IH-666L - The Devil's Left Hand

[mclaincausey]

I've seen that calico before and I can't recall where…

The whole back row looks like sugarcane tags or mr freedom, I'd take a hint @ 1 of the other.

Nice window makeup! Obbi, IH, SC, MFSC.

Calico should be post overalls, left above MF sportsman shirt Hickory right above should be MF ranchero calico and vest from Viva la revolucion.

The devils patch is really really nice

[Snowy]

^and this is why you're da man, nice one mate (hopefully no cheating by checking out in person xox )

[mclaincausey]

You're exactly goddamn right. Now that I hear it the memory is jogged.  Well done man!

And btw it's a nice calico hence it nearly surviving the Swiss cheese of my brain.

[Bluegrass]

wow davito, i am impressed!

[tatmantall]

I think a 634 cut in this denim would make my head explode.

[mclaincausey]

Heh I just noticed there's a Post label on the calico

[davito]

Haha guys no no cheating, yeah post overalls is a label on it hehe my elder eyes worked fine

Hmmm that devils Hand is my size

Tat this Devil cut would be nice for you, no?

[tatmantall]

I've considered it very strongly but the thigh is going to be cutting it REAL close. I'd be interested to hear personal experience with the stretch in that area on this denim of anyone has had any.

[tatmantall]

Davito got me thinking…. I wish there was a damn store like VMC or something close where I could try these on. MIDWEST USA blows.

Does anyone have a post soak measurement on a size 30 they would mind sharing?

[Giles]

I know it is not the real solution, but when Shoque implements UPS Returns, shipping stuff back to us will be very reasonable…

[tatmantall]

Definetly considering this idea. Thanks giles. Hopefully some measurements will be posted to push me over.

[theding]

If it helps; I have always struggled to find a good fit due to fairly big thighs vs my waist. The 634 cut is perfect but I still find the 666L very comfortable despite limited wear and so no real stretch so far.

[superfuzz]

Tatman, if it makes you feel any better. I don't think there's anywhere in the US where you can try these on!

[Giles]

Actually, that is a good point

[Bluegrass]

Agree with Tat, midwest U.S. is a wasteland as far as buying premium denim - and lots of other stuff too for that matter.  But I understand the market for these products is small.  But I still think if more people could see/touch/try on and compare IH products to the usual crap they buy/own, it would sell.

[mclaincausey]

Well if IH ever wants a stockist in the gold mine that is the Twin Cities (lowest unemployment of any major US city, big economy, lots of moneyed people that I think appreciate quality goods) I can think of several possibilities to try out.

[corporalclegg]

I could measure my sample pair with about 4 months or so of wear later on, I think g's original measurements are floating around to compare

We have a "premium" denim store with Stronghold and some others but they don't seem to sell anything well in store. A lot of good denim on clearance quite often.
