    I have a pair of 634S-SEXIH13 23oz from a few years ago (it was actually my first pair of really good selvedge denim jeans). I find that denim very similar to the 25oz XHS. Very dark, develops great vertical fading with an almost rice-like texture, high contrast fades. That denim bleed dye like mad. I had blue marks on walls, furniture, car seats, etc. Nearly everything it touched for the first couple of months had blue scuffs. Another gorgeous pair retired, only get rare wear due to the size 33 being too small. 34 was sold out by the time I got into this game.

    I didn't know Kiya's not a fan of the XHS. Personally, I think a 633-XHS would be a hot seller, but I'm just one consumer and I really have no idea what the broader market wants.

        @Giles - are the measurements that are posted still accurate for the newest lot? Thanks

          Well, plus or minus the usual, they are part of the same batch…

            @Giles Is a restock expected on these before things get all autumnal?

                Joined the IG-634-xhs club today, can’t wait for the fades to come in. I’ve been wearing my 666-xhs for a decent amount of time but wanted to try something new. Fit is a definitely looser than the 666s, but I’m not complaining, reminds me of all the things I love in the 888s. Plus I’m sure they’ll change a bit once I wash them. Debating doing a hot soak on these.

                Now and forever.

                  Sorry to be a redundant pain in the arse… what is the maximum amount of stretch i will be able to get out of the waist under pressure and possibly wet. If im going to spend this kind of $ on 2 pairs of pants i want to get it right the first time.

                    I'd say 1"….

                        Hopefully not for a few months that will give me time to get back to work

                          Fuck it I'm going to go with 34 or 35. How many pairs of 34s & 35s usually get restocked at once?

                            Varies greatly depending on how many pairs make it through QC, how many retailers are getting them etc.

                              Ok i will try to make this the last question. I know in the description it says "could shrink up to one inch" does this mean that if i wash on hot water they will shrink that much? Does anyone have any experience with shrinkage in this pair?

                                If you cold wash and hang dry… shrinkage will be negligible. I buy all my IH jeans so they fit like I want prior to a wash. Then just cold wash in the machine and hang dry. Worked so far for me. They will actually stretch out a bit bigger than new.

                                    Page numbers are irrelevant, the number of posts viewable per page is a user-defined variable.

                                    Shrinkage is not a science, in general, stuff shrinks more in the US than it does in Europe than it does in Japan.  This is due to different washing methods.

                                      If you scour all the XHS threads (as I once did) you’ll see a variance in reported shrinkage from very little up to an inch. It seems most people fall around .5”. The variations can be attributed to differences in washing machines, soaking times, temperatures, amount of agitation/machine rpm’s and so on.

                                      One rule of thumb with the XHS is that with shrinkage and subsequent wear they should end up a little bigger than starting measurements (but not much).

                                        My s510xx are tagged 34 they measure a little over 35 after 7 months and 3 or 4 washes. What size would you guys go with in the 634-xhs

                                          If you’re happy with the 35” waist I’d go with a starting waist of between 34” and 34.5”. It’ll drop down with the hot soak and stretch an inch with wear.
