IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Read the notes on the website.

i do agree they have less taper than the 666s (it also says it on the sizing chart), but with a denim this rigid that really isn't a bad thing. i guess when folks denim settle a bit more we can gauge a bit better. not sure when i'm going to start wearing these as i'm just getting some good action from my original 666s.
anyone starting on these full time?

@indigoskin:
I got mine in the mail today. The denim is amazing. But cause of my build they are the most awkward fit ever. 301s fit me perfect but tjese just dont taper enough or something so they are super baggy from just above the knee down. Hopefully I can find a shop that can taper them for me. Cause I got them hemmed on purchase and cant return. But amazing jeans none the less.
I'd just wear them for a good month or so and see how they settle down. The bagginess may go and as the jeans mould to your body shape & end up being a great fit. You can always taper later if still not satisfied.
I was going to just wear them and try and let them settle but thr fit is to awkward to leave the house in. looks like flares.

rocky. i can't comment on what to/not to do to your jawns until i see a pic. maybe the flare comes from the jeans being so rigid & not draping to your body?
in any event get us flicks & i'm sure someone will give you a great suggestion on your fit

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the 25oz!

Cheers for the positive comments guys
I think they're my perfect fit I love them! I'm 5ft 10, the size is 33 and the length is 31". I usually take a 30" leg but I spoke to Giles over the phone and he advised I add an inch to what I normally wear because alot of length would be taken up due the thickness of the denim behind the knee and I'm glad I took the advice -
Hey G, When do we get another box with 666-xhs 36's?

And finally, here they are!
First: color
Incredible, I've never seen anything like this. It's dark, almost black, but still pure blue jeans indigo.Second: denim
The quintessence of Iron Heart. Heavy, unslubby, smooth, thick as steel plates.Third: cut
Brilliant. I was hoping in a more relaxed fit then 666Sod, and my prayers have been answered. 666X's cut seems to me something between 666s and Busters. Devil was merciful, this time.Fourth: how they feel
It's hard. They are absolutely not "super soft". They are not even "soft". They remind me the Busters sbg, but stiffer.
I could be wrong, but I sense in them a core of soft. Very, very deep inside, they have a touch of sweetness that is waiting to be discovered.
Honestly, I cannot express myself, for now. I will wait at least one week, ten days (minimum) to say if all this 25oz story is madness or if it's something I can really wear everyday. But I have good hopes.Fifth: fit pix
In time. Pictures now would be pointless: those jeans are wearing me, so they seem perfect, it's like to have Beetle's legs…Sixth: wearing them
I'll do. I wanna break in those monsters. Or die trying!
WARNING: do not put your phone in the front pocket...

If it's the same problem I have, then it'll take at least 5 minutes to retrieve…
I'm also holding up a lot of checkout queues at the moment, while I try to retrieve my wallet.

think i'll wear these for halloween & pretend i'm Iron Man.
