…assuming that there aren’t 40 other things that are on the list to be rerun. The availability of the looms is still severely strained.

@Shanman11 have you checked other retailers? Depending on where you live that also may be an option

I feel like these fit so much baggier than my other pairs of 666’s. These are a 28 so can’t go down any

@LittleRockRaw this fit is perfect! Just bought some 666 sbg but tempted to grab a pair of these to save for next years invitational

@LittleRockRaw that cut looks great on you dude.

I came hear to say that my 666xhs pair is great for this Chicago weather.

@j6550 especially in this blizzard that just dropped!

[j6550]

@indigo_nico definitely windproof

Hey guys, im new to this and humbly need some friendly knowledgeable advice?

I recently got a new tag32, 666 xhs. At the waist its measuring 33.4 inches the IH way, and i thought i would fit into it. And i have a 888 14oz tag 32, measuring literally the same or now slightly larger given i have stretched it and made it comfortable.

My question is, as im struggling to do up the top 2 buttons with the 666xhs, when do you call it quits to say ok, this just isnt fitting because its too small. Or do you keep persisting? I know people joke about losing fingers and nails (or both), but im worried im going to damage the jeans or do something stupid in the process. So im at a cross roads, i could try to sell this and move on, given its in good condition or do i try and stretch it out?

Also a worry is that this is unsoaked as yet. If this was soaked i kind of think i have no chance. But again im new to 25oz, i have only two 14oz IH jeans to compare this to so if anyone would help that would be great! Are you supposed to relatively easily button up?

[Jord]

@cyclops No, they're not easy to button at all... But it gets easier if you persist. How comfortable are they when they are actually buttoned? That should be your indicator, if you can slide two fingers in the waist band when they're on that's normally my sweet spot, I'd rather be comfortable and have slightly more room especially in the 25oz, though.

@Jord thanks hmmm i havent been able to button at all i have used a shoelace to like help wrench/pull it closer. And was close to thinking about buying one of those hand held devices that old people use to close a button through the loop hahah. But like man its so stiff. Like even with pants off trying to button is a challenging. It has stretched a little since i got it, but like how far should i push it is sort of the question. Definitely wouldnt say 2 fingers slide in. So.....i was thinking maybe preserve it as it stands and selling. But its like giving up on the challenge

@cyclops I think they are too small. The buttons themselves should be pretty difficult from the start but that’s just a spacing issue.

[Matt]

Agreed. Next size up. They won’t stretch enough to be comfortable and you won’t wear them.

[Matt]

The 666 sits lower than the 888 so your hips must be wider making the same size fit differently. My experience with 25 oz has been very little stretch compared to the lighter weights.

[Matt]

As far as difficulty with buttoning, XHS is difficult to button at first due to the thickness and rigidity of the material when new and the hole being tight. It should not be difficult for the button side to reach the hole side. That’s a sizing issue.

@Matt and @daugustway awesome, genuine thanks for the advice! Its good to know what the limits are. Its hard in australia as there arent that many stores to go to try on, so its a bit of a guess trying online etc. So thanks guys!
