IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Mine were about a quarter to a half inch larger in the waist, and from wearing them to work in they've stretched about an inch and a half from the original 34 size. No soaks yet, so I don't know how much they will shrink back up.

my 38's were def .5 inch bigger then the chart said.. (38.5 instead of 38) i did find out ahead of time tho, paula checked em for me

I found the fit of these to be very similar to the Buster and nothing like my 666od. The rise is even a bit higher. The waist on my XHS was definitely a full inch bigger than the 34 tag size and are now about 35.5 - 36 after 6 mos of wear and one wash.
If this is your first pair, consider this… starting with the 25 oz denim at the beginning of the summer limits your ability to wear consistently for the next few months. Starting with a 21 oz Buster on the other hand allows you more wear time, and a frame of reference when you branch out to the newer fabrics like the 18 oz, 25 oz, whatever may come along in the future... which eventually you will.
