Hogg, you really wanna take a closer look at the Beatle buster. I think it might be what you're looking for. If you notice there are different measurements for the raw 18oz buster vs the 21oz buster.

[Geeman]

555 is the slimmest cut. The rear rise is a little to high for the cut and ends up sagging on me, if it weren't for that I'd probably get a second pair.

[dwilson123]

Yeah I have a pair of 666's and Beatles and I prefer the latter.  The 666's are pretty tight in the thighs for me and the rise is a touch awkward for me.  Its a shame because I love the 25oz fabric so I wish I could wear the 666's more but they're just a bit too uncomfortable.

 

I also heard somewhere that Japanese 666's maybe slimmer than for-export 666's?  I haven't really done any legwork (pun) to figure out if that is true.  I purchased them from Vari so they'd be Japanese models.

[bugula]

Thanks bugula, useful info. By the sounds I'm going to want more room than they're cut for.. I think this is going to prove tricky.  

 

yeah, wish i'd gotten the 666 to help compare to.

 

i do have the SExIH301s though...not sure if that comparison would be helpful.

Those two Holy Grail items deserve an eternal life for sure.

I just can't stop watching those beauties reflecting the full power of natural denim evolution at its best.

IHSH-127 in XXXL, which fits like the usual IH XXL size sort of. 

 

[Max Power]

Looks like it would benefit from a hot wash.

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah looks a bit big. Give a hot wash 

 

I went with my usual XL in these hoping they don't come up too small. The measurements looked pretty good just the shoulders were a bit smaller than i would of liked...

^Exactly my sentiments. But I'll try an XL as well.

Just picked up a pair of 666-XHS from IHUK. This moment is long overdue...

These remind me a lot of my SEXIHXLSXA13's when they were new. The denim is so thick and rigid and dark. I didn't have quite as tough of an experience as some people have, but this denim is no joke. It's going to take me forever to tame these things. Next pics will be after a soak/wash and a full day's wear.

IHSH-127 and PBJs x-post

 

[everyinchofgod]

Head over heels already...

[Raoul Duke]

They are interesting jeans to wear.  Even after 2 preliminary soaks, they were stiff as hell.  About a month in of light wear in now and they are starting to soften up a bit and fall more naturally. 

[mpukas]

forgive my ingnorance and lack of searching - what's the difference between the 634SR and 634-UHR? The denim is the same, no - 21/23oz? Buttons and hardware look different, different patch, different measurements, different arcs. Anything else significant? Cheers! mpp

[SuperJackle]

Well the SR is no longer made, but the UHR is the same denim and aside from the differences in details, the fit of the SR was a little different than the 634s. I can't say if the UHR has a different fit though.

[Max Power]

The S/R was the anniversary model. It has the 21/23 oz raw denim and a slightly different cut than the 634 (but then all 634 iterations are slightly different). The UHR denim was made to the specs of the SR last year as the SR was sold out. And, to add to the confusion, the UHR is still called SR in Japan, as far as i know.

[SuperJackle]

That's interesting max, I got my pair of SR from rodeo bros, and thought they were deadstock. Maybe my pair is UHR.

[Max Power]

I think Giles mentioned it a while ago and in the most recent lightning denim issue the SR's are featured as new model, so they might be a recent release. And the details like copper Buttons and different arcs are still used on that model.

666-XHS fit pics after a couple days wear:

[El fanático]

Nice everyinchofgod. How is the fit compared to those SEXIHXLSXA13's? Haven't seen you post any updates on that pair in a while. 

[everyinchofgod]

Pretty similar fit, but I think the SEXIHXLSXA13's are just a touch slimmer from the mid-thigh down and have a lower rise. They've been retired for the summer since the HWDC2 ended, but now that it's starting to cool off a bit, they'll be in rotation with my 666-XHS soon.

[IDIOT BITCH]

DWCxUHR at five months. Freshly cleaned~

 

 

[KrisB]

fuck yeah^

[Max Power]

Size 36 816DD after having them hemmed. The cuffs look sloppy and are stiff as hell, I hope they'll settle with some wear. They are super comfy and relaxed, like sweatpants (if it wasn't for the stiff material). Being onewash certainly helps to get a softer feel, but the're still rigid.






Favorite details: the back and slash pockets and the blue thread which makes this pair so much more appealing to me than the bright contrasting threads on the 634DD.
