      XHS is heavy duty denim you can expect some discomfort the first few weeks @the246guy

      Also happy you’re enjoying them.

        Should this be of a concern that the hem from the inside is kind of coming apart just after a week of wear?

            Yes, I cuff them normal with a single fold as it can be seen in the image above. I do not have any problems with it, but I also do not want that it gets torn around that area thereby resulting the need for a new hemming. With my Ruttloff denim it took me almost 6 months for that to happen which is why I'm wondering.

              Totally normal. This is much heavier, stiffer denim so cuffing will cause this quickly, especially without a soak.

                @the246guy as the others have said, totally normal. Things that Ive found hammer cuffs are boots with speed hooks, not sure if thats applicable for you. The good news it its a fairly easy repair if you don't let it get to the stage where theyre hanging off, and IHUK being the legends that they are do free repairs, you cover the cost of shipping. Should be able to get a good while out of them before theyre in real need of repair  🙂

                    Thanks guys for the info. I wear them with my Truman boots and yes they have speed hooks, so may be the rubbing against the boots might have accelerated this. But anyways, I will keep an eye on them. I will soak them after another week of wear.

                      It is now almost 6 days with this denim for me. Had it on my legs at 30°C and boy it way so warm on the inside. I'm already seeing some electric blue showing up around the crotch area and I suspect the crotch will probably blow out sooner for me. I'm loving every bit of this denim.

                        Hi all. Just picked up a pair from a local IH purveyor. I wanted to get your opinion on the fit. I have been wearing 888s the last year, but I wanted a more trim fit. Thighs seem a little snug, but not uncomfortably so. I was also able to get the buttons done up without too much drama. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Also, I attached a picture of the middle seem in the crotch (I’m sure it has a more professional name). Does the stitching here look normal?  I’m assuming it’s just the nature of the heavy denim.

                          @Soleamp fit looks good. Just like the 666 is supposed to, I’d say.

                          The stitching looks right. The bar tack is necessary on such heavy denim and the constructional stitching has a lot to do holding those felled seams together.

                            @neph93 Thanks for the awesome feedback as always. I was looking at how the stitching was pulling apart a bit, but if you say it is good, that’s good enough for me.

                            I was planning on doing a hot soak to get it over with right away and pull out any shrinkage. I really want to do that as I usually cuff and leave leave them. Am I going to regret that?

                              I soak them straight away if they fit comfortably out of the box. If they are a bit snug and I don’t want to risk it, I wear them first for stretch and break them in prior to any soak.

                                My 777 xhsib and I've got no doubt they're rock solid, bar tack doing the heavy lifting.  I also already hot soaked mine

                                  @Dmart Thanks, I think I might chance it as they aren’t crazy tight.

                                    Start with a cold/ lukewarm soak if you are not sure, that’s what I do if I don’t need to shrink them much.

                                          Yeah, I just went for it. I want to get as much shrink out as I can, even if it means a few weeks of discomfort. I will know tomorrow…

                                            The waist will be uncomfortable for a couple wears, though you'll knock out a bunch in the first wear if you just power through.  I think the overall fit benefits from getting the shrinkage out of the rest of the fabric, also making sure you know where the hem and knee creases will settle
                                            "Middle seam in the crotch" is a lot of joinery coming together, I wouldn't worry about it, yours looks good.  Gonna post some pics/changes post soak?
