      Man I love this cut and jeans but these thighs…if they would only have similar measurements as the 14oz 666.

      Did you notice any shrinkage on the thighs after a wash? Would you mind posting some measurements before and after in case you should have them?

      I'm on 5+ months with my pair and haven't shown them water so far. The fit is immaculate, though not sure what to expect after a  wash.

        I’ve had mine for 10 years.  No shrinkage ever.  Machine washed a couple times a year and even machine dried once when I slimmed down.  They aren’t going anywhere.

            On the 14oz? Minimal shrinkage but only for a couple of days after wash, then  back to normal.

              @Dmart so what are the issues you have when you consider some others with bigger thighs like the 634 or the 888? Just curious — for me, the 888 has the ideal top block but I wish it didn't taper. I don't hate em as is, but I just like a wider hem, especially for ease fitting over engineers.

              My next pair of IH will be a 634 — they sound like they'll be pretty perfect aside from the rise, which I'd love to be 12" on a size 34. 11 will likely be fine though.

              FWIW my 666XHS continue to break in more and more. I'm just wearing the shit out of em, putting all my other jeans on pause for the moment. Time for some focus, dammit 😃

                @popvulture I like the 634 but tend to size down with them that they don’t come too boxy for my liking. They have the perfect top block for me but could be a tad bit slimmer in the knee and hem, that’s why I size down and wait for the waist to stretch  😃
                The 888 has a great fit, works with engineers but I prefer the lower/mid waist of the 634/666. haven’t owned a 888, just tried them on in the store.
                In general I prefer slightly slimmer straight leg cuts, although for more dressier occasions the 777 is great with the taper.

                  Ahh, gotcha. I'm sorta obsessed with higher rise jeans lately, mainly due to just flat-out comfort level. I'm like HOLY SHIT I CAN MOVE MY LEGS TOTALLY FREELY :D. I also really like the way they look when they get properly whiskered.

                  Looking forward to trying some 634s. As it stands though, the vast majority of IHs I've owned have been 666. Solid-ass cut.

                    As someone whose first cuts were the 301 and 666, the 634 was a revelation, @popvulture  😃

                      Seems like this is the move, for sure @henry_david 😎

                      I've had a real strong itch to buy a pair in 21oz so I can give em a try, but I'm gonna wait for the UHR. Can't add 2 more pairs of jeans at the moment, or else truly nothing I own will ever fade haha…

                        lol I understand… Currently anxiously awaiting both the UHR and a restock of the IH-822.

                          My XHS is now in it's 6th month of continuous daily wear and the waist has stretched quite a bit compared to where it started - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1819.msg701361#msg701361

                          For any of you out there starting out with a tight waist, I would recommend not to do what I did - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1819.msg701495#msg701495

                          Let the denim naturally stretch which is the only way to get a comfortable fit after few weeks. I might wash it towards end of February with the hope that the waist will tighten a bit.

                              It has been just more than 6 months since I have been wearing my XHS and I gave it a quick hot soak today. Within minutes of putting it in the water, the water turned pale indicating the dirt it accumulated over the last 6 months of almost daily wear. Now looking forward to the result / fit post soak.

                                Get ready — they're gonna be crunchy as hell when they dry, but don't worry. They'll get super comfortable after some wears. I was really blown away by how much mine softened up after that first wash.

                                        I tried and mine won't stand up by itself. I don't know why. May be it has softened already and has lost its stiffness. Post soak, I noticed a little bit of change in the fit, especially in the waist, but otherwise no big change.

                                          The stand up pic takes some finagling. You have to make sure the legs are round, not flat.
