Nope, you buy the jeans and you can buy more than one…...

Stopped by Self Edge SF today just to try on a few pairs of the original 18oz 666. Came to find that the 33 fit me perfectly. A little loose around the waist, but weren't hugging my thighs like the 32s. What would you all recommend if I wanted to get as close as possible to that 33 in the 25oz version?

[Giles]

I would stick with 33.  I'm concerned that if you size down on the XHS, your legs may end up getting separated from your torso.  If you are feeling super macho, go for the 32….G

Hi easy

is your Levi's avatar a sarcastic one, or an ode to what was, should have been and will probably never be great again?

[Beatle]

I think he picked it as a constant reminder what never to buy again..

[georgeel]

I believe that there are people still buy them only for the arcs …

Meanwhile, my 666XHS and 811 Wabash shipped!

Received mine today, and yea they're stiff like hell, and a hard way to start into IH denim.
As this is my first IH jeans, im quiet happy that they fit perfectly in waist and length,
but it was a pain to put them on first time, because of the cardboard feeling.
Still debating whether soaking them or not to soften them up.
I´ll put up fit pics tomorrow me thinks.

[Giles]

Soaking them won't help….......

[wakeupscreaming]

lol, ok so i have no other choice than taking the hard road i guess.
First thought was like "yay, they fit me good" second thought was "uh oh feels like the jeans wear me and not like i wear them"… 

[georgeel]

25oz, sanforized, unslubby, no shrinkage and little stretching… what can a bit of water?

[Beatle]

mine won´t see any water until 2012

[georgeel]

Question: stand they alone without you in it?

[Beatle]

Giles - any rough idea on the25 tees ?

[Giles]

We have been telling people sometime next week

[GimpKid]

How is sitting down in a fresh pair of these, as compared to a fresh pair of 21 oz'ers? They look pretty pliable.

[Giles]

More difficult. Bending down to tie your shoelaces is a challenge and I have taken to putting my socks on before my jeans to save time…....

[wakeupscreaming]

i know the pix suck… 

[Beatle]

just wear..will settle nicely
