IH-666S-PD - Indigo 14oz Money Denim Slim Cut

[A Former User]

Excellent purchase. Congrats on getting two pairs to pick the right one, smart!

NO CUFF! (Just my humble/biased opinion)….

[Jett129]

They look amazing. Sometimes the kind of footwear I expect to be wearing most with a pair of jeans will dictate a hem or cuff.

[Chris]

No cuff.

Very nice fit, @QuantumMechanic, they look great (and agree you don't need to cuff)

I noticed that Sam and Giles sized down 1 in these but, by the pics, they seems a bit too tight to me. so I went TTS because I would like a more relaxed look, even considering thighs.
I'd take the 634, but the measures were too big in my size, so I opted for 666, that I know very well and never disappointed me.
I always nailed sizes with IH bottoms (I can wear everything from 28 to 31, no probs)
Shirts and jackets…

With this order I tried to sabotage IHUK, but @Alex , with great kindness and patience, solved all the problems I had set to destroy their excellent service! Next time I'll do worse, promise … 

@QuantumMechanic Impressive! I like cuffs too, to be honest.
They seem really some puny 13.75oz, on you!
I cannot wait to taste their true hulkish 18oz essence 

[Madame Buttonfly]

@georgeel we very much appreciate you making sure that Alex is rising to customer challenges!

So @Giles and crew, I'm confused as to what the actual weight is on this denim?  On the back pocket "flasher" (not sure if that's what they're called) it says 14oz but on here they say 18oz.  Which one is it?

[Giles]

We are delighted with the end result which is a denim that feels like 14oz but is stronger than 18oz, however it was a lot more difficult to weave successfully than anticipated so we don’t plan to make this denim/”yenim” again

[Dion]

The strongest 14 oz one will ever get.

@Giles:

… but what's the actual weight? 14oz or 18oz?

[Giles]

Probably 16oz

Got mine thanks again Giles and IH crew!

Can't wait to check these out. I've had 25oz and 21oz IH before.  This lighter weight is a first for me, definitely excited. Going to be a good summer pair

So, this is Paper Denim!

PD wefts retain their nature of paper money, a fresh atm paper money. They are rigid and behave just like threads of extra-strength paper. The resulting denim (yenim), by contrast, is quite soft and light, really reminiscent of the old first Triple Works jeans. The color is the most beautiful thing about this model: deep blue, very dark but with something electrical. I am very curious to see what will happen after a few washes. Fit pics tomorrow, but they fit more or less like my 19L (first wave). I did well going TTS!

[georgeel]

Then I tried to unfold a single yarn of pd weft. It's radically different from a traditional cotton yarn. It's definitely a true thin tape of paper. Too bad I don't own a microscope!

[neph93]

That's very cool @georgeel !

[georgeel]

I think 666s-PD is a failed experiment, since IH is losing money, but I am also convinced that the basic idea was very interesting. The point is to minimize the "weft" element in the fabric. I believe it can lead to very good results, maybe trying with other materials.

[BloodnThunder]

What are all the owner's impressions of the fit on these.  Measurements look a bit bigger in the waits and slimmer in the thigh than other 666 models.

[georgeel]

An unfolded yarn of paper component of yenim. With Wong Kar-Wai, coolest man in the world.

@BloodnThunder Yes, it is. They are 1" or more bigger in the waist and a bit slimmer

Another test: up= 21oz, down= yenim
They are both wet

[kkibbey23]

Here is a picture I took of 25oz vs the Yenim. Gotta say these are pretty cool!!

The thighs are a little tighter than my other pair of 666s but no biggie

The yellow is from the poor lighting sorry.
