Thanks @Autorotate
The Kersey shirt is killer. Deepest blue hues of all.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions regarding soaking.

@alexpupin amazing my man! I just got a 666 in as well! Already my favorite cut for sure!

@alexpupin Looks like you’re ready to give ‘em hell! Great fit

Decided to give these another go. I sold my smaller pair a few years ago. Loving the 666 cut right now

@SKT I ain’t much of a model, I’m as natural as a lamp post

A bit of a random question but does anyone know if there is a difference between 25 oz indigo and the 25 oz mega beatle buster? And if so, what is it? Thanks!

[Matt]

Same denim.

[A Former User]

@Matt Oh really, so they’re basically the same pair of jeans. Had no idea. Thanks so much.

[Matt]

Just a different cut. The Beatle Buster was discontinued, much to my chagrin, a few years ago. The Mega BB was made for a competition I believe.

Noob here so bare with me... I am wearing 666 cut. Tag size 32 in all the 21oz ones and want to get the IH-666-XHS however the sizing difference in measurements and shrinking kinda scares me. According to the description you loose 1 inch on the waist and inseam but waist screeches back. I am guessing that 1 inch shrinking is on everywhere not only waist and inseam. So sizes I should be considering on IH-666-XHS?

@aliengin I have looked at your order history with us, and I see you have two pairs of 666s from us. I am going to work on the basis that you are talking about the IH-666S-21, and that you are happy with how they fit you. If either of those assumptions is wrong, let me know and we can tweak the logic.

Your IH-666S-21 had an actual waist of 32.5" when they shipped to you. They are likely to have stretched to 33.5" with wear now (though you can of course confirm this by measuring them the IH way).

With that in mind, if I were you I would be looking to purchase a tag 32 IH-666-XHS, and to ask the team when placing your order to look for a pair with an actual waist of as close to 33.5" as possible so that once you soak and wash them, they will have shrunk to about 32.5". Then with wear they should stretch back out to 33.5" and fit like your current IH-666S-21.

You’ll love them, the 25oz is so comfortable and cuddling, especially with the 666 cut

@alexpupin XHS and wabby! 2 classics

[Matt]

This was my first IH purchase. You’ll love them.

Soaked mine in hot tap water, around 50°C. Washed it on a short and slow spin cycle, now it's drip drying. Maybe it'll be dry tomorrow morning!

[tody]

It dried okay last night, and only have a few wet spots on the waist and the pockets this eveneing.
I just put them on. They didn't shrink too much, after a couple of attempts, I was able to close the top button.
Looks like a half decent fit!

[Matt]

Looks good to me. My shrink/stretch experience on these was negligible as well.
