IH-666S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Appreciate that massively! The reason I got my 8’s was mainly because we were out of stock of my tag size of the 666s-21 and the 666-XHS and I really wanted to change it up and have a smaller hem opening to contrast my 634S. Even thou I love them both equally. I def feel I lean more towards the 666 and I will have a pair in the next few weeks I promise.

Hey guys, just scored a pair of these in and they are amazing. How much stretch can I expect in the thighs? They are a touch tight right now but I'm hoping they relax and loosen a bit because everything else is perfect.

It is 21oz so they will relax and loosen. Calling it stretch is a little strong. Wear them for your everyday activity and it sounds like you’ll be fine. Personally I think a little tightness in the 21oz at the start is a good thing.
The heaviness of the denim increases the feeling of tightness. Once you get used to it and the denim relaxes it sounds like you’ll be fine.
Get a couples of pics up if you’re unsure. A little third party opinion never hurts.

Agreed. If you can ‘just’ button them up and they feel snug to the point of “barely fitting in them” then they’ll eventually fit you perfect. You’ll walk around like the tinman following the yellow brick road for the first few hours but the denim does relax quite a bit. Be warned that eventually you’ll consider this weight of denim normal and anything lighter will feel like tissue paper in comparison.

Been wearing them all day at my desk job and the thighs definitely still feel tight when I'm sitting down. Feels okay when walking but my drive home was uncomfortable.

It's really the thighs that are concerning me since the waist buttons up somewhat easily.

I do recall the thighs on mine being the last to stretch out as well as the pockets were borderline unusable. The waist does stretch a lot so I’d insist on getting a properly fitting belt.

How many days wear? You’re looking at a week or two of discomfort before the thighs relax.

Knight and Neph, thanks for the advice. I will report back in about a week. Normally my wife would take a pic but I just told I bought these and she isn't too stoked about it…hehe....

Mine are about 18 months old and I’d say the first 3 months I couldn’t even get my fingers in to the front pockets and my thighs were constantly under pressure but this eventually relaxed.
Have faith, the main thing is that you could ‘just’ squeeze in to them brand new so I’ll bet my bottom dollar they’ll mould to you perfectly.

Hah it's only been 3 wears and the thighs are still tight but I THINK the waist is stretching! The denim is probably the coolest I've ever handled so I'm going to stick it out. I want to experience this denim molding to my body!

That is exactly the required attitude. Good man.
