      Yeah that will go away after a few more wears. I have a pair of sweatpants shorts I sometimes put on under a new pair of XHS and I will wear them under the new pair of jeans to help stretch them out in all the right places. You can leave the top button unbuttoned to not stretch the waist too much.

        I would say that's part of the breaking in process. This is a 25 oz denim slim fitting pair of jeans–it wears you before you wear it. Which strangily is also part of the fun. Or in other words, if they didn't hurt at least a little bit right now, you would probably have been wearing a size (or two) too large.

          I'm going to retire early, I think… You've got this from here on in  😎

                    I also purchased mine recently (see my posts a few weeks ago). Even after 3 weeks, I'm NOT completely sure yet. I could hardly button up the jeans on the first day and yet now the waist already has room to spare (about .5 to 1inch). But even with a loose waist, I can hardly do an ass-to-grass squat due to big thigh and butt. And when I do, half of butt is showing. Hopefully time will sort this out. I'm also doing some lunges here and there to help. I really hope this works as I do think this is probably the best looking jeans I have. Otherwise I wonder if it would've been better if I had chosen a different cut (like one of the med/high rise jeans).

                      I just bought it second hand from a platform and it was for sell in my neighborhood! It was just like new in my size for a great price! Awesome find!

                        Thanks! I will check your post, i must say that i just stays on my waist and but and that overall there is no problem with the jeans! Only those thick stitches(specialy on my left hip) that is crushing.. when i take them of it’s stamped haha! But overall fit is great! So i think i just need to tame the beast!

                          Taming the 25oz denim is a slow, gradual but very rewarding process. They just get better and better.

                            Different body shapes tackle cuts in different ways if you have a meaty butt and thighs (I do), then the low rise of the 777 can show butt crack. That won’t change much, but long tees and shirts may solve your problem. Otherwise I can recommend the 555, but by the sounds of things the 888 will be perfect for you.

                            The XHS will stretch in the waist about and inch. That is normal for all jeans. The thigh won’t stretch much however when the material softens they will become more comfortable. You’re a way off that.

                                Nice. So I have hope. I might just bite the bullet and get that one and sell the 777. But I do wanna stick with this one for maybe at least another month or 2.

                                    ^ This is a good plan^ Judging by your pics from a few weeks back I’d say you’re fine as long as you learn to live with the low rise. I’ve seen much tighter fits than that, hell, I’ve worn XHS tighter than that. It is probably mostly  a case of the  XHS - WTF’s?

                                      Look at the pictures I posted wearing a green collar shit. From say 10 feet away the look hasn't really changed. That's why I haven't taken pictures recently. But wearing does feel better now than then. Man this looks so good and has so much more potential, and man the pain. Hope this helps.

                                          Yeah i feel you! I must say it has a lower rise then my momotaro or benzak denim, but not that low as you suggested! But after 3 days of full wear i start to get used to the denim. In anyway cause i think size 33(now i wear 32) would be to big! First i had the tags still on and the idea of maybe had to return them, but hell yeah i stick with this denim! Stretch en wear the hell out of it! And i’m just in it for a few days.. IH feels like a addiction! Have a good one all.
