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

[waffles]

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.

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.

1hr hotsoak with a piece of wood for minimal waist shinkage

Now got to go to the taylor for a proper hemming. Still hesitating for a second soak.

As usual, G. was super helpful/patient. Great jean, great service . Thank you !

I think this particular denim will have insane amount of vertical falling

[Giles]

I'm off to sunny (very) climes for 4 weeks tomorrow.  Just hope that I will be able to give the 666 the proper amount of attention whilst I am away.  As a back up, I have butchered a pair of FreeBee 101's - they're now shorts…...........

Enjoy the sun…........

Thanks for the close-ups beats. You can see that this fabric is really special, much more slubby and hairy than on the regular 21 oz.

Hi, I decided to do a few squats the other day on my first wear and heard a small tear. A few threads along the inseam at the base of the crotch have loosened. Not a crazy amount, but enough for me to wonder if this could be a problem. I did my best with the pics.

[Big Eyed Fish]

It's ok
My Gf's pair r the same. There won't be any problems.

[waffles]

haha thanks. i don't know why this had me so worried.

[jimmy]

from the pic looks like it's missing a bar tack. or does the devils fit don't have it to start with?

[nietenhosen]

as my 666 arrived, I missed that bartack, too.
after twelve days of wear I noticed this:


one seam has loosened in the crotch… disappoining.
but it doesen't matter, just took a needle and stitched that together. now it's rugged again.

[jimmy]

nietenhosen: i wouldn't worry about that, there is no pressure on that stich line as it's under the top stich.

This is how my friend Sulu described his new 666s jeans to the local newspaper…

"Iron Heart Jeans

These are a 40th Birthday present from my very good friend Hemi Pou. These are premium Japanese denim jeans and for denim aficionados there is nothing else. Wearing and breaking in a brand new pair of these is akin to making unconditional and glorious love to a virgin. Apparently."

... he is a little disturbed!
