IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

If I get these tight fitting at the start, will I be able to stretch the waist 1.5 inches, or am I dreaming?

[Giles]

I think expecting an inch and a half will be a stretch (sic).  But am going to re look at sizing today, I have a feeling the actual waist size i ls larger than the chart suggets,  And Paula will be back to you later today to answer your question of the week end.

[RocknRoll]

No worries mate!

Paula just getting the 666's off the shelves…

Did that come to you after me having mentioned it 15-20 times?.. 

[Giles]

No, I ignore you.  Some one else mentioned it…....

Mine were about a quarter to a half inch larger in the waist, and from wearing them to work in they've stretched about an inch and a half from the original 34 size. No soaks yet, so I don't know how much they will shrink back up.

my 38's were def .5 inch bigger then the chart said.. (38.5 instead of 38) i did find out ahead of time tho, paula checked em for me 

[Masse]

Looks like it´s a no-go for me. Size 34 thigh measures 31,1 cm now. And size 36´s waist is too big. Damn. I was almost in love with these jeans.

[Giles]

Do you own any other IH jeans, if so what size?

Nope… these were supposed to be my first pair.

'ave a look the Beatle Busters!..

I found the fit of these to be very similar to the Buster and nothing like my 666od.  The rise is even a bit higher.  The waist on my XHS was definitely a full inch bigger than the 34 tag size and are now about 35.5 - 36 after 6 mos of wear and one wash.

If this is your first pair, consider this… starting with the 25 oz denim at the beginning of the summer limits your ability to wear consistently for the next few months.  Starting with a 21 oz Buster on the other hand allows you more wear time, and a frame of reference when you branch out to the newer fabrics like the 18 oz, 25 oz, whatever may come along in the future... which eventually you will.

agree

Did you guys remeasure the thighs?  The original batch had larger thighs than the normal 666s.  Wanted to see if this changed in the 2nd batch.  thanks much.

[RocknRoll]

Yep, the size tables have bee updated. Giles and Paula did a complete re-measure of the current 666XHS and 634XHS stock.

DD, you have inspired me to get a pair of these. I've been eyeing them off for such a long time, but your regular fit pics are giving me the extra motivation I need.

The fit you get is exactly what I'm after…time will tell if I can make it work as well as you do!

[Dirty Denim]

Ty so much..I think these are def an everyday run around town pair of jeans..U will love em more than u know
