      @LewisStonehouse That is a solid fit my man. Like others have said I wish the 634 fit me like that.

      I would soak those sooner rather than later though, my XHS shrank an inch when I initially soaked them.

        Thanks @Palmer. I was going to get them in the bath in the next few days for a soak in cold water, maybe for half an hour. Hoping the shrinkage will be fairly minimal, but even if I get an inch of shrink I'm sure they'll stretch back out  🙂

          I doubt you'll see much change at all with a cold soak. Wear them hard!

            @LewisStonehouse I would recommend a hot soak to get the shrinkage out… after a little discomfort they will stretch back to where they are now, possibly even a little bigger. That way you know where you are from the start and avoid potential fade shift down the line.

            That being said, I didn't soak my first pair of XHS and they came out nice in the end: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1819.msg640752#msg640752

              Thanks @neph93, I shall do as you say, but I can't promise I won't curse your name as I'm stretching them back out of again. How hot is hot, 60c ish?

                You don’t have to do anything you don’t want too, they are yours. My thinking is that unless you’re one of those “interesting” types who really never ever wash their jeans, yours will get a wash at some point. Then you’re back to square one, because the potential for shrinkage won’t have gone away. So why not just get it over with?

                If you want to play it safe, then soak them on the same temp as you will wash them eventually, normally 40C. But 60C will certainly get the job done.

                  Yeah I'll be washing them at some point, would probably wash at 30 or 40, so if I soak at 40c then I onow where I am. Thanks for your help pal!

                    Exactly! Use a bath tub. Flip them and straighten out any creases. Soak for at least an hour but not more than two. Half way through agitate them in the water then straighten/de-crease them again for the remainder. Air dry, and Robert’s your father’s brother.

                            I’ll echo what @Jett129 wrote earlier and express my surprise at the fit. They don’t look like a traditional 634. I mean that in a good way, I love your fit. The thighs look a little snug, but they will give and stretch.

                            I think it can be said for most denim but is undoubtedly true of the XHS, don’t judge your fit now, but rather wait for a few weeks wear. I think you’ll be onto a winner.

                              Thanks chaps. The thighs feel a little snug now but I love how they fit. I thought I would have these but be waiting to try the 888, but I think they're my cut. I have weird legs, and have always struggled to get flattering trousers, so can't express how happy I am with these.

                              Also, y'all are really lovely and great for bolstering a chap's confidence. Glad I came on here and started posting cringe picture of myself in the living room  🙂

                                    I haven't measured them, but from recuffing I think it's a touch over half an inch

                                          Man hadn't worn these in a minute and slapped them back on with my IHB-08. Totally rad. After wearing 21oz for some years now, I have to wear 25oz to feel like I'm wearing heavy duty denim…  😃

                                            …hello blokes,

                                            just soaked my first pair of Iron Hearts after three weeks of wear, pulled them out of the tub and the outside rivet of my change pocket came off.

                                            Do I need a special tool to get that back on or just a tack hammer?

                                            Thoughts?

                                            Thanks ,Rory
