but i will add that the new sizing on the devils fit are great. are they likely to stay this way or is this a brief roomier thigh period?

@sabergirl:

Um….It's in the Marketplace, under Buying and Selling.  http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=5.0  Pretty sure you won't be able to create a new post until after you reach a certain number of posts on the forum, though.

Thanks. It looks like I have 17 posts (18 now) so it shouldn't be long now..

… How can I justify buying a second pair so soon and what to do with the first...

That is an easy one. You justify the second pair because it will fit better. You sell the first pair on the Buying and Selling thread and use the proceeds to pay for part of the second pair. (many of us do this regularly)

Ok. The new pair fit better. How do I find the buying and selling thread?

thanks guys. think i will give it a try.

I got the 31's from the last run and I love the look but it's a little tight n the thigh. It looks like the new 33's would be perfect as there's more room in the thigh without too much change to the rest of the fit. How can I justify buying a second pair so soon and what to do with the first…

Thanks. Ill check back in a couple of months - my personal preference would be for a 33 waist and an 11.7 thigh

Hey Giles when will you be receiving these in the original sizing again?

@elclintor:

I've got both OD, and indigo in 33

do they fit the same? i only have the od.

elclintor, just to clarify, the buster you had in a 33 was the over dyed correct?

"Ian, having owned both pairs in the same sizes, I suggest going with a size 33 in the 666S. My size 33 busters are my best fitting pair, and I had to sell my size 32 666S cause they were too tight"

Elclintor, You had the buster over dyed right? And where they snug in the thigh or roomy? And where the 666s tight all over or just too tight in one place. I'm thinking the 32's will be spot on but now you have me wondering…

Ian

I should clarify that the snug was more for the waist (and even there not too bad) I have plenty of room in the thigh on the bb od. I have these from self edge http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=734 in a 32 and the thigh is snug but good. So all in all the 32 in the 666s should work. Thanks for all the help. I gotta say this is the friendliest and most snark free forum I have found.

thanks david. i think i can fit a 32 in the thigh if the size is right. oddly self edge has the thigh at 11.6 and not 11.9 as listed on this site. that .3 could make a difference…

thanks. sounds like the 32 would be a better fit. i think the thighs should be fine as they are almost identical to the ihxb01xod. if i am understanding the 666s w32 would have a little more room (.5 inch) when all is said and done with shrinkage and stretching than the ihxb01xod w33. make sense?

couple of questions - if i wear a w33 in the beatle buster overdyed (snug) would i want a w33 in the 666s assuming it would shrink with the soak or a w32 (does it stretch much over time)? also any idea on restock? thanks.

ian

i agree

that was more complicated than i imagined. thanks guys.

lets see if this works

i have a pic but i can't figure out how to post it. after the last couple of entries i think i might opt for the yellow thread.

hi. I'm new to the site. I have a pair of ihxb01xod. i recently had them hemmed at self edge in ny. they did the hem in black thread. when i received the pants i asked why black thread and they said the yellow thread would be too bright since it hadn't gone through the overdye process. i really like the detail of the yellow and was wondering if anyone here has used a yellow or black thread and what they thought. self edge says they will redo if i want but i thought i would check in here first. thanks
