oils I work with necessitate semi regular washing (they smell quite strongly otherwise)

[Haddtoo 555]

These are washed a lot too….wear them like you don't care 

[jdl1279]

Believe me, they are getting abused. I can't stand to be in them after about a month due to the odor. So I'm sure others are catching whiffs much sooner

[Haddtoo 555]

It shows…wish mine still looked like yours...mine feel a bit beat..not really my style... I find it hard to pair them with a shirt there so beat

[jdl1279]

Mine are changing quite noticeably month to month since I began actually working in them. They even look a bit more beat in than my last shots. To me yours have that well lived in look that kinda screams 'f#@k you, it's my day off!' Of course I don't see a lot of those, so may be the appeal.

@madmonday, @davito, @Haddtoo 555, @steelworker, thanks gents!  The more I wear these, the more I like them.  Only a total of about 4 wears, but the waist has stretched to about a 42 and the thighs are stretching nicely.  At first I could barely get my hands in, now I can with minor trouble.  I need to get back to wearing my 634S!

[jdl1279]

Crap phone pics at night (sigh) None the less, the true colors are odd mixes of greys, white, electric blue and deep indigo. Very interesting contrasts brought on by my working in these.

@jdl1279 looking good !

[pillowPANTS]

Couple pics of mine. Had them for 2.5yrs i think. Only worn during winter

[Haddtoo 555]

Those look GOOD!  @pillowPANTS

[pillowPANTS]

Thx man! Especially commin from you lol. Ive gotta bring em outside one day and take some pics.

[Haddtoo 555]

Really love the high contrast slowwww fade….every pair that doesn't go to work on me will look as good as yours someday....post them up when you get them outside

[jdl1279]

A bit better light today. Really love this denim and the way it develops

Gents I'm going back and forth between 35 or 36 for a size. How are people seeing waist stretch after a longer period of time? I like the larger thigh on the 36's but if it stretches 2" they will be too large.

[Giles]

In my opinion, you could see 2" but only if it was subject to loads of pressure.  If there is not a lot of pressure then they won't stretch as much, I would guess around 1"

I've had mine for about 6 months and am a casual wearer (2-3x per week). No heavy abuse and I've got just under an inch.
