IH-666SB - Superblack Devil's Fit
-
It's been a while…time for an update on my SB work pants
They still look black just not superblack
-
I decided to give mine the hot wash treatment (30 minutes at 90 Celsius) after having pretty great results with my ihsh-85. They shrank an inch in the waist and two inches in the inseam. Here are some after shots.
But there was a casualty…
I'm pleased with the shrinkage and I think these are going to get worn a lot more now.

Wow. I bought the last one!

Well, this might be a bit late for some folks but just in case…
- As I mentioned in another post, I am a true waist size 31 (15.5").
- In most IH denim, I wear a 32 based on personal preference for fit (e.g. some room in the waist).
- In most IH denim, the downside of a 32 for me, is the fit through the legs is a bit roomier than I'd like.
I recently picked up a pair of these (666SB) in a 29 and the fit is perfect for what I was looking for. No problems buttoning, top block was initially a little snug but loosened really quickly. Within a few days, fit was very comfortable. The measurements provided by IH, are spot on.
- 29 in these will fit like a 31, over time.
- 30 in these will likely fit like a 32, over time.
Just my findings but likely vary per body type. Hope this helps.
Take care,
KS

I bought the last one in 33 and it arrived today.
Wow! What a great pair of jeans! I am really looking forward to a warm/hot wash to shrink them a bit and then having the leg resized so I can start wearing them properly.
Passive-aggressive note: it is a shame that these have been replaced by the zip version. Am I alone in not wanting jeans with zips?
-
Well, there it is! That sounds like a very good reason for stopping the button version.

doesn't look like it was by @luck that you got that great fit . . . okay I'm leaving
-
Hey @luck, good to see ya here!

Emphatically not. I can't stand zippers. They are a deal breaker for me, I simply would never spend a dime on a pair of zippered jeans. And thus don't find your remark passive-aggressive in the least, only appropriate and most welcome!

Fantastic fit Luck! I'd say give 'em hell, but mine have shown barely any wear over the past two years!

Awesome! I really like this deep black color and was hoping they stayed that way for a while

Hi Guys,
recently I've become a happy owner of an IH-666SB in size 33".
My first pair of IH and my first experience with heavy denim.
And I must confess it's amazing!
Otherwise this is my second pair of "quality jeans", so I'm quite a newbie in this "raw denim scene".
I'm aware the jeans are sanforized, but I'd like to know what can I expect from a hot soak?
A bit of shrinkage in every direction would be nice, especialy lengthwise and "crotchwise"?
Probably I should read this forum more deeply, but I couldn't find answere so far.
I appreciate any advice & thank You in advance.
