IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
Desperate to get back in a pair of IH's I decided to cram myself in my w31 666s from the batch that had really long inseam and a waist a bit larger than usual. The waist was perfect but the thighs were suffocating. SO…. After wrestling myself into them me decides to hop in the shower and let em soak down; afterwards, got out and slowly did lunges around the house for nearly an hour, going up and down the steps... Long story short it worked, painful, but worked... The Denim Struggle.
I need some new pants , these will never be washed again :p

Follow the thigh measurement in the 666

You can always fix a waist with a belt. The thigh measurement is whats tricky on the 666

can always put on a belt if to big or just wear & stretch if waist is tight. if the thighs are tight you are pretty much f^cked . . . unless you are into tight thigh jeans or have a way to stretch them out. if you have a way to stretch thighs let me know cause i got a pair here that fit great every where BUT the thighs & i would really like to wear them. . .

20oz 301s??

You can stretch thighs by getting the jeans soaked and then jamming towels down into the leg holes just progressively working them in a little more at a time allowing it to stretch. I've done it with thighs and leg openings. Just take your time. Also, it's probably best to never wash if you do this cause it's a real pain to try to get it back exactly how it was

Joining the ranks soon as I am closing a trade to get a pair of 666S. My first IH venture in non-signature denim bottoms. Looking foward to posting some fit pics.

Just when you thought a fit pic couldn't get any worse! Sorry I don't have a mirror and the only other guy home with me today is 2. Got my lightly used 666s today. Fit better than I had expected. The waist is a hair loose and thigh a tad snug at the top, but I'd say on the whole a very comfortable fit. Fabric is interesting too coming from the signature denim. Much less muffin top and plumbers surprise than 301s. Might try a soak to tighten the waist up a tad.

I think that a straight cut with a tapered waist will suit you a lot better. Large waists and tight thighs feel horrible to me and I've been stoked ever since I found what works… Good luck!

Justin, that's too tight imo. Better go 1 size up

I'm going to stick with them, I can promise they are more comfortable than they may look, esp with me hunched over attempting to take my own pic. One size up would fall off. Having said that I'm wondering if BB might be the perfect cut for me..
Edit - hot soak cleared up the waist issue. Thinking thigh will loosen up and even if it's minimal, I'm more than happy with the pair. Also first washing machine soak and no disasters, patting myself on the back.

^i had same issue do not worry the thigh will stretch. 666s is my best fitting jeans and when I got them my thighs looked like stuffed sausages
