IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[Giles]

My personal view is that what your waist measures is to a great part academic.  My actual waist is way higher than the waist band of my jeans.  What is important is what a pair of jeans you have worn for a while actually measure and then make some informed adjustments depening upin the rise.

I get returns every day from people who either measure their actual waist or believe the tag-size bullshit on their existing jeans.  Example, I am having a pair of 34 634S retunred today because the customer wears a tag size 34 in a pair of Levis, the poor dude, could not even do the bottom button up, I suspect the actual measurements of those "34's" is closer to 37….........

@ALEX1976:

I ll try a 34 and 36 waist!
I odered both on DC.de

The wrong one go back to Daniel:-)

Is soaking before wearing important?
Or can i wear them without soaking???

They are raw and should be soaked…..

[ALEX1976]

Ok Giles;-)

I order both sizes and try!

[Giles]

Alex, make sure you look at the measurements of my 1 week old tag size 33 to understand what you may end up with in the 34 and 36….(somewhere up above)..........

if my waist measures exactly 30 inches should i buy size 29 or 30? i don't mind sizing down and stretching the tighter waist, but i also don't want it to be so tight that it won't stretch out to the 30.

thanks.

[Giles]

29 will go…..

I soaked it a couple of days ago, lt it dry until I put it on this morning, and I went WOW. This is the best fabric, so freaking stiff, the blue is so deep and dark. It is very elegant, no need for an OD'ing. I still rank the SR's a shade above because the weight is so impressive.

The lined pockets show an attention to detail I just love.

What's surprising is that the 34 waist is as snug as my 32 SR's. I'm sure it will stretch but it is definitely not a 34…

In any case, I'm curious to see how this one will age. Should be wonderful.

Beautiful, thank you so much Haraki and IH crew.

1hr hotsoak with a piece of wood for minimal waist shinkage

Now got to go to the taylor for a proper hemming. Still hesitating for a second soak.

As usual, G. was super helpful/patient. Great jean, great service . Thank you !

I think this particular denim will have insane amount of vertical falling

[Giles]

I'm off to sunny (very) climes for 4 weeks tomorrow.  Just hope that I will be able to give the 666 the proper amount of attention whilst I am away.  As a back up, I have butchered a pair of FreeBee 101's - they're now shorts…...........

Enjoy the sun…........

Thanks for the close-ups beats. You can see that this fabric is really special, much more slubby and hairy than on the regular 21 oz.

Hi, I decided to do a few squats the other day on my first wear and heard a small tear. A few threads along the inseam at the base of the crotch have loosened. Not a crazy amount, but enough for me to wonder if this could be a problem. I did my best with the pics.
