IH-666S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Got home after work yesterday, did some measurements, and tried it on again. Concluded that its too small
While wearable, I agree its too tight and uncomfortable. I`ll probably need a size up to W34 or maybe an altogether different cut with more room in the top block.If the size 33 waist is OK yet hips and thighs are tight, then another cut may suite you better. You may find with a 34 the waist is too big even if the hips and thighs are OK. The 666 cut fits me similarly - doesn't work. 634 and 888 are better suited to my build. Also check out SE has a 633 version in the 18oz vintage, if you prefer more taper below the knee. But then again the measurements on the 634S-18 are one of the best of the 634 range. The 18oz vintage is one of IH's greatest denims.
Yeah, its such a pity the top block/ thighs on the 666 are so slim. Im 6 ft 177 lbs and suspect my build is similar to yours. This precludes the 777 too.
I have the 634s-21 and its such a brilliant pair of jeans. As for the 888s - the rise looks a tad too long; coupled with the strong taper, its not really my thing.
Thanks for the tip and I`ll check out the 633s! Hopefully the 18oz vintage denim will be extended to more of the cuts too!

If I were you, I'd make the attempt to stretch them out because they're sanforized and one washed so give that a try first before selling. Suck it up, Buttercup!Thanks so much for your replies, comments, and measurements @xtcclassic @gautamkrisna !

P.S: Great fit pics @gautamkrisna !

Suck it up, Buttercup!@Crash84 - he's right - since you already have them hemmed and can't return them, you might want to wear them for a couple weeks and see what happens. A couple weeks of wear won't significantly reduce the re-sale value, if that's a concern.

Right on. Today's a lousy day and you're the only one agreeing with me.@Crash84

I am interested in getting a 666S-21 a few months later after summer passes but I am concerned that it has even slimmer thighs @ wider waist. Do you have any experience.
I don’t, although I do plan on getting a pair eventually. When I do, I’ll check with IHUK to see if they have a pair with a bigger thigh measurement. I’m confident they will.

Very nice.
-
beautiful! How many washes so far?
-
This denim is ending up to be one of, if not my fav from IH.
One soak and dry
-
Ya had to one up me @Giles haha. They look great!
-
Giles you must love these, I don’t remember you spending this much time in any other pair. They look amazing.
-
Geez Giles, how is that even possible?!
Best damn denim ever.

I do. I want to see them disintegrate, not sure I have the patience though….
-
I love mine too. However, at this rate, I’ll be lucky if mine look half as good in 10 years.
