IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[Bluegrass]

Mine only shrunk 1" in the waist and quickly stretched back out - and maybe only 1" or less in length.  Actually it does not seem like mine shrunk (shrank? shrinked?) much at all.  I haven't found that IH raws shrink as much as other raws I have (Roy, RJB). I thought about a 40 but I'm glad I kept these. They just didn't shrink much at all.  I used hot tap water, agitated, for about 15 minutes.

So I might just keep them and do a soak and hopefully they stretch out

[Bluegrass]

If you can wear comfortably as they are, in the raw state, I think you should be OK.  But if they are uncomfortably tight before the soak, for sure I'd send em back…

I think I should be ok, thanks guys!!

Is this denim and the 634s-19oz left hand twill the same thing?  I love the way these are fading. But 666 don't fit my thighs.
Thx

[Giles]

No completely different.

I feel your pain. The 666L were the first IH I bought. Soon realised I was being optimistic about the fit. They are hands down the best looking jean I've ever seen.

Incredible! Such amazing color, especially against the yellow stitching(I don't know why I find that so appealing)!
