IH-666S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - SBG

@Bums_Fan:

Cold water and it really doesn't have to be long at all.  Soak long enough to get the jeans thoroughly saturated then transport them to the washing machine dripping wet.

Cheers! Let's see how this goes…

Amazed how much black these shed in the wash.

Pre-soaked, 30c wash, no spin.

Slight marbling, but all part of the wabi-sabi baby [emoji1365][emoji3590]

Roughly 100 days wear.

Excuse the shitty quality and the mess in the background, but I just wanted to acknowledge how much I love the 666 cut… They feel so roomy and unrestrictive, but somehow maintain such a sharp and fitted silhouette on my body type.

I wanted to try all of the IH cuts in time, but starting to think I shouldn't mess with a good thing....

I'd say these have officially faded to grey after 6 months and two washes.

Love the contrast between them and my new OD Lefty!

looks great !
start beeing a sbg fan

@T4920 bro!! Looking sharp!! That new lefty OD is looking great with those SBGs. You are like future me haha. Soon as those new Lefty truckers drop I’ll be pairing it with my new 888 SBGs!!!

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle Awesome, did you get the 888s from the Filthy Gift thread?

You're gonna love the Lefty Trucker. It does fit extremely slim though, so size up if you're between sizes.

I'm 182cm and 81kg and you can see my fit pic on the product page. It fits like a glove but damnnn I couldn't have fit into an L (which is my normal IH size)

@T4920 i found a pair of 888s basically new on Grailed. They’re off in Gosport being hemmed at the moment. Can’t wait to get to work on them!

Good info on te lefty. By all accounts that batch was a slim one. Wonder how the next one comes out…

[gusg]

Hoping these will get a restock/rerun soon! Been calling my name lately and I can’t find a 34 anywhere

[Daniel San]

Lucky me , I have one on stock

[JunkPants]

Nice, dig that patch as well.

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San have you been stashing these away? I ended up selling my 888s and found a pair of 666s at Snake Oil Provisions. They should hit the porch tomorrow!! My first pair of SBG and first pair of 666…quite psyched!!!

[Daniel San]

@Mizmazzle
yes , have more than enough in rotation at the moment.

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San this is the challenge of this obsession!! Any thoughts on when you’ll start them?

[Daniel San]

guess when it’s getting to warm for XHS .
at the moment I have a 777XHS and a 777xhs ib in my winter rotation and wear them in daily change . And 10 or more pairs when I want something different

[Mizmazzle]

The struggle is real!! My XHS are my 98% of the time pair. But the SBG are on deck…come June they will get the full throttling they deserve!!

[gusg]

Anyone have any good sizing advice for these? do they shrink/stretch? I thought I was a 34, but comparing the size chart to the Oni's 622 I've been wearing is making me consider a 33 (and I found a 33 in stock). Am I going to regret the 33?

[Mizmazzle]

@gusg trust the measurement my man! Get em a bit snugger in the waist than your favorite older jeans. They will stretch some with wear.

I just got a new pair of these 666 SBGs in the mail today! All my jeans sit right at about 33” waist measurement. These new ones are 32.5” but I know they will stretch from .5 up to about a full inch with wear. My body seems to hit the 33” mark and holds there.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 hey brother! Curious about any shrinkage when you washed your SBGs?? Looks like you cuff so it may not matter to you, so much. I had mine hemmed about .5” longer than preferred length. Figure I should warm soak/ wash before starting the journey. But also don’t want to go overboard if you saw noticiable shrink.

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle I've washed twice at 30c. One with no spin, the second with low spin. They tightened up a little throughout, and maybe lost half an inch in the inseam? If you flick back a bit you can see them fresh out of the back, I was a little concerned about the length at the time, as I'm not a fan of stacking, but now I consider them perfect in every way.
