IH-666S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Slim Cut (The Devil's Fit)

[Morose_Penguin]

I went tts with a 30w, after I first tried them on I felt that a 31w would have been a lot easier. But now they are very comfortable. Outside of the 21oz I don't think any IH jean has become so comfortable, so fast. I think they've stretched around 0.2-0.4" already. And although I've done a lot of walking in the past few days, there has also been a lot of sitting down.

Reallyyy?? Thought you said you weren't getting them.

Knew it.

[derivative666]

Damn you! Stop quoting me! I'm weak dammnit I'm weak!

[Morose_Penguin]

The next run should be December, according to Zhivago, who asked Giles…

[Giles]

Yep

I know no one really knows how these will turn out. But what is everyone's thoughts on these compared to the 18oz ?  I know absolutely nothing about left hand twill besides it is smoother and lighter in color. But these do not look like either of those. Does left hand twill generally have a lower contrast fade than right hand twill ? I had a pair of 666S for a minute but the thighs were too small and i will have to size up if I decide to go with 18oz again. But the 19L measurements look pretty good for me.

Had to go retrieve my jeans from my office even though I am still technically on vacation. Stealth mode.

Love the fit on these. Soaking them now but here are a few pics presoak.

[mclaincausey]

My guess is that twill makes less of a difference than people think. Yarn properties and gauge, weave tension, how many dips and in what…  My hunch is that these make a bigger difference than the orientation of the serge.

But you hear LHT is flatter, has blurrier, more vertical fades (so I guess less contrasted). My LHT jeans are going to have serious contrast though.

EDIT: Summer those look fanrastic

[JamesMarg]

Awesome fit Summer!
You wear em perfectly.

The third picture highlights just how hairy these mothers are!

[tatmantall]

Those look bad ass man!

[summ3rhays]

I appreciate the kind words. My first pair hemmed short enough to stack rather than cuff. It was unnerving asking for a 32" inseam. I tried to capture how hairy they are, but it's tough with phone pics.

[JamesMarg]

I think i will be going the 32'' inseam on my pending pair of XHS's aswell!
I have my 555-01's hemmed to 33
And they are a bit long

May i ask how tall you are summer?

[Finn666]

def. the best fit so far buddy…what size are these? 36?

[summ3rhays]

Yes they are the 36. Waist is a little large, but a hot soak brought them down a touch.

I'm 6" tall, but have proportionately short legs.

[Seul]

Those look absolutely perfect on you, summ3r!..

[Morose_Penguin]

Some pics, because now I'm only limited by my "skill" rather than having to use my phone…

first touch of evo I noticed on Sunday morning

And one of the patch, because I really like it and I don't think I've posted one yet

And a terrible comparison with my VMCs

[JamesMarg]

Those combs are setting in nicely Morose!
In the last picture they look so light, and some white seems to be poking through already!?
Surely just the lighting?

[JamesMarg]

Oh wait….
I'll shut up, i didn't read the VMC's bit... HAHA

[Morose_Penguin]

Yep, the lighter pair are my IH666-VMC, over two years old now. You've just bought a pair as the IH666-XHS.
