IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered
-
I would never call these jeans "skinny" or say they are only for skinny people. All of that is relative. The only thing I can say with certainty is that the 666S fit is slimmer than the 634S cut. I would say that the 666S cut in waist size 34 and above actually gives "chunkier" guys the illusion of what the size 32 634S's look like on "skinnier" guys(which look great IMHO).
I'm 5'8" 225lbs and could care less whether I wear a 32 or a 36 or a M or XXXL, I don't give a fuck.
The 666S fit me WAY better than the 634S. I've had the 634S in size 34 and 36 and they are just not for me. I feel like once you get to size 34 waist and above pared with size 32 inseam and below, the wider/straight cuts don't do that person justice compared to a slimmer thigh to hem ratio. Maybe I got lucky with my pair of 666S after they soaked, I honestly don't know. But they are my favorite pair by far.I've owned(if only for a short time) the following cuts.
634S sz34 and 36
634XHS sz34
666S sz36
666od sz36
9634 sz33(stretched to 36in waist) Fit amazing

Did you stretch the inseam at all while drying, to reduce shrinkage? Interested that you only lost 1 inch in the inseam, I would have expected a little more.

Na, just a 30min super hot soak. Nothing else. Hung dry.

nice, urban

Good to know. I'd like to get mine hemmed before soaking (because I like the effect), but gotta be careful about how much shrinkage occurs!

that sounds like a big gamble.

I think they look good but fit is of course a personal thing. If you don't feel comfortable in them then that's what matters. However, if they are new, they are going to stretch and settle. Mine certainly did - on one leg they were pinching my thigh at first but after a couple of weeks that went away and they are completely comfortable now.

nice progress Indranurf.
i shall post mine soon. -
Hey Giles, have you ever considered a 21oz Devil?
No sorry, like the 18 too much.
As do I, no hard feelings. I just know I'll have to get some 21 oz eventually and was hoping for a complete collection. It's not like I won't have options.
go for the 634S or their beatle busters.
those are 21oz.
