What’s the ETA on a restock of these?
-
Finally got these to where I can wear them to work, I'm loving the way this material creases so hard.

555,666 and 777 early Oct. Don't think the 634 is happening….
Cheers G. How about the 888s, or do thunder thighs need not apply?

Looking for feedback on sizing in this model. Particularly interested in hearing from anyone wearing a 634S (21) or a 634S-B (21), how does the sizing compare? Neph, if you have the kind of specific feedback re this fabric that you had for the XHS, I'd love to hear it.

Assuming you own the 21oz 634’s you mention, and they fit well, this should be straightforward.
Simply measure the two pairs you own after a period og wear. Find the tagsize on the XHS model that is around the same or up to half an inch smaller in the waist than your worn pair. It will probably be the same tagsize but may be one down.
As for the denim, it is noticeably heavier. Quite stiff when new (also after the soak), but with wear gets very soft. It fades quicker and with higher contrast than the 21oz and has a vertical fading pattern.

What @neph93 said. Also, I wear a tagged 34" in the IH-634S and tagged 33" in the IH-634-XHS.

Found a tag 31
so what would you recommend , initial soak before wearing or wear straight out of the box ?? -
Most peeps on here will tell you to go ahead and give em a hot soak before wearing, to get rid of any shrinkage since these are sanforized, but unwashed. FWIW my 666XHS didn't really shrink at all when I washed them, maybe 1/4" in the waist if I remember correctly. But the soak is definitely a good idea bc it'll make sure your creases are in the same places once you wash em.
My XHS was pretty punishing at first, but softened up quickly, especially after I gave em their first wash.
-
ok , and how hot is hot ? 40 degrees celsius or more ?
-
Yes, I would guess so! I did it in the tub so I don't know exactly, but it was with the hot pretty much full on. I believe I've seen @neph93 say 40c as a rec for hot wash but I'll let him confirm.

Depends what you want and how you wash.
Getting shrinkage out is wise so as to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future.
40C will not get all the shrinkage out, but if you never plan on washing at more than that, and you only want a little shrinkage, then a 40C soak will do. Although they will probably shrink a little more with repeated washing.
As a rule of thumb when all the shrinkage is out (60C soak with agitation), and all the stretch from wear is done, they’ll end up a little bigger than they started. Probably half an inch.
