IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
I am so pumped to get these…Me being new to this raw thing and for years bought only diesels because i love the fit on their Safado cut. I wound up choosing the Nudies as my 1st pair because they were around $200. Now IH's on the other hand just seem so damn rockin roll. So quick question. If i buy the Devils in in a size 32 which is probably my exact waist size and i soak em b4 i wear them will that be an issue or should i go with say the 33's

I plan on going TTS on the 666s as I did w/ both the other versions. The amount of shrinkage you get out of them should vary depending on the temperature of the water you use and the duration of the soak. If you go TTS and try them on before you soak them, you'll be able to decide what kind of bath to give em.
As far as the od's go… they're pretty freaking impressive. The quality and density of the 18 oz denim defintely gives them a "crispness" that makes me feel all fuzzy inside when I fondle them. The black is not a stark black, there's totally an aura of blue there. I did not size up on those because I wear a 34 and thought a 36 would be too big. They fit and I love them, but I would have gotten a 35 if they made them.

Ok done , I am waiting on my auction on ebay to end for my $289 Self Edge credit to end. Then ill hit the Iron Heart site for the Devils

go TTS. im a 33" and went with one. love the fit. these will stretch real fast so don't have to worry much about post soak. didn't take any measurements but they fit the same pre and post soak to me.

Thanks for ur response..TTS it is then

^ yeah I thought of sizing up too but thank God for G's advice. he never go wrong. not even once. all my IH stuffs that I seek his opinion on sizing, it's bullseye.

Who needs to try clothes on 1st when u have places like this ..AMazing how spot on people are

Hey question about sizing on Devilz as well as potentially busters. I am confused as to going TTS with these. In the Busters case the tagged size of 31 measures 32 as per IH sizing guide for busters. Now I naturally wear a 32 so if i am to go TTS am I taking the 31 which are measured 32 or am I taking tagged size 32 which measure 33? I should also say I dont like my jeans SKIN tight but like them to be a bit slimmer with a slight bag if that makes sense. CORRECTION i SHOULD STATE THAT MY FAVORITE SIZED JEANS ARE TAGGED 33X34 gRIM TIMS WHICH ARE NOW MEASURING 17.5 IN THE WAIST
Thanks for any help

speak to G. he knows his stuffs like the back of his hand.
for me, I simply measured my waist, fav jeans and it reads 33" so I grabbed the W33 which was hard to button initially but have since stretched and feels fantastic now.
of course I also had to pay attention to my thighs but it's just me rugby kid thighs. reckon most would be fine with the thighs.
-
Ok ima grab the 33's then Thanks
Damn it no 33's left on the IH site

Hey DD, I think you're making this over-complicated mate! Forget the tag size for now….
1. are you happy with the current fit of your Nudies with waist 17.5 (i.e 35 around)?
2. If YES, then I wouldn't choose anything with a measured waist less than 33inch, unless you love pain. You probably want something with a raw waist in the range 33 to 34 inches (to allow for stretching). Find whatever tag size matches these needs. (Remember that individual pairs vary, so you can ask Giles to see if any of the pairs in stock measure X inches in the waist).
3. Neither the 666 or BB is like a Grim Tim. The first thing you will notice is that the denim is wayyyyy wayyy different, in a good way. The second thing is that the leg opening in both these is wider than the Grim Tim.
4. As Volcano says, Giles knows his shit better than eny of us, so I'd pay attention to his advice.
I hope you get something that works for you.
Cheers,
RnR -
That was excellent advice…Now i just have to find the Devils in a 33
-
Hey RnR, how is the leg opening on either the BB or 666's ? They arent to wide right? I dont like the cuff looking like a rolled donut. I mean it doesnt have to be like the GT's which I bought them bigger than most would have

did a lot of gardening work last weekend…666 become a bit brownish...
This shit right here. Man, I need to start gardening. Looks like how beige weft denim should theoretically look after heavy wear. But achieved through epic gardening.
Everyone's pic posts are kick ass. Keep it up. This thread is so ill.
