@indigostiff That happened to me last summer when I wore 21 oz IHs through the airport. Was a bit surprised by that.

Hi guys I’m new here and looking to buy my first pair of 25oz 666s. Couple questions: 1. does soaking the jeans prevent indigo transfer? I have some light coloured furniture and I’ll be in some trouble if the indigo streaks onto the furniture. 2. Regarding honeycombing, how much allowance should I give for that when considering hemming? Thanks a lot !

It may a little but it will not nullify it, wear and washes will do, but that doesnt help your furniture in the short term, sorry

2. Regarding honeycombing, how much allowance should I give for that when considering hemming? Thanks a lot !

0.5", plus the shrinkage quoted on the product page

@indigostiff Happened to me leaving Gainesville last month. Got felt up all over my dang 25s by a stout redhead...while making eye contact.

edit: just noticed your post I was replying to was not from today. Either way, it happened and my empathy for you man.

@Alex thanks for the quick reply.

Hi guys, new to the forum here, been a silent reader for about 3months ( since buying my first IH 666 XHS ), so here is my 3months update of daily wear 666 XHS ( these jeans quite stubborn, but lovin it )

Back from hemming. Went pretty snug with these!

Electric Blue coming out..

I thought these were going to be too snug, but after three days of wear they’ve stretched nicely. I think I went too short on the inseam though. Will the hem opening drape better with time? They look wide and short. If not may have to list these for sale.

@bluemantra it all comes down to personal preference. And yes the XHS will become softer and will drape a bit better then they do now but also will take a bit more length because of the honeycombs and when the fully set in. For me personally this would be to short cause i like a bit more length for multiple reasons. What does your gut say? Cause in the end you need to wear them.

As I watched stock in my size dwindle I became weak and had to pull the trigger on a pair… decided to size down from my normal 34 to 33, think I made the right choice. They’re pretty spot on pre-soak, my plan is to wear them for a cpl wks to get some stretch then soak to bring the stretch back down. Will see how it goes but loving the fit so far.

[bluemantra]

@spleef_oner I think you'll be very happy with sizing down. Mine were pretty painful after first wash, but have since stretched to be comfortable and they're still loosening up. Looks like a solid fit to me.

@spleef_oner look awesome man!
