@truongj28:

Question on stretch: do these stretch in the thigh at all? About how many wears til all stretch is done?

Yeah, thighs «relax» rather than stretch. .3” is really all you’ll get, especially on this 18oz denim. Obviously these shrink too so remember to factor for that. The 18oz is a pretty tight weave so it takes a while. A couple of weeks wear and you’ll be done.

The 21oz will stretch more readily, quicker and maybe a little more. And is fully sanforised, so don’t shrink. As a matter of interest, where did you find a pair of these for sale? They’ve been extinct for a while now.

I found a pair on Grailed! Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to err on the side of caution and not going with something that may be too small for my thighs.

Hello, my 666s, 4 or 5 years

[setandsetting]

I think these were done with cotton rather than poly stitching maybe…back pockets are starting to come off. I can probably repair that myself. Anyway here they are after 3 years.

[Giles]

I think maybe you are right, some of the earlier production runs of these used cotton thread for some of thew stitching….

[neph93]

Certainly looks that way. That is pretty cool actually. Not that I’d want it on mine, but that there a few runs out in the world that have that little difference.

These were my main jeans for about 2 years; now retired after seeing a lot of life…

Thank you @ROman .  Hope all is well with you.  Feels so much longer than a year ago that there was the meetup in NYC!

I just bought a pair on an auction. Pictures coming later in the week.

Hello everyone!

I am a proud owner of a dead stock 666S. I posted in the wrong thread earlier this year, and just realized this when I saw the patch difference. Now onto the jeans…

I purchased this pair new through the re-love program. Apparently they were sitting for a while and a retailer returned them to IH. Here is the progress since the start of 2022. Enjoy

@tecnica222:

Hello. I am wondering if anyone who has a pair of these also happens to have a pair of PBJ Xx-013 - and if so broadly how the two compare fit-wise? I am a 32 in the PBJ with no issues at all.

Realise this response is almost 6 years late, but I have the IH-666S (W32) and the PBJ XX-013 (W33) and they both fit very, very similarly. To cut works pretty much the same on me, with the only noticeable differences being a slightly higher rise on the PBJ and marginally wider hems on the IH.

First pair of IH years ago. They still hold that special corner of my heart for me when I wear them. Turns out now that ive found the 634 cut to be my latest jam.

@MyNameIsJason nice! Love the Pendleton board shirt peaking in too!
