IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[kit99bar]

Jord, fantastic!  How tall are you?

[gbougard]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the 25oz!

[barun]

I really like the way these fit you Jord.  What size and length? And without any break, what length would you normally wear?

[SimonQ.]

@Jord666:

W33 L31

[Jord666]

Cheers for the positive comments guys I think they're my perfect fit I love them! I'm 5ft 10, the size is 33 and the length is 31". I usually take a 30" leg but I spoke to Giles over the phone and he advised I add an inch to what I normally wear because alot of length would be taken up due the thickness of the denim behind the knee and I'm glad I took the advice

Hey G, When do we get another box with 666-xhs 36's?

[Giles]

Not until I get a rerun sorted out, there are currently no firm plans.  G

And finally, here they are!

First: color
Incredible, I've never seen anything like this. It's dark, almost black, but still pure blue jeans indigo.

Second: denim
The quintessence of Iron Heart. Heavy, unslubby, smooth, thick as steel plates.

Third: cut
Brilliant. I was hoping in a more relaxed fit then 666Sod, and my prayers have been answered. 666X's cut seems to me something between 666s and Busters. Devil was merciful, this time.

Fourth: how they feel
It's hard. They are absolutely not "super soft". They are not even "soft". They remind me the Busters sbg, but stiffer.
I could be wrong, but I sense in them a core of soft. Very, very deep inside, they have a touch of sweetness that is waiting to be discovered.
Honestly, I cannot express myself, for now. I will wait at least one week, ten days (minimum) to say if all this 25oz story is madness or if it's something I can really wear everyday. But I have good hopes.

Fifth: fit pix
In time. Pictures now would be pointless: those jeans are wearing me, so they seem perfect, it's like to have Beetle's legs…

Sixth: wearing them
I'll do. I wanna break in those monsters. Or die trying! 

WARNING: do not put your phone in the front pocket...

[Seul]

What happened to the phone?.. 

[Morose_Penguin]

If it's the same problem I have, then it'll take at least 5 minutes to retrieve…

I'm also holding up a lot of checkout queues at the moment, while I try to retrieve my wallet.

@Seul:

still there…

[madmonday]

think i'll wear these for halloween & pretend i'm Iron Man.

[georgeel]

I'm a sort of Power Ranger, now.

Seventh: hemming
Giles and Paula did a fine job, chain-stitching is good as original. Thanks a lot!

Haha now I follow ya!..

Good Gosh

dont be in a hurry to take a leak if you're wearing these pants! Undoing the top button takes a while and accidents could happen while you're breaking your fingers and tearing tendons trying to set the captive free!

[georgeel]

Point.
I've already broken the nail of the right index finger.
Really.
No joke.  :o

[dave]

lol… I have a rash on my backside and on my mid thigh from these things.  I consider this a feature

[georgeel]

Day 2.
More confortable.
I am sitting cross-legged on the floor with
my laptop, and I feel very good.
Beatle's right, after all 

So, I got up and took a pic…

[ChuckDenim]

Great fit, best so far.

[georgeel]

Thanks!

8th: smell
Yes, 666X send a penetrating fragrance of brand new denim that remind me my first pair of Levi's, so many years ago. I was 14, and so proud of them!
But even if they were true-genuine-long-time-gone Levi's made in USA, were not as spectacular as my 666X.
