From your fit pics, the pair looks too tight and uncomfortable as per my taste, but its your call that really matters. I would usually choose a pair that is not too uncomfortable even to start with. You can expect .5 inch stretch in the thigh and a little more in the hips.

Here are some fit pics after 2 months of reasonable use in rotation with other pairs. I cant wait to machine wash this pair. I usually wait for a few months for the creases to set in before a machine wash to clean up all the starch and enjoy the smoothness.

Btw, this pair is very breathable, not too bad for summers at all.

Please suggest me how to store these jeans if I do not plan to use for few months.

I have a couple of IronHeart jeans, Levis and couple other raw denims hanging unused in my closet for 6 months in similar condition during the pandemic but only 666s-18 developed a lot mould. ( It has been raining a bit here )

Hi @gautamkrisna, I'am so sorry, but I just realized your question regarding the bracelet I'am wearing! Haven't been in the forum for a while and was today checking this thread.The bracelet is handmade in Hamburg by Talonmade…more details are on their website.

Thanks.

@Giles:

We did not get anywhere near enough interest for either the 777 or the 888.  Given that, I know we would not get enough interest for a 666.

By the way, I voted for 888, I mistook it for 666 for a min, I am wearing 666 happily and would like to stick to it in future. Please excuse and discount my 888 vote, sorry for the trouble.

@Bris:

Hey guys, wanted to get thoughts on the fit of my 634s tag 34.  Brand new out of the bag, they seem to fit great and the waist is perfect, which leads to my question. I’ve read plenty about 1” stretch on the 21 oz and worried they might stretch out too much. What do you think of the fit? Adam said these were the “biggest” tag 34 waist measuring 34.5 (I was thinking I needed closer to 35.5 after stretch so we went with this pair).

It’s my first IH pair. Should I Size down to allow for some stretch, send them back for a “smaller” 34, or just rock them?

Thanks in advance!

I dont think 634S can get any better than this. If you wanted a slimmer cut, then you should look for a different cut rather than sizing this down.

From my experience it stretches out a lot only if its too tight. When I purchased mine, waist was 34 which stretched close to 35.5 after 2 months use, but now I lost weight and wear a belt so after repeated washes it is now 34.5. It just molds to your requirements and looks perfect to start with.

Any chances of doing this in 666 ?

@Bulatik85:

hi,

could someone help me to understand:
sometimes I see comments regarding denim, like: 1 year, 5 soak, 1 wash.
what does soak mean in this case?

i know that I have to do initial soak for unwashed unsanforized denim to shirk it to my fit and make it softer, which means to put jeans to warm water and then take it back.

why then peopel do it 5 times? and it looks like they are doing it from time to time.
sorry if it is a very stupid question…  ::)

I have children around me so for Hygiene purpose I soak my jeans every 10 wears with gentle agitation in Dettol water. That effectively removes accumulated dust and sweat, I can tell it is effective because of color of water turning brownish. Jeans come out bit brighter and cleaner but donot loose much color, if you want to preserve color even more you can add vinegar in the water. I wash my jeans once ever 3-4 months when I think I have used it enough in warm weather or is accumulating stains.

I also like the fade patterns of jeans that are washed a few times.
