Plus it gets rid of the itch I was having.

Righto, time I got back on topic and contribute to this thread. Introducing my 666XHS - just a few days old. They had a traumatic journey to my house, but now they're safe and sound.
Obviously it's early days, and they need to settle a fair bit, but I'm loving the fit already. The rise is higher than I'd usually go for, but I'll probably never wear these with a tucked-in shirt, so it doesn't matter.
Yep, still got the jar of pasta supporting the old couch. New couch (oil-pull leather) being made to spec as I write this…can't wait.
The pockets are too rigid to bend right now, so when I walk the bit under the pocket pinches my arse with every step. Sensual? No, just a little painful.
Indoor closeup (artificial light)
Closeup in sunshine…colour looks quite different eh?
Shadow (plus reflection) shot.
These pictures brought to you by Big Brother and the Holding Company - Janis Joplin's finest hour and arguably one of the best albums of the late 60's or early 70's.Thanks guys…

Same initial issue..Tried to tuck my tee's & shirts at 1st which bombed miserably
-
Seul yes that looks fine but on me because i have longer legs than my torso could handle it looks like my jeans are to my chest when i tuck. Maybe after they lose all their stiffness and i choose to bag them it will have a different result
Oh and those shoes..what are they and do u have a better pic u can post in the shoes thread?

Believe it or not i actually guessed Trickers..I found those exact boots on ebay. Thanks for the link Finn
-
Where did you find these on eBay?.. These are the waxed leather ones made in collab with the Bureau of Belfast…
-
Me not being familiar with trickers i thought these were them but i was just on Bureau's site and saw they were different
-
Here you can score cheaper Tricker's - these are factory seconds sold by Tricker's themselves… So they have a few very small blamishes but usually nothing I would mind... Add to fav sellers and check now and then, maybe you find something!..

Like this Seul:
-
lol thats what mine look like MP right on..If u have long legs it throws off the look. Tshirt out will give the impression ur torso is proportioned to ur legs IMO
-
I know Seul ;). Never again, I thought it looked ok - then I saw the photos… It's true, the camera never lies.
-
Yep, I think it is a tallness thing. I also suffer from "skinny bastard" syndrome, which means the rise always looks higher than it actually is. If I tuck in to my 666XHS, I look the same as you, MP.
Seul and Matt, you guys obviously have the right proportions to pull it off.
Horses for courses, eh.

After building up to it with a few short stints, I've finished my first full day of wearing the 666XHS.
I didn't get the hip bruises that others spoke of, but i do have lovely red raw skin behind my knees where the denim folds were rubbing against me as I moved around. The arse pinching that I spoke of has eased off now, as the pockets are starting to bend a little with movement. My hands are very blue - I didn't think I was touching my jeans that much, but I guess I can't help it.
It's going to be a beautiful journey with these, although they have serious competition with my INDOs at present. I'm loving having two fairly similar cuts but made from such different denim.
Anyway, my body needs a short rest from the 666 punishment, so today I'm into the BB overdyes…mmm, comfort.
