Just to clarify: the measurements above are pre-soak right? (Just asking because they look like the measurements on sanforized or post soaked 555s). Thanks

@Chesson:

Hey G - since you are an XL in this shirt, would you recommend to (generally) go one size up?

Yes about an inch in the waist and an inch of inseam lost after a hot soak. The waist stretches back pretty fast. This denim fades high contrast very fast. Amazing bright blue under the deep dark indigo.

ok cool. thanks G. seems like some are sizing down one… all good.

Thanks pP! Are people getting their normal 666 size or sizing down one from the 666XHS or 666S?

I am usually a size 34 in the 666 cuts but it looks like people are sizing down on these. Also, looks like the waist stretches back pretty fast. Any advice? How much shrinking do people get post-soak in the thigh area? I need at least 12'' in the thigh in order to make a size 33 work. Thanks!

G - what IH denim are you wearing in that pic??

@Giles:

Giles wears XL:

Does the 666XHS fit the same as the 666S.
I have seen some people say that the XHS is a bit more relaxed than the S…

Thanks. Will post fit pics once I have tamed the XHS a bit.

Thanks - this is helpful. But will require some suffering. They will stretch an inch?

Also - are you guys soaking these before wearing. I know they are sanforized already so…?
