Had them delivered yesterday, for me, these are pretty much the perfect pair of jeans.

I assume they will need a soak as normal? I've only had raw denim before and always soak before wearing, is it the same with sanforised denim?

I've gone with the 30, think they should be good. cant wait to get them now!

Thinking of grabbing a pair of these.

I have a pair off 666s in a 29 which are perfect round the waist, but too slim on the thigh and the top area in general.

Think of getting a pair of 30s, what do you think?

I was a bit worried after the first soak that these would be too small, stretched out now, and i love them.

@Morose_Penguin:

They should stretch out, but it may take a while and be painful if you want to fit your whole hand in the pocket.

Thanks! That's reassuring. I already feared I'd have to make do without any front pockets. And a little pain while breaking them in will be well worth it, because the fit is spot-on for my (pretty slim) frame.

The fit looks very good on you too, MikeC!

I had the same thing, now after a good solid month of wear, the pockets are all good. I found them very tight on the thighs after the soak but they've also loosened up. Slowly beginning to get comfortable.

My 666s post soak are super tight on the thigh, will they stretch out a little with wear? They definitely shrunk more than I was expecting, and they are still a little damp.

Got my first pair of IH delivered this morning.

terrible photo but…
