IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[Finn666]

great to hear buddy! congrats

Hey guys, looking into the 666s as my first Iron Heart jeans.  My last pair of jeans were the Japan Blue JB0701 in size 31.  I like the fit and all on those but the thigh is way too tight, even after a full year of wear they didn't stretch out like I thought.  I really like the fit of the 666s and I've heard great things about the denim, but was wondering if a size 32 in these would be better for me.  I've been comparing Self Edge's measurements and the measurements on here and have gotten confused.  I wish this place had a pair in 31 and 32 so I could exchange if 31 is too tight for me.  I've compared with some of my other jeans and I'm still undecided between the two sizes.  Will the thigh and waist stretch past the pre-soak measurements?

The last batch of 666 were sized incorrectly.  We updated the measurements on the IH.UK site to reflect these actual measurements.  A) SE may not have updated their measurements and We use different processes to measure our jeans, both SE and we articulate our way of measuring the jeans on the respective websites.
Re: stretch.  Yes

Welp pulled the trigger on a size 31 in these jeans.  Thoughts on my fit post soak and not even a day of wear?  Still deciding on if I should send them to SE for a hem or not.  Sorry for the bad quality pic but here they are:

id give em another soak or a hot wash before hemmimg they still have some shrinkage left in them

[Isquach]

Yeah thought about that also because I only did a lightly warm soak.  Didn't want to shrink the waist/thigh too much but wanted to still get the initial soak out of the way.  Another cooler one or a hot soak?  And would it be weird to only soak the legs and not the top block to get more inseam stretch but keep the top block where it is now?

Wear them for a month. Wash (in a washing machine @ 40 or even 50 C°), get 'm hemmed…

[tatmantall]

The shrinkage is going to eventually happen any way you slice it. By using cool soaks your just prolonging the inevitable. I do exactly what Seul suggested put it in a hot wash. When you do this you will get the majority, if mot all, of the shrinkage out of the way. After that's all do e you can get down to gettin dirty with em!

Looks good now.  Wear em. Wash em.  Then wear em some more.  Then see what you're thinking.

Really considering purchasing another pair and sizing down due to the lack of shrinkage… Thought I had it fixed but these stretch out pretty easy  and just not happy with the fit in the top block of my 31s... Bummer :-\

Size 29 | One Soak, No Wash | Week 20

how much stretching do you think I can get in the thighs of these?  Bought a tagged size of 31 and the thighs measure 12" now.  I wanted to get more in the thighs of my jb0701 which measure 12" now.  Just trying to compare and seeing if another size/model will fit be better

[Finn666]

^ what about the IHxB-01? it's a bit wider in thigh, knee and hem! so should be perfect for you…

[Giles]

You'll get 1/2 inch or so with enough pressure

Does the 18oz denim have that smooth, velvety feel on the inside of the fabric, much like the 21oz has?  I love the 666 cut of my ducks, but not sure about which denim to go for.  21 oz is by far my favourite, so just wondering how this compares.

[hajduk]

the 18oz doesn´t have that feel.
i am really with you about the 21oz. this fabric is magic!
G, a production of the 666 cut with the 21oz denim, possible soon…?

[Giles]

It's possible, but we have a shit load of new jeans hitting over next few months, so I need to get that lot sorted first….

[Isquach]

So the IHxb01 is in between 666 and 634?  And I'm looking at the sizing and it looks like I'd get 33 maybe 32?  Because I love how the 666s fit from knee down but I just need a roomier upper block.  Maybe if I could somehow stretch the thighs an inch

[Giles]

Yes between
