…and the 666 cut as well.

Damn, I hope the denim itself isn’t endangered.

I'm not sure….I'm on the fence....I'm sure with wear I'd fall off the fence

Ok. Well I’m already on record with my vote, but I’m definitely not in a hurry. I have plenty of IH denim to wear in the meantime.
Btw, whoever got the sample pair should post some updates in this thread.

The jeans have had about 60+ days of normal wear and have just had their first machine wash. The first thing to say is that this is quite unique and luxurious denim. The brown weft gives a much richer, warmer colour. The softness and weight means thick, rounded creases at the knees and front top block, and it drapes beautifully. It’s weighty, tough but comfortable all at the same time. It certainly doesn’t have the stiffness if the 21oz super black or SBG denims. As with the indigo 21oz it will age wonderfully with time, I’m sure. I love wearing these jeans.
It's worth mentioning that this denim isn’t super quick to fade, nor will it give very high contrast fading. It’s IH classic 21oz which is stubborn to begin with, and secondly the black dye doesn’t seem to come out as easily as indigo. Finally, the brown weft means the contrast is more subdued.
That isn’t to say it doesn’t fade at all. The attatched pictures show my wallet pocket and the beginnings of roping:
