Which size would Giles wear?

[Giles]

He wouldn't….He can't get them over his calves.....

@neph93:

I'm trying to make my mind up about packers or jobmasters for my next boot. Was leaning towards jobmasters but they look fantastic.

I'm considering job masters with packer uppers @neph93

Are these the same as the 525 cut shown on the IH Japan website? Same pocketbags and arcuates, but different patch it seems.

[Alex]

yes

[SteelBeast98]

Shoot.  Came here on word of a 555-XHS equivalent, but it looks like I'm right about in the middle between the size 28 and 29…stupid hourglass figure.  (I really DID nail the sizing on the 555-BLK...)

Got a size 28 with a slightly larger waist?  PM me if so!

@Alex screwed my order up on these. Need a 38 not 40. I sent you an email about it. But I wanted to grab your attention. My bad.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks man. You are my hero.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

It is gonna be a long, hard road breaking these in… I can easily button them. But sitting down... OMG.

The craftsmanship on these is pretty amazing. I particularly love the softness of the inside of the black Wabash pocket bags.
Most excellent guys. I love them and the Faith teacore belt is perfect with them. It will be neat to see how the belt and the jeans evolve together.

The stealth arcs are my favorite.

The belt, 18 oz CPO, and the jeans weighed a whopping 7.8 lbs.

That a can of skoal in your back pocket. Christ I miss that stuff. Quit 3 years ago.

And those jeans are really great.

[Alex]

Those are Kasai's, not mine so I am not sure.

I do know that he has been running a few miles to and from work in them to set the creases though…

[Matty123]

Damn. I need to start running in mine as well!

[Dion]

They develop some pretty nice creases very fast because of the knee measurements and the thick denim.

Just picked up a pair of these to become my dailies. Purposefully sized up to give me some "flexibility" in being a dad, weight gain/loss and actually having the ability to bend over etc.

What's the consensus on soaking with these? I can button the top button now but also don't want them to become saggy. Since they're sanforized, they may not need a soak? Also want to keep them as dark as possible…

[neph93]

Lightly sanforised so they will shrink a little. I didn’t bother washing/soaking my 666XHS until they had 3 months wear on them. When I did they lost about half an inch in the waist and nearly an inch in length. No biggie but the fades behind the knees didn’t quite match after the wash.

They are by no means ruined, and I still wear them, but if and when I buy another pair I’ll hot soak first.

Thanks. I was talking to Alex or Adam via email and I one of them seemed to not recommend hot soaking. Thoughts vs cold?

[Giles]

I think @Alex said that if you soaked them, they could not be returned, not that you could not…....Lost in translation?

[Johnny Bravvo]

Yes, that would be a no duh moment on my part. Just curious what seems to be the going wisdom with XHS and hot vs cold soak…
