IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[Beatle]

hemi - I do sometimes feel that way - in the thigh area the Busters are a tad more fitted….

@Hemi:

I wear 34 in both indigo models and they fit perfectly.

From memory the BB felt tighter to me but I think I was the only one?

Thanks for chiming in; it's especially helpful since you're talking about the sizes I'm looking at.  Sometimes how one cut compares to another at size 28 isn't the same as how they compare at 34.

Thanks Beatle.  In my experience measurements are a great guide, but they don't always tell the whole story.

I'm a 32 in 634s-b, and I need pretty much all the room they have in the thigh.  I'm thinking I might not be able to shrink the waist of a 666 size 34 down as much as I'd like, but not sure I could manage the thighs on a 33.

[Beatle]

yap, sounds about right..good thing there are so many cuts now to pick from

[dcg]

The only thing giving me hope is that Lando sized up from 32 to 34 on these and seemed happy (I read the whole thread last night  :-[).

does the devil stretch alot on the waist? or other parts for that matter…

[Giles]

My tagsize 33 now measure 34 and the thighs stretched a little too

[orlylow]

thanks G. the 25oz is impossible for me in 32degree heat all year round…

[Giles]

Hey Iron Hearts,

i got my 666s today (W30), and i must say that's one stubborn mofo 
Never had a Jeans this stiff but it feels quite nice. (I wonder what the 21oz or even 25oz must feel like!)

They're quite tight on the waist and a bit too slim on the tighs. Not sure about the fit. What do you guys think, should I keep 'em and start to soak?

[Giles]

They NEED to be soaked.

Raw denim MUST be soaked, you have to bed the constructional stitching into the denim and get rid of the starch

You will shorten the life of the jean (any raw jean) if you do not

[Seul]

I forgot these are unsanforised… My bad... Well if they're too tight now, pre-soak, things are looking a little grim...

[Giles]

They will be a little tight to start with, but my 33's now measure 34 and i have a load more room in the thigh that originally…..

[babyknight]

personally I think you should stick with that size sukram.  there will be some pain post-soak but that's part of the experience…

that said it depends ultimately on what kind of fit you want.

[Beatle]

right size. Period. Amen. Done. Now soak

[kit99bar]

that denim stretches back to pre soak size after a few weeks. :).
The knee down will not stretch though so keep that in mind (no pressure to stretch em back).

[babyknight]

666s post soak.  Obviously got some stretch to come up top in the next few days.
