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

[Giles]

Thought that it would be useful to give you sizing inf of my tagged 33's.  One hot soak and one weeks constant wear:

Waist    34
FR          10.5
RR          15
Thighb    12
Knee        8.5
Cuff        8.25
Inseam    36

I get more compliments in these jeans than any other pair I have ever owned - and I thought I was not a slim jean dude…..

Anybody here it wear the 666 in 34 waist?
I wear DC 4001 in 34 and i will try 666 in 34.
Beatle was sagst du?

Alex - I have not tried the DC4001…judging by thigh measurements (size 36, 666 12.1 /  34dc4 13 ) I am not sure that sizing up might be a solution

[Giles]

I wear 33 in both.  But the 666 took a load more effort to beat into submission…...

im 6ft 4" and i always buy 34" waist jeans and trousers and they fit me fine.

[ALEX1976]

I ll try a 34 and 36 waist!
I odered both on DC.de

The wrong one go back to Daniel:-)

Is soaking before wearing important?
Or can i wear them without soaking???

[Giles]

My personal view is that what your waist measures is to a great part academic.  My actual waist is way higher than the waist band of my jeans.  What is important is what a pair of jeans you have worn for a while actually measure and then make some informed adjustments depening upin the rise.

I get returns every day from people who either measure their actual waist or believe the tag-size bullshit on their existing jeans.  Example, I am having a pair of 34 634S retunred today because the customer wears a tag size 34 in a pair of Levis, the poor dude, could not even do the bottom button up, I suspect the actual measurements of those "34's" is closer to 37….........

They are raw and should be soaked…..

[ALEX1976]

Ok Giles;-)

I order both sizes and try!

[Giles]

Alex, make sure you look at the measurements of my 1 week old tag size 33 to understand what you may end up with in the 34 and 36….(somewhere up above)..........

[Beatle]

yes…...

if my waist measures exactly 30 inches should i buy size 29 or 30? i don't mind sizing down and stretching the tighter waist, but i also don't want it to be so tight that it won't stretch out to the 30.

thanks.

[Giles]

29 will go…..

I soaked it a couple of days ago, lt it dry until I put it on this morning, and I went WOW. This is the best fabric, so freaking stiff, the blue is so deep and dark. It is very elegant, no need for an OD'ing. I still rank the SR's a shade above because the weight is so impressive.

The lined pockets show an attention to detail I just love.

What's surprising is that the 34 waist is as snug as my 32 SR's. I'm sure it will stretch but it is definitely not a 34…

In any case, I'm curious to see how this one will age. Should be wonderful.

Beautiful, thank you so much Haraki and IH crew.
