[Giles]

Gure,  I'd go with the 33, they'll be a little painful to start with but should end up just right…..That is, if you did measure them like this:

not exactly in focus, but i'm rocking my 25oz'ers in this shot.

Nice style you´re rocking in general.

[derivative666]

Just started putting some time in these. I love them. Update at the end of the month.

[Seul]

Mine are so SOFT… It's ridiculous... 25 oz jeans and they're softer than flannel pjs...

Damn straight Seul!

I just picked up a pair of these as well. Since this winter doesn't want to end, I should still have a good month or two to do some work on them. Should I give them a good soak first? They're pretty damn stiff.

[Haddtoo 555]

You could, but no need to soak… They will just tighten up a bit, the starch will wane and leave a ring in the tub...part of the fun !    IMO

I did a wash and then started wearing

Breaking these is part of the experience in my opinion. The torture is proportional to what someone went through producing them, folks risked injury to give you this denim

[PSB]

I've been wearing my 633s for the last few days to break them in after an initial soak, but tonight I put my XHS Devils back on and I was reminded that I may never like another pair of jeans more.

I like switching up cuts and fabric to keep things interesting, but this pair is my denim best friend.

Waiting on the Mrs, trying to get out of the house. Killing time with 25oz porn.

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…

[Giles]

Yes, they seem to, but all the measurements are under the "sizing" tabs, so you can double check the differences for your particular tag size.

[jdl1279]

A drunken beer bath results in a 3 month wash. Contrast is a bit brighter than pics show. Fit is back in shape too, maybe even a bit better than new.

@jdl1279:

I'd like for us all to pause for a moment to appreciate these shoes.

[Snowy]

I'd like to hear more about the beer bath! Jeans look like they're just starting to open up

[jdl1279]

xtc,
Those are probably my favorite shoes, the natty moosehide is soft as butter.

Snowy,
Not as interesting as you might hope. Went out for the Mrs bday, drank a bit much, and fumbled a half glass of Oberon.

[Snowy]

ah shit. Thanks for the honesty ::)
