@WELDON

Thank you

Sorry if this was covered before, but the description says they will shrink an inch with a wash because they are unwashed. And then it states they will stretch about an inch with wear. So if I’m comparing to the measurement chart, is the final measurement for a waist size the starting measurement +1 or is it +0?

[Giles]

Approx zero.  But neither the shrinking nor the stretching is an exact science…..

As Giles says it isn’t exact as there are many variables in play.

Any pair of XHS will end up around about the same as published measurements in the waist after an initial soak/wash and then wear to stretch them back out. They may end up a little bigger than published measurements as you don’t always get that inch of shrinkage.

Hi @BD81,

I just bought a pair of 555 and feel like I got grandpa ass with how high the rise is. Just seeing your comment on the switch from 555 to 777 – what was the driving factor for you? How did the switch from the 555 to the 777 improve your experience?

Thanks,

J

@Jimothy  I wear my Jeans on my hips and with the 555 I experienced the same problem you speak of. lol It is no longer an issue with the 777,  I also prefer the tapered leg look as opposed to the straight 555. I went with 555 xhs the first time due to 777 xhs being sold out in my size, I regret not waiting or going with the 777 xhsib.

All documentation is good. Glad you found a cut that works for you.

No more Grandpa ass, builder crack now.. in 777

[Jimothy]

Lol @Kasi surely there must be a middle ground?

[Graham]

There sure is, 666 and 634.

[Kasi]

666 the cool James Deen cut…

[Jimothy]

Not to derail this thread and go too far off topic – but I got the 19 oz LHT today in the 666 and I must say this is my favourite fit for iron hearts thus far. Unfortunately this specific version is the only one I've noticed with this high of thigh to waist ratio...

Thanks to the awesomely worn XHS on the web banner decided to hang the XHSib’s and go back to working on this pair. I kinda enjoy the stubborn nature of this denim idk what it is. Also ended up sending these back to Indigo Proof back in Oct. to get the waist taken in as I wasn’t expecting to stretch 25oz. Like a pair of 21’s  ??? & been wearing them almost non-stop for the last month.

Current state of affairs (a little dusty but the fades are finally coming thru)
70ish wears, 1 soak, 2 hot washes.

Really like that fit @BD81

[BD81]

Thanks @neph93

I thought that I may have sized them a bit small at first, but they are starting to stretch out nicely after a month or so of casual wear.
