IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
During the weekend it was time to clean and tidy up the roof terrace and the area around the block I live in. Wearing my new 666 I volunteered for the jobs that required a lot of bending down and sitting on the knees. We were at it for five hours on Saturday and it was a great way to start breaking in the beast (which is what I’m calling them now). Of course at the end of the day I my skin was red from the hips down to my upper thighs. But no pain, no gain. They have already comformed a bit to my body.
Here is a pic from the session. I had to stop cuffing the beast because there was a lot of dirt and old leaves accumulating in the cuff.
When it came to buttoning the pants I gave up doing it with just my hands, so I jammed in a plastic spike-thingy with no sharp edges and turned it around a couple of times in each hole. That helped somewhat, but they are still not easy to button.
Hajduk: Sure, I’m always up for beer.
Veintiuno: I’m not sure I’m going to soak them. I feel I got a headstart in breaking them in and I’m afraid a soak will ruin that.
Wearoften: Nice!

Pushranger,
Didn't soak mine. Shoe horned myself into them and wear them everyday at work in body shop/panel shop. I un-cuff when I weld, don't want to catch splatter in the cuff, the 25oz makes a good welding blanket !
Looking good, wear'em

Hey all.
So I invested in my first pair of Iron Hearts about three weeks ago. 666xhs in a 33 waist. Mostly love 'em, the denim, colour, toughness and quality is top notch, as you all know.
Alas, I'm trying my hardest to fall in love with the cut. Everything from the knee up - perfect! But I'm blessed with a power-lifter's thighs and ballerina's feet, so I can't escape the feeling that I could get a bit more taper from the knee down to about a 7.5inch leg opening. I won't change the length 'cause I like to change the cuff depending on footwear. I've got a good tailor who'd do a cracking job, but I'd love to get a few other opinions before I make the call. I know I'm being pedantic, but half a gorilla is big $ for a pair of jeans (for me) and I don't wanna rush into anything.
Here's some shots, all post-soak, some a week in, the others 3 weeks.
Ps. I'm glad none of my housemates sprung me prancing around taking photos of myself in the back yard.

half a gorilla
i think the fit looks good, if you have someone you have faith in doing the job give it a go so you can be truly satisfied with your purchase. nothing like spending hard earned cash & not being happy with your purchase
what ever you decide enjoy them, as you can see from seul the denim is really nice

They look great. If anything, you could use a bit of a hem, maybe an inch or so. But they look fine as is.
