IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

^Stellar

Xhs fades so beautifully

I thought my experience with the 555-XHSib would have prepared me for these, but the tighter top block on this cut has brutalized me over the last couple days! It cracks me up.

It cracks me up.
Or it’s up me crack… [emoji51] But yeah, the old hips get pretty bruised right?
Yep, the area of my legs under the pocket bags felt crazy when I was walking up a steep hill earlier. People passing by probably thought I had some sort of injury. The things we do for fadez.

Those look like the perfect non-cuffed length, @Chap

+1 I noticed the same thing, and thought ‘how did @Chap get that length so perfect?”. Please share your wisdom here.
I never managed to, not even being in IHUK in person to get mine hemmed. Good thing is it gives me another BIG reason to go back, this time with a load of jeans for re-hemming!Excellent look Chap

Thanks @going_to_battle @motojobobo no wisdom, sorry, just luck. To be honest I would love to have them half an inch or an inch longer to get some stacks… more shrinkage after a wash then I expected.
I was wearing my jeans unhemmed with cuffs until I realised how the denim usually breaks at the cuffs. I now wear them hemmed without cuffs and like to see some stacks too... so still trying to find the perfect length... which again might vary from cut to cut

Gonna need some guidance, not sure if I ordered a size too small, or if these are really that hard to even get to close on my waist. I tried to match the waist of my 21oz pairs, and I even measured 3 pairs of jeans that fit me comfortably, so maybe this cut just isn't for me? Oh well, came here looking for some guidance into this depth of weight. heh. In the picture, this is as far as I can get them to go, I can't even maneuver the bottom botton to try and slowly inch them shut.

Can you get the top button done? My first pair of XHS were like that, you can see them now a few posts up. They are five years old. I panicked and figured I’d sized wrong but it was just the weight and stiffness if the denim.
When I get home I will have to give it an honest attempt, when I get them on this evening, they aren't gonna be coming off til tomorrow morning though haha.
-
Gonna have to try harder and squeeze in, maybe use a plier stretch the top hole and make easier to fast it.

Maybe will try this, but don't want to destroy the jeans if they truly are the wrong size, in which case I would not feel right about exchanging.
-
Sorry for the double post. Will need some advice. Short of pliers, these are definitely not going on me. I don't think the issue is 100% the waist, as the thighs are also a little narrow. I think the next size up would look great, and honestly fit the way I would have wanted these ones to fit. Or maybe this cut just isnt for me, but I think next size up would be fantastic.

Those are too small. IMO, if you can’t button them with only a minor struggle, and the thighs feel tight, no amount of wear is ever going to make them comfortable. You might be able to squeeze into them with a ton of effort, but they will never be a joy to wear. Unless you’re a masochist.

@sethatwork looking at that last pic I think @sabergirl is correct in her analysis. The hip area/top block is too small for your body shape. Next size up should be good.

My replacement size came, damn near friction burned my finger prints off trying to button them, but I was able to get them on. These are a little tight in the waist and hips, but I know they’ll break in just perfectly and feel like a nice rug.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
