@indigo_nico yep you're correct. They'll stretch back out with some wear for sure

My pair didn’t shrink nearly as much as I expected, even when washed at 40 degrees after a hot soak with agitation.

Heck yes. Wearing today at work because I was too excited to wait to soak, but I’ll give them a hot soak tonight. Loving the feel of this denim right out of the gate - especially in the frozen Chicago tundra!

555 top block with 888 thighs would be my ideal cut I think.

I actually measured mine again today. Was 33.9” waist when new, then soaked and washed and worn for about a month. They are now 34.2” waist.

@V-P did you get any noticeable shrinkage in the thighs? if so, do you feel like they stretched back out to pre-soak? that was really my only concern. current state (pre-soak) they feel pretty perfect. i'm totally capable of some discomfort en route back to a pre-soak fit!

@indigo_nico. From my experience with multiple IH-25XHS the only thing that doesn't come back to pre soak measurements is any shrinkage in the length the shrinkage innthe width always came back

[V-P]

@indigo_nico Yes, they shrunk in the thighs. Not sure if they are back where they were but they are wider now than after washing.
