My slub’s arrived today….damn, I’m in love. The texture, the fit
all exceeding expectations. Appreciate you @Ross for finding the perfect pair with a smaller waist. Thank you.

Hi people, I just signed up and this is my first post, for my potentially first IH item: the SLB-666
I went to a local store today and tried the 666 slubby in W32 and W33.
W32 felt tight around the waist and there was not too much „leftover“ material in the crotch area, sitting rather slim.
W33 felt more comfortable, I could easily put 2-3 fingers between the waistband and my stomache. There was some „leftover“ material left and right of my holy part.
So the question to you all: after a couple of months and potentially also some
washes, how much did the waist and hip area stretch? Did it jump back to the initial measurement when washing?This would help me in deciding whether to size up or not. Thank you!
If it helps: I usually wear size 30/31 (Nudie) and size 32 (Momotaro, 0105 cut; PBJ, 019 cut)

These stretch a lot and quickly. Some are getting close to two inches. If the smaller waist is snug but still able to be buttoned I’d say that’s your sweet spot. The hips on most 666 don’t change much. It’s really just a matter of getting used to the fit. A wash would tighten them up again but they stretch back out.

Got these and pleased with the fit so far, just started wearing them today. I had tried the regular 21oz in one size smaller and it was too snug being probably one size too small, and thicker denim, though this 666S-SLB cut seems to have about .5in more in the thigh for equivalent tag size, so works out nice for me. I wouldn't mind trying a cut with another cm or two in the rise, but this is a good middle ground. 10.7in, I think closer to 11 - 11.25in would be my sweet spot, glad these run closer to 11in than 10 in. Could try an 888 but the jump up to 888 cut rise and thighs is quite a bit. I think the thighs would definitely work out baggy for me. Probably because I'm shorter the waist / thigh ratio doesn't quite work for me. Anyway, fortunately these are right in my zone and feel good so far.
The denim feels quite soft, and you can feel the bumpiness of the slub. Very nice feel to it.

@plumdog Definitely one of the best fit's I've seen in this forum.
