      Please don't JCM, they will look much better on you fitting snugly.

      Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

        @JCMx800:

        Should I size one up? My 634S in 32x34 fit´s pretty perfect, I could wear em without a belt. Does the XHS stretch a little bit?

        I( wear same size in S as in XHS

          Well at first I wasn't convinced id be able to pull off this fit- but it looks like us chicken-legged fecks can do it too!

          Blown away by the denim, loving having a not so skinny fit (I feel it fits me like a 1940s 501), currently going through the first phase of hip pain. Stoked to be a part of the cardboard pants club!  😘

              Thanks Ms G!

              Question to those of you who soak/wash the 25 oz: did you do it before really wearing them? I'm thinking of breaking them in for a week and then doing a cold soak to help prolong life and avoid rips at the cuff creases, etc. gentle cold soak should work? Or is this just myth?

                  Well either way. I know it's been discussed, but I always appreciate input the longer people having been wearing the denim. I don't have a tub at the moment so I may just say fuck it until the first wash. But I'd really hate to see tears at the cuffs… I'm also not convinced a preemptive soak will do anything to mitigate that.

                      I do it with all my jeans. Unnecessary or not, I like the peace of mind

                      You don't have to use a tub. I use a large paint bucket I bought at the hardware store for a couple bucks

                        Good idea. Just cram them in there? Inside out?

                              SSoL: I would advice to soak 'm prior to wearing.

                                  Soak em, it will settle the seams and stuff like that.

                                    Is turning them inside out really necessary for just a cold soak?

                                      No, not for a soak. Only if you're machine washing do you need to turn them inside out.

                                        But it doesn't hurt and it's not that much work

                                        My take: it's added value to turn them inside out

                                          Well I soaked these last night and am currently in an epic battle. So far, the tally goes:

                                          25 oz: 1
                                          Me: 0

                                          I can barely type my fingers hurt so badly, and my hips are seriously sore. I shall persevere! I was able to button them all the way up after the cold soak (which did shrink them a wee bit). Granted, I had to do the top button lying down…

                                          Anyways, I know I can conquer them! Just need more time. Off to scrub the indigo off my nails..
