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

[A Former User]

I'm a 35 waist and the 34 in the 666xhs is a perfect fit. Mine took about a week to stretch out, even the thighs stretched some.

[Matt]

They definitely stretch/conform more than advertised (none) w/ the exception of the  hips.  The hips are the snuggest part on mine and haven't budged an inch for whatever reason.

Also, make sure you aren't overly attached to the current color of your shoes.

Thanks guys. I'm stoked. Hopefully they arrive tomorrow. Of course, even if they fit, I'll have to send them back to get hemmed. Can't wait to see them though, I've never even seen a pair of Iron Heart jeans in this denim wasteland I live in.

[Matt]

Wow, I'm really excited for you.  I would hate to get them then have to send them away.  I just put my nickel down and had them hemmed sight unseen.  Fortunately it worked but I certainly understand your caution.

Since I've been wearing these for the last 3 months, all other jeans feel like cheap tissue paper. Does 21oz breathe better in the heat? Otherwise this summer is going to be brutal.

[elclintor]

the 21oz breathes very well.. not sure about the 25oz though, seems like it would be an oven in the summertime.

it will be

Shot a gymnastics meet in these last night.  Not very good pictures, but I wanted to capture the chalk mayhem

The whiskers are  looking very nice, Dave

Hit the 90 day mark and the XHS just gets better and better. It's true these jeans do become very comfortable despite their weight. They develop on a daily basis which is great for OCD sufferers like myself. As with coffee and wine the notes are there to be discovered and savoured…

[daynym]

^ The color looks great. You can already see a nice evolution for "only" 90 days. I love it how thick this garment looks…

[madmonday]

indigoskin they look great.  & that's a fancy cup of joe you got 

[Seul]

It's good to see someone else have that exact same fading on his zip 

[Danny RnH]

Yes, Seul, but don't go there. Got in a right pickle trying to explain that fade in earlier posts.
Thanks, Madmonday, the coffee was great btw.

[Seul]

It came natural to me… Not sure what the Gods of Fades are trying to tell me but yeah...

[Matt]

I've got the same thing.  I just figured since they're so stiff that part usually sticks out when you are sitting (or if you have a giant fire breathing Godzilla ding dong like me) and naturally gets more contact to speed up the wear.

[Danny RnH]

Ah that explains it. Cheers, Matt

i browsed through the thread and saw some saying this is looser than the 666S. is there very obvious difference?
