IH-666S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - SBG

Well i cant believe how soft and pliable these are straight out of the box. I can only compare them to the 25oz indigo 777 and i got those yesterday and these today lol. These are 34 tag just like my 777 but they fit much better although i havent soaked my 25oz yet. The funny part are these jeans according to the website i bought them from were supposed to be a true 34 and according to the website i bought the 777 were supposed to be a 33. But i think these are closer to a 33 i didnt want to go down in size because in each case the jeans supposedly went down to a 32 if i were have gotten the 33 tag not sure bout how they come to those numbers because i believe they must vary from pair to pair i kinda wish i went with the 33 tag on the 25oz 777 but with the soak i hope to shrink them a toch and thats all i need. These 666 fit perfectly there broken-in already minus the fades i hope to achieve ya 66621ozsbg are awesome

@jrb1975 I’m on day 11 with these and I’m obsessed with the fit. Coming from 634 I had concerns about the thigh, but measuring the IH way and comparing sizing charts made all the difference. Totally ignoring tag size and just looking at the measurements was the way. My 634 UHR are tag 32 and my 666 SBG are tag 34 and they both fit perfect. Stoked to get these grey fades!

@indigo_nico nice its cool your loving the sbgs
I found this forum after i had ordered my couple pairs of jeans maybe i wouldve done my measurements correctly the "iron heart" way but you live and learn. My pair off 777 still look great they just dont look like the best pair of jeans that i ever owned but the 666s do lol. Whats your strategy when it comes time to wash the sbgs ? Are you the kinda guy who will wait 6 months or will you wash when needed how will you do it?

@jrb1975 I wash them when they’re dirty, pretty straightforward to be honest. Dirty is subjective though, I reckon they’ll get a wash around 100 wears or so unless they get particularly gnarly. I went a bit longer with my UHR and the fades actually come in nicely after a wash. I typically hot soak for 60 min in the tub then put them in the washing machine on hot with no spin. Then hang to dry. I’ve heard SBG is easier to marble, so I might skip the machine until the 2nd or 3rd soak - again unless they get particularly gnarly.

This people on this forum have enough collective knowledge to fill a lexicon so I’d also search the different SBG threads to see what other people have e experienced with this denim!
