@Lowlander i have the same combo of jacket and pants- at about the evo. Nice to see it on a different person. The pairing of denim is different and nicely works.

@Lowlander great combo with the jacket. Super EVO also.

Do you think I can get 1.5 inches of stretch eventually from the starting measurement? My waist is 35.5 inches…I fear if I go for the 35 I end up at like a 36.5.
Hi there. Do you mean your actual physical waist is 35.5”? If so try and get yourself a better metric to work with. Physical waist and the actual measurements of your jeans waist band are a poor match. Try measuring a pair of jeans that fit you well and use that as your comparison. Measure them using the same method as IH use. You will find it on a video on the product page in the web shop.
That being said, the tagged W35 starts at 36” according to the charts and will probably end up between 36-36.5” with stretch.

A few rainy day photos of me walking to get beer. These barley fit in the waist now! I have not worn them since April and it bummed me out when I tried them on. I am hoping that I can stretch them out but as you see, they probably already have been. Has anyone else hung up a pair of jeans for a spell only to find those beers made an impact?
I truly hope I can still wear them after the Indigo Invitational. They fit alright and about the same everywhere else. The waist is just a tad tight and I can feel it when I sit down to drive.
Last two photos were from last month. Same amount of evo. Cheers

1st off @Oaktavia those look fantastic! I hadn’t seen the whole shebang recently. As far as the waist, you probably just have to wear them for a week or two. Stretch em back out, chubby

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew how much there 555 xhs ib actually shrunk in the inseam after the first wash. I’ve had mine for about 2 months and I really don’t like cuffing them but I left myself about and inch and a half just in case. I don’t plan on washing anytime soon but I would really like to get them hemmed a bit more.
Thanks for any advice.
Peace -

PeaceYou can expect up to one inch of shrinkage in the inseam with a wash.

@Brandon510 Welcome to the forum… if you check out the assorted XHS and XHSib threads you will find a lot of documentation of shrinkage with different washing/soaking regimes. It all comes down to an inch max (often a little less).
