IH-666Sod - Devil's Fit Overdyed - Super Slim Tapered
-
Is an overdyed 666s in 34 the same jeans as a 666s sz.34? Just overdyed? Both start raw with the same measurements?
no they don't. i wear a 33 for my 666S and even on the tagged 34 for these was impossible for me. its best you run a check with the measurements to see for yourself.
i think the OD process shrinks the jeans big time and thus the drastic difference in the measurements. my 666Sod tagged 34 which i sold off measured 31.7" there about when i first got it while my 666S tagged 33 measured 33.5" pre-soak and though i didn't measure post soak, i was able to button them and so i assume its definitely at least 33". unlike the 666Sod i was way far off from being able to button the top button. eventually i had to sell it off.

I compared the measurements and saw the huge difference.
Giles says that the 18oz raw denim shrinks about three percent.
which sounds a bit little. I always thought raw denim shrinkage is around 8 percent.
which would explainbthe measurement difference between 666s and 666sOd.I said the raw 18oz denim shrinks 3%. - by that I mean our 18oz raw. That is accurate.
Some raw denim shrinks as much as 10%. I have not done shrink tests on other brands of denim, so I can't be accurate.
I'm confident that I could get Haraki and Ono to make me a denim that shrinks 15% if I really wanted (which I don't).

This is something else that people often fail to take into account- "super aggressive." Just soaking your jeans won't get as much shrinkage as running them through the washing machine. Agitation increases the shrinking process dramatically.

Recognize these Finn & Natehate? Couldn't get my fat thighs into them and so I had to create a new convert. Expect a new member soon.

now those are a much better fit on him than on me…perfect imo!
and great to see your lil bro is putting some love in these, since they haven't got any from me during 2012!Not to induce seller's remorse in any way, but I liked your fit in the 666od, despite what my original comments might have intimated. There's slim fit and then there's skinny…I guess it depends on the wearer's level of comfort and personal style.

well the biggest reason for me selling them is that i haven´t worn them one single time in 2012 (ok, let´s say like 5times max.!) and i somehow just didn´t fell comfortable while wearing, so they had to go. the fit was a nice one you´re right, but them jeans just wasn´t me!…now i´m happy though, since i´ve made someone else happy!
