IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)

[Seul]

Levi's sz 32 could be close to a 34" actually after some wear… So the 33 should be ok...

[Jaylaz]

So am I right in thinking the 33's start off at 34 waist then shrink to 33 after a soak but stretch back out to 34 waist with a bit of wear?  Then do they shrink back again after a wash or remain at about waist 34?  Sorry, want to get this right!

[Seul]

33 is 34 before a wash (or soak), 33-ish after one, and will get back to 34-ish after some wear… They might shrink a little bit after another wash, but that will only be temporarily...

[Jaylaz]

Sounds good to me, thanks for putting my mind at rest.

@Jaylaz you’ve certainly made an excellent choice for your first pair of raw's! My first pair were far inferior jeans.
They’ll be perfect.

[Giles]

They'll shrink back a little with subsequent washes, but not as much and will stretch back out again quicker

Hi Giles,

I use SEXIHINDO in 31 but feel so tight at thigh, what sizes I should cop for this amazing pair?

[Giles]

What do your SEXIHINDO measure in the waist now, the way we measure?

lokking at the numbers are these a litle bigger in the thigh compared to a beatle thigh

Personally I think a size down would make these jeans fit virtually identically to the buster, but with a little more taper. My busters are 34 and I think I’d get a 33 (or even 32) with these.

[elgordito]

if that is the case not sizing down might be perfect was looking at the 666 25 oz but was worried about the thigh, but the extra room on these might work better

Got my UHR yesterday!
Lovely denim. I love the colour and feel of them.

I picked the IH-666UHR in size 34 (35, 88.9).
They were not as tight in the waist as I remembered my 666S (size 33 (35, 88.9cm)) was.
I had to struggle to get the 666S buttoned up the first time I tried them on pre soak. I did not have to do that with these.
The thighs are also a bit bigger on the UHR, But I did know that. I just went for waist size as prio 1.
Now I am trying to figure out if I should return them for a size smaller. Thighs are probably better in a 33.
Gha! decisions.

What are your take!?

Yeah I know. Stupid pose. I am standing on my toes so that I do not create any creases or anything when trying them out.

[Max Power]

It might help to see them in better light an a normal pose. But I think they are fine. just the fit I would be aiming for presoak.

[Giles]

I agree with Max

[nizzel55]

Ok. Dunno if the pictures are better or worse then the ones I posted before.
Mobile phone pictures.

So what do you think?

I think they are fine for pre-soak fit.

[Slubbingman]

About to order these but I'm conflicted between 32 and 33 (TTS).

My current pair PBJ XX-012 size 33:
thigh 12.25
knee 8.25

This is spot on and I'd like IH-666-UHR to be as close as possible in the long run. How's the post-wash stretching on these?

Giles' shrink test pair's (size 34) thigh shrank 12.5 -> 12.1 so I think going with 33 might be for the best.
