IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[Max Power]

The 1955s might be another option for you (size 33 probably, as it stretches). The rise is significantly longer and the hem a bit wider than your nudies. The 666 could be a problem in the thighs (somehow I find them pretty narrow on all releases of the last weeks?).

[Dougie]

Thanks. I think the front and back rise might be too big a jump from what I'm used to wearing.

The TWXB01 is interesting, although I might ind the hem a bit wide. Has anyone got a pair?

I find it pretty hard to find a pair of denim.

If you go for a high backrise on a IH jean, the frontrise also will be much higher compared to your Nudies. The  Carhartt I wore before my first IH´s, had the same rise measurements as your Nudie. I could go with a lower backrise but I never get used to a frontrise higher than 10,5. When I got the WT-Busters, I wore them low in the front, but with the high rises they looked like baggy jeans on the back.

wow!
i hope mine will be like yours

nietenhosen's pics just sold me on a pair of these.  I realized last summer that MBB's and Texas weather don't mix so these should be the perfect weight for the majority of the year.

Well, I think I got the last pair - or I was one of the last to get them - in any case they appear to be extinct.  They are in the tub soaking… 

[Bluegrass]

Post soak… did not shrink much - just a bit in the waist but should stretch back to original 38".  Very crispy and stiff, but love the fabric so far - we'll see how it breaks in.  The rise is higher than the 666S which is a good thing for me, I like it.  And oboy are these suckers long!  The pair I got was almost 40" - even with the shrinkage I can double cuff these - a first!  I'm impressed.  I now have IH jeans in 14.5, 18, 21 and 23oz.

Looks right to me; how are you viewing it, Jeff?

[Bluegrass]

damn, it looks "normal" to me  - very strange!  Maybe its the lefty twill, haha!

[Giles]

Fine for me….
