Set an alarm to buy these jeans the moment they went on sale. Can't wait to have a second pair of XHSib in my favorite cut.

They look awesome. Don’t know why but this denim in this cut seems especially tasty.

I agree 100%. It's finally cooling off so I'll be able to wear them right away. My winter 666 rotation is gonna be great.

25oz season is now. Received this afternoon. Going to shrink these down first thing in the morning. Between these and the 666-XHS I also just started today I’m in for a stiff couple weeks. These fit so much better than the 555 iteration I wore last winter and spring.

Taper is great for those with medium to short inseams (relative to height), but straight wins for those with a longer inseam every time. And yes, I am jealous [emoji1]

You're the master of the 888 though! How are your XHSibs coming along?

[neph93]

I have a very short inseam for my height. I'm 6', wide-ish in the body and have a 30" inseam. They are coming along, slowly but surely. They are not the jeans I reach for first as I find not everything I own works with the indigo/black. As you say though, 'tis the season to wear XHS so I§m planning on putting some wear on them.

@Palmer did you get some measurements pre/post wash by chance?

Lots of documented shrinkage on the IH-888-XHSib thread as well as the sample thread for the same jeans:

The data for standard XHS is also applicable as it is the same denim and behaves in the same way.

I just saw your question @Nskelton. Somehow I missed it earlier. I did take measurements, here you go.

Waist: 19.25 / 19
Front Rise: 12 / 11.8
Back Rise: 16 / 15.5
Thigh: 13.75 / 13.2
Knee: 10.1 / 9.9
Hem: 9.5 / 9.3
Inseam: 34.5 / 33.8

This shrinkage came from a hot soak with plenty of hand agitation. I line dried the jeans.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the delayed response!

Cant wait to see a pair of these in the wild with some of those purplish fades going on.
Purplish–-not even sure if that's a word

[Giles]

Sort of is-ish…

[dinobarnesberlin]

As long as you get my meaning , that's what counts

[Nskelton]

@Palmer thanks, those numbers look pretty good. I'd be a tag 38 as well. These would be my relaxed pair.

[Nskelton]

@Palmer How are these jeans looking for you these days?

Pretty much new to be honest. I've been focusing on a couple other pairs at the moment and these jeans see light duty weekends for the most part. I think they have about a month of actual wear in them, so some slight whiskering is about the only fading going on.

When will there be a restock? Need size 34.
