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

[Spring Son of Light]

@derivative666:

Reason inline them better is they aren't as snug in the calf.

Interesting to hear this opinion. These would be my PERFECT and ultimate jean if they had about an inch or so smaller opening. Now, I know this isn't the idea of them, I'm just saying. The 555 has the type of leg opening I like but not the right top block. I love that vintage (in my eyes anyway) tight top block of the 666 and the fairly low rise (I also recognize one needs to have a smallish waist size to achieve this look). I'm going to get a pair in 31 so that should do the trick.

Plus, the truth is, I love the pocket arcs, and that is my biggest deterrent to the 555-02 versus the 666s. It's all in the details. 

Edit: also, I need that extra length otherwise they would end up looking like bell bottoms on me due to my height.

Wearing my Devil's now a year on and after a few washes and lots of daily wear. Time to take some pics when the sun comes out. Love the fit, cut and the 18oz denim. While my 634 raws are for mooching these are my go to guys. Fades are so intricate and subtle.

When the sizing is per the initial runs, this cut is fucking amazing.

[Finn666]

these are a 34 right?

damn, can't believe you actually wear/wore XXL flannels and all…these do look brilliant. imo you could almost size one down from what i see
congrats brother!

Thanks, cut/fit looks amazing on you, was worth seeing for sure. Love your dog's sniffing about in the BG still - such a cutie :).

Rafa, the thighs are 12.2, that's about all I can do, but your right, the knee to hem could lose a little more. I like a straight cut, but without the extra fabric.  I think the '66 style cut is what I've been looking for the whole time.  As for shirts, I'm not wearing an undershirt with my 44, that's why it seems a little big.

Snowy, that's my girls dog Andy, he's named after Andrew WK. no idea why.

Looking great Mike

Hey fellas. I'm tempted to buy a pair of worn 666S but can't figure out if they'll stretch to fit me. They are tag sized 33 from the second run and have been soaked at 40°. They now have a waist of just under 34 inches (86cm). I take a w34 in the 634S and it's perfect (has stretched out to 35 inches - 90cm). Will the 18oz stretch out another inch?
All help greatly appreciated:)

maybe he likes to party hard?!

fit looks great and an 0.5" hem should take care of the rest. need to worry though
and about the XXL thingy…remember like a year or so ago, that 56 you had was a XXL, if not XXXL right?
looks like you finally found your sizes...which is great! keep at it!

@bertoni - do you need them to stretch to a 35 or are you good at 34? And, the 18oz Devils can stretch a decent amount in the waist - it's the thighs you need to worry about.

[bertoni]

Zwer: I need them to stretch to a 35 inch waist. Am holding off from eating all the pies but the odd biscuit still makes it's way through…35 inch waist needed. Would I be better getting a w34 pair?

[zwer]

Looking at the size chart, you should be okay with a 33. While the waist shrinks with the initial soak, it typically stretches back to the pre-soak size with wear.

Are you sure you're okay with the thigh measurements, though? Thighs are not nearly as forgiving as the waist.

[bertoni]

@Zwer: Recently got some Orslow cargo pants that have 12 inch thighs and theyre cool. Never before had such skinny pants but kinda like'em. Thanks for your help mate.

[Winchy]

OK, the sizing tabs have been updated for these now. Sorry for the delay.

[Seul]

Thanks Winchy!..

[davito]

@bertoni I am with zwer take care of your thighs. As the denim is unsanforised and i understand the jeans is soaked so far, there will probably be some lil shrinkage left in a later machine wash. In total you can count approx 3% shrinkage horizontally and vertically with agitation in the machine imho. Thigh stretching in the 18 oz is pretty hard imo. Like zwer explained waist is usually no prob. Good luck
