IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
One inch shrinkage is the maximum. There are lots of variables (size, amount of agitation in the soak, water temp, length of soak etc), but I have had three pairs of XHS and never had the full inch.
A good rule of thumb with XHS is to order the size with measurements around what you would like when the jeans are broken in. You will loose up to an inch with the shrink but regain around an inch with the stretching that occurs with wear.

It's getting cooler where I am, so these have come out of hiding. It feels good to be back in XHS again!
I know @twin is still wearing his pair. What about you, @Oaktavia, @alexswords, @Smiladon?
-
@Lowlander my 555XHSib are hanging up for now as year 2 of the Indigo Invitational has begun and i'll be rocking the 777XHSib for the next 12 months

^ I love those contrast pics! The XHS-ib really are such amazing faders.
I'll be rooting for you in the Indigo Invitational, Alex! The 777s look great on you.
Do you find the 777 very different from the 555 in terms of fit, look, comfort, etc?
-
Same @Lowlander as above. Once the 777 came out I jumped on it, as I find it works better on my body than the 555s higher rise. But wow! Yours look great and the fit is perfect
Here’s my 777XHSib fit now. Love it
-
Those 777XHSib look great @Smiladon. So does that CPO!
-
As a starting point @alexswords these look amazing . . .
-
It's great how shiny the denim is
-
@Smiladon & @den1mhead Good fits on both of you.
-
@Lowlander Your 555 fades are epic. Nice fit.

Still debating on these or the 777 version, but I do like that someone just a bit taller than myself can double cuff. @Smiladon if your Instagram name holds true at least.

I might be closer to 6' 6 3/4"
But yes, I am getting a way with the smallest double cuff possible. I think the inseam was 37" on these 777s… -
Had these on today.
Im really thinking about going with an XHSib pair next time. Those fades just look so epic.

You should move it up your list. It’s that good

Absolutely love my 666-21s and I already knew going in that the fades would be slow coming, but damn if the XHSib stuff doesn't just keep grabbing my eyes.
You mean my list that just keeps growing ?

Just joined the 25oz club. Strange question, I've always used the tub, but would it be okay to soak these in a big bucket?
