        @Kasi I'm wearing them raw. Afraid of soaking them and loosing some more on the waist. It would then be impossible for me to wear it anymore.

          Fwiw my experience was exactly how Neph described — gave em a hot soak and had barely any shrink, no more than 1/2". I get wanting to wear em raw for a bit, though. Maybe just wear em long enough to stretch a half inch then soak. Then they'll stretch back out with wear.

            They will definitely shrink a bit with a soak or wash. Up to an inch. They will stretch back out if you can wear them. Tight XHS is a bear

              Day 2 of my IH 666 XHS and I cannot say if it still is the right size on the waist for me. I'm attaching a picture that I took in a seated position. The waist button is undone, but at that position it is comfortable, but for me to be able to do the waist button, I had to suck air in so that my stomach contracts and then button it up. Is this normal?

              This is why I said in my previous post above is that a few cm's makes a galactic difference in the comfort. As it can be seen that I just need those 2 to 3 cm for my waist to be comfortable. If that is going to be achieved by the stretch, that is to be seen.

                Those could be a little tight. I definitely wouldn’t soak them. Mine are snug at first but I’m able to do them all the way up without too much issue. Others may have more input. I never soak my jeans before wearing. I just put em on and wear them till they need a wash.

                    They are tight just on the waist, while the other areas are good.

                      They're like 2 inches tight  🙂 And does it matter if the other dimensions are good if you can't do them up? I suspect you won't get 2" stretch in these…..

                        I lucked out with mine. Bought them from someone who only worn them a couple of times and had no creases or fades, but the waist was stretched. They were overall a little too loose in the waist and legs. I threw them in the washing machine on my normal cold cycle (with a small load of other dark clothes), and then threw them into the dryer on normal heat with everything else. They fit great now all across the board.

                        I also didn't want to have to deal with cuffs on cuffs on cuffs, so I cut off 4" from the length and threw the raw edge threw a serger before washing them, so now they have a raw edge that won't fray too much more.

                                    Judging from the pic, it looks like it will be a big hustle/determination to make them work. I would size one up. Do the other measurements differ that much that it would be too loose?

                                      I do not have the choice to send it back. I have worn it for more than a day. I have to now live with it. I will see what options I have to get a 2 cm extension on the waist.

                                            Yea, those definitely just look like the sizing won't work. Just take some accurate measurements and pass them along, and pick up another pair.
